And on the back there's a lovely capacitor mod.

I see, and how does it plug into the slot correctly with all that solder?

When I insert the card, it acts as if the solder isn't even there. <shrug> (Meaning, it inserts without any problems or noticable difference to the other cards I have that don't have solder.)

However, that slot connector (and any slot connector you have inserted
the card into) is damaged for any normal card.  The spring fingers will
have been bent beyond their yield point, reducing contact pressure for
a normal card.
