[ash-306]

Send me a decent pic of damaged and i might be able to repair it. Im a fully qualified electrician and work on electronics a fair bit.

pop a pic up so we can have a look, you may well be able to repair it with some conductive paint and high grit sand paper for <£5

Or that. Get some copper stuff (cant remember the name). They sell it in car part shops, its normally used for repairs broken heater lines in the rear window of your car.

Man, you must have dug in pretty hard with the screwdriver to cut the traces!

I'd solder it, I've fixed broken traces before, it's not too hard unless the traces are really thin!

Post a Pic , I could at least assess if its a goner or not

I would like to see it too, could be a fairly easy fix.

heres a pic, i basically removed the lacquer so i could check the tracks, ones deffo broken dunno about the others not had time.

i put a link wire on the one that i could see but what happens is, the card goes into windows then black screens, until you go in safe mode, but with the wire off its fine.

still waiting on evga to reply.....

 

[Nick1881]

Hard to tell from that, have you rubbed the laquer off?

 

[derkaderka]

Hmmm , looks not too good to be honest

Those are very fine pitch tracks and would be difficult to bridge with an iron
BUT , it might be possible to follow either side of the break to locate a decent
point to solder a wire between to bi-pass the break.

Just sell it on Ebay and buy a 5850, you'll get more money than you're going to lose.
