GPU Burnt, No idea how to get it fixed

rixx.mp4

so i got this ROG Strix GTX 1070 from a friend of mine who somehow managed to burn his GPU, He said i could keep it if i fixed it, Repair shops are saying they dont repair PCB Damage, I dont want to do anything to it without checking here first. Attaching Images :

assuming nothing is damaged except the traces (highly unlikely)

 

you'll need to remove any shorts and connect them with small wires, and it MIGHT work

 

chances are, something defective caused it and if you apply a fix without diagnosing the root cause, it'll likely happen again, or somewhere else may fail

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

Would say an ASUS service centre fix it

Nope. Any damage on the PCB and they reject fixing it. If you dont know how to fix it then there is no feasible method for you to get that card working.

i would have to guess not

 

this is more of a replacement than repair job at this point

if you had to ask, means you don't understand what you're doing

so don't

People who bake shit hoping to fix shit are less intelligent than most animals. Baking only helps when GPU substrate is the issue. Otherwise its just pointless.

Yes I know of few ways of attempting to fix a problem like this. None of which is possible for you to do so, without having some knowledge of what you are doing some tools and most importantly some experience. As previously said:

Honestly the fact you posted such blurry pictures tells me you dont have the expertise to do it, it could probably be fixed otherwise, i dont know how either - i cant even see whats wrong, and the cooler is also still mounted, impossible to see possible further damage, but if someone told me what to do i could  probably do it as im actually pretty good at soldering, unless this needs a reflow machine or something, which i doubt…

 

 

Not trying to discourage you (as its basically a free card) but with blurry pics like this you arent going to get super helpful answers im afraid.

Or find a graphics card with the same pcb and a dead chip? if that exists… (looks like a Strix ?)

and then just "swap" the actual gpu?  Might work? Still difficult, even finding such a card, probably.

advising a person who wants to bake a GPU to do such tasks?

perhaps

well i was just thinking about a solution thats easier, but its still difficult, also wouldnt be free anymore (which it wouldnt be anyways as you'd need pretty good soldering equipment)
