Soldering a 6800GT

[bigbadish]

Hey guys,

I've pulled one of the conductors off of my GT and wondering if your local PC shop would be able to fix it, as if I can spend £5, £10 or even £15 and get it fixed it would be a lot cheaper putting it in my other rig than buying a brand new card.

Cheers.

Conductors? Where abouts? Do you mean the copper connector on the card that fits into the slot? Or a capacitor? And i doubt that a PC shop would give it a go, at least, not the ones that i know of. Perhaps a TV repair shop or something similar.

If it's a track you'll need a professional to repair it, especially if you've lifted it. Please explain the damage.

A picture would be even better so that we can see and assess the damage.

Power connector perhaps - if it is, that's pretty easy to fix if you know how to solder. They're pretty chunky though - how did that happen?

Sometimes the card doesn't stop working after a capacitor comes off. I have seen many cases were peoples cards still work fine even if a capacitor comes off.
