contact zettabit.lab, buildzoid (actually hardcore overclocking) and eli tech on youtube (they may have their own webites even) for help.

Well, probably you'll have to replace that component if it's possible and you can find it or an equivalent, or something else got shorted out. There is not much else we can tell you.

I have to say this is by far one of the most bizarre accidents I have ever seen. Solder on video card while it was still running inside a PC.

Yea i know and its the most impossible too cuz it has a plastic shield that protects almost allll the pcb and... Well there's only that corner that specific power regulator that is left out and the solder landed right there like what where the odds of that happening :'))

Something I've thought about just now. If the damage isn't really obvious, I guess you could try and RMA it if it's within warranty. Obviously, you're not gonna mention any of this.

Well... A little update i guess
I found what went wrong

Well it aint within warranty ...it expired like 2 months ago

I did found this on the board... So i guess that's the problem
A crater right in the middle of that ic... And i doubt its smth i can replace..

It is probably not worth the effort to try and repair it, good thing it was a relatively inexpensive card.

 

[Dusclops3]

Well indeed wasn't that's of a expensive card but... (I don't want pity) but i raised money for it for like 7 months and i wanted to see if i can fix it

Thanks for all the fast replies and I'm still open for any ideas or miracles...
