Blizzard PPC crystals, where can I get them?

Sorted out one problem with my Blizzard PPC 060-50 603e-240.  I need the two crystals, where can I buy them from here in the UK, Wales. :-?

Just noticed another problem, the small chip under the 2nd crystal looks damaged, the outer two pins on either end seem to be broken off. Does anyone know if this would cause a problem, or are they supposed to be like that. :-o

If that chip is cracked it will surtantly cause problems with your card!

It's not cracked, the last two pins on the outer sides are broken away from the chip, not sure if it could be resoldered as it's so small, also the pins have broken away from the chip.

Sounds like a heating problem. That is the repetitive heating and cooling has caused it to crack. However check with another blizzard owner before doing anything.

As for crystals try

Too much caffeine????
There\\\'s no such thing!!!!!!!  :pint:
