Busted 9800 Pro

ragincajun · Jun 27, 2005, 12:46 AM

Fan went out on my 9800 Pro. While changing the fan, I accidently ripped the heat sink off one of the small chips behind the molex connector. Part of the chip it was glued to came with it. Now my video is all screwed. I have taken pics of the chip, and can email to anyone who might be able to tell me if this a repairable problem or not. Thanks in advance.

I didnt know about this until yesterday, so dont feel bad-
It depends on whether you tore the chip OFF, or apart. If it was a clean pull off, you may be able to solder it back on (if your good at soldering)
