Ohh okay, I see, all right, I'll relay everything you guys told me to the technician when I bring the card to him, and I'll update as soon as there's any progress or definitive news! Edit: Btw, Bananasplit_00 and Arttu89 PM me your Monero addresses or leave them down below if you're into cryptocurrencies, I'd like to send you guys a tip as appreciation for the help!

Oh awesome, thanks for clearing that up! Yeah, there was quite a bit of dust in there and also it looked like it was turning to mud at some point, like soggy kind of dust, so probably what you're saying, it's the outcome of a short. But that gives me some hope, can't make it any worse at this point, I'll look for a technician who can take a look at it definitely! You mean removing the whole burned part area off and trying to run the card that way?

Is that a capacitor that's burned? Any idea on that?

Yeah that's my line of thought too, there doesn't seem to be any physical damage in any other areas of the board, so you reckon those pieces could be soldered off and replaced if I had spare parts?

Hey, LTT community, I joined this awesome place because hope dies last and hopefully your knowledge and experience can either help me bring that card back to life or we're gonna collectively call the time of death for it. The Problem: Sapphire RX Vega 64 (blower style) not detected at all in device manager, the fan doesn't spin, only the Radeon LED lights up. When I opened it up to see what's the cause of the problem, I found the following (please see attached images). That "0.82uH 1708NC" (is that a capacitor?) part in the middle looks to be the culprit, it's burned and the little black square chip next to it has a corner of it missing (I don't know if that affects anything?). I found this RX Vega board layout: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-radeon-rx-vega-64,5173-4.html and it looks like there was 1.8V going through that particular part. It's located in the labeled image, just under VDDCI, labeled as 1.8V in a white square. The Question: Now the question is can this part be replaced assuming I'm able to get another Vega just for parts, and then solder it off from one board and solder it on to the other one? How likely is that this burned part is the only sole culprit of the faulty GPU? Could there be anything else burned or destroyed that's not visible from physical inspection? If there's anyone who can help me in any way, shape or form, pointing me to where I could get the replacement part or what's the best way to approach the repair and how it should be done, basically if there's any hope and if you can shed some light on that, I'll be grateful to you forever and if you leave a Monero (XMR) address, I'll make sure your effort is properly rewarded as well! Thank you for your time reading this, I'm looking forward to your responses and advice! Hope you all have a wonderful day! :))
