What sort of repair?

Knowledge is equally important if not more important.

I cannot stop laughing at your profile pic, I'm sorry

Usually when graphics cards die they go straight into the trash can. If it is a blow up capacitor it takes soldering equipment and a bit of skill in this branch. If it is the graphics chip it's D.A.G (Dump it And Go), you cannot really repair those.

You'd need:

• The knowledge/skill to identify the broken component
• An appropriate spare part
• A soldering iron and a (very) steady hand

But as @Albert F said, depending on what exactly is broken you won't be able to repair it even if you have the skill. Either because you can't buy the component separately and/or because the cost of diagnosis and repair is higher than the cost of a replacement card.

Given the current market, losing a card would be quite bad.

it is... but what can one do?

[Mark Kaine]

soldering iron, reflow machine, parts, lead (free) lead... 

 

That'll be about 20k $ if I'm not mistaken?

I would have thought that too, but then I learned there are parts, like the VRAM where an iron doesn't cut it - because there's no soldering points on the back side of the card, hence you need a *very expensive* reflow machine, technically.

Depending on the card, it might be worthwhile to look into outsourcing repair if you can't RMA it under warranty.

Soldering iron. the fact you didn't know that I wouldn't recommend attempting it
