GPU GOLDEN CONNECTOR PINS

[Khalat silevani]

Heey guys!

Since your the pros i would like to ask, can i fix my expansiv problem

 

the last pin is half broken off is it fixande ?

[2SidedPolygon]

Not certain if it's fixable, but it'd at least be worth popping it into a computer and seeing if it works

Doesn't look too broken, does that keep the card from working?

[Khalat silevani]

The card Works perfect for anything but for gaming. As fast as i start a game, it crashes.

That might still make contact with the connector, so it should work.

What you wanna do now is make sure it does not break any further... First i'd "extend" it with a toothpick and try to make it flat again, then I'd "hammer" the loose end with a really fine thing, your smallest allen key for example, so that the trace does not keep getting damaged. If the tiny gold foil is not flat against the board after you've done that, you can try soaking the tip of a toothpick on superglue and using it to lay the glue between the board and the gold trace... then apply pressure for a minute and hope it sticks.
 

If it does not work, you will need to use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/MG-Chemicals-Two-Part-Conductive-Adhesive/dp/B008UH4DB2
(You can probably find cheaper ones) to repair the broken pin/tab/trace.

Heres some errors i get when it crashes

So the drivers have a clean install and you are trying multiple games and benchmarks

 

I don’t think that pin goes all the way down anyway. What about the other side?

The other side is good, benchmark crashes, all of the drivers are Clean installed ofc even Windows and everything is updated

Other side is good as in it’s a full length pin? 

 

You can get metal to replicate tbe pin. Like restoring defrost leads on glass. If you prep it right and give it time to cure. 

Also risk it flaking off and shorting pins in the pci slot.

yes yes other side is in perfect shape. All in full length.

i Will go to multitech shop near me and ger them to replicate a pin and hopefully that is the only problem
