Hi all,

While moving house the GPU got damaged. Like this:

Is this fixable? I probably wouldn't be able to do it myself, but I'd be willing to pay for someone else to of course. There's not really any local shops who do that sort of thing, which sucks.

Cheers.
 
Yeah don't think this is something I could manage if I'm honest. I'll have to look for someone in the UK who does this type of work.
 
Can't tell if the pads for the first two resistors are ripped.

If they're intact, most console/phone repair-type places should be able to handle it.
 
its easier if you have the resistors that fell off!!!

did you find them all? take it to laptop repair place,they should be able to solder them back on
 
Sorry for the delayed reply all. Phoned around my local area, no one does that sort of soldering locally, which is a pain.

The card will power on etc, but provides no signal to the monitor. Initially it seemed to work, but any 3D app would cause it to crash and no it no longer provides signal at all.
