Thank you for the updates mateI bought a load of caps... lets see if its one of these I guess.
Think we just leave it here for now, but put it back together until some parts come in. I'm not massively hopeful for it but who knows.
Just gonna throw em in my test rig and see what they do before prodding them.Oooh, Royal Fail didn't fail for once.
ok so both boot, and both have vram corruptionOooh, Royal Fail didn't fail for once.
I wonder if we can make one good out of 2 or we swap all their ram...aye no worries, we will still try and fix it! Im just not sure why the power stages arent coming up. we will find out when we swap caps and then we can re-test it see if it's any different.

Yeah one of them gets very, very hot so not sure if it is actually VRAM, think it is the larger one, untouchably hot.
EDIT: Also not sure how much VRAM costs these days, let me know.

The fact its got actual holes in its vram may explain this:
Its got 4 chips that are seriously burnt / have holes in the same place....

Yeah, that's got to be a power delivery issue somewhere?
I think last time I bought some of the Micron IC's they were MT61K256M32JE-14:A but those look like SK Hynix ones, I paid about $7 each from Aliexpress that was a while ago though, you probably have better more up to date info.

Ive found them and 4 of them are 32 quid. I dont think the cards got delivery issue I recon somebody has clocked the nuts out of the memory for extended time... I wonder if it was a mining card?
Id probably replace them all looking at it tbh thats like 47 quid

Why it IC part number please? Can't see from that picture.
H56G32CS40-X005
but looks like that is interchangeable with H56G32CS4D-X005

Got to weigh up the options then, if it is only the Memory IC's and the rest of the card is fine then maybe just order them as cheap as possible form Taobao/Aliexpress or something, and wait for delivery. How many hours is it going to take you to replace 6x memory IC's, and retest the card, as I need to make sure you are adequately compensated.

About an hour to swap em all over.

Thought I would check the other one... different mem chips on that one

Typical.
On this other card I'm just going to re-ball this ram IC real quick. All the other ics looked good underneath apart from this one.. who knows we might get lucky.
