Can This GPU BE FIXED??

Hello guys so i have attached pictures in which it visible there is a crack on gpu board is it fixable.
Gpu
R9 m290x

 

I wouldnt think so but maybe @Khenglish can give a better answer

 

Well then let's wait for his response

 

The card still works right? I think that exposed line is just GND. You have a lot of those so one getting damaged should not matter.

 

No it doesn't work. It's not detected in bios

 

Ok, do you have a multimeter?

 

I may be seeing a short in your first image. Clean the damaged area with a brush (toothbrush is good) and rubbing alcohol, then take another picture.

If there is a short, they are best removed with 1000+ grit sandpaper.

 

No i don't have a multimeter but i can get one

 

The board was cracked by screw driver there was a gap between the crack i fixed it with wire cutter by pressing it

 

Here is another picture

 

Ok on the rightmost damage make sure those 2 copper lines are not touching. It looks like you replaced R2733? It's hard to tell with whatever you put on the board. It's a 10k resistor in case you need to replace it.

The right pad on R2733 was torn off and that will be breaking the card. You need to add a wire from the right side of R2733 to the closest exposed copper trace. I'll make a picture.

 

No i did not replace anything can you make a picture please

 

Ok so you are missing the R2733 resistor?

 

I don't know if it was there

 

Ok after working on it alot i found out that indeed i am missing r2733 and i remember that when i was pressing that torn out board together it came out but even before that when resistor was on the board the GPU WASN'T working so i don't know what's the situation here.

 

I'm sorry for the wait. I made an image on what I think should make the card work.



I'm thinking the initial damage broke R2733's solder connections, and subsequent touching of the area made the resistor fall off. Add a 10k Ohm resistor as specified in the image. The right solder pad for R2733 is fully ripped off, so you'll have to solder further down the same trace to get a connection as specified by the blue dots.

From your images it looks like you may have a short between the red and orange boxes. Gently scrape or sand between red and orange to make sure there is no short, and check with a multimeter if you can.

 

So i have to make a connection between these two copper scratches

 

Yeah. I think it's best to use a small regular radial 10k resistor with solder leads attached instead of trying to add a wire to an SMD resistor. It's really easy to lose SMD resistors when trying that sort of thing.

 

I am bit confused here where to install the resistor.

 

Solder the two leads to the blue dots I drew.

 

Ok after that

 

I'm not sure what you're asking. The resistor has 2 leads, and I drew 2 dots.

 

So i should solder the resistor on blue dots and remove short from orange and red?

 

Yes. There may not be a short though. There's damage that looks like it may have caused a short, but I cannot tell.

 

That means chances are very low
