TV Tuner/Capture card - Help?

[Reality]

Problem: Video capture software freezes intermittently while trying to display input device

Ideas: Possible hardware defect (Damaged capacitor?)

Ideas? Obviously I'm looking for somebody with experience when it comes to this sorta thing (and by "this sorta thing", I mean identifying whether or not this is or isn't a damaged capacitor, and if it can be replaced if it is)

Thanks for any help you can provide

Picture quality doesn't really help but... no it doesn't seem normal, unfortunately best you can do is to use a capacimeter (fuck knows the english term, the tool to measure Farads) or provide some better pics :<

Looks like it's used all the magical power that was contained in the cartridge. You'll have to put in a new magical cartridge and reload.
