Hello,

recently I snipped the DVi port of on my Zotac 1080 ti Mini, but sadly damaged the card.

So this thread will be a how to repair your GPU thread – hopefully!


In the prozess of cutting the DVI port i hit one of the caps and chipped one of the resistors on the backside of the card.

After some reseach i found a matching cap and ordered it.
Some days later it was solder-time. What a fiddly work, but yes I get it! Succsess!!

[Pics of the new Cap and how to solder that thing following soon :) ]

So on to the next challenge - the resistor :(


Sadly I never found that lost resistor from the GPU again, so does anyone here have a 1080 ti Mini and is willing to check the electrical resistance of that resistor (as shown in the pic)?


That's where the project stops at the moment.


best regards

Jay

Wow, that's really bad luck ☹
These resistors are really small and very complicated to soldering.

Did you search in google? Maybe some review with good quality phots you can see th resistor.

Are there similar sized ones near the dvi port you cut off? Probably some that may be fine to remove that controlled that port.

I used to fix phones and harvested many from random boards. This is a tough repair. I used a hako hot air, a heat gun may assist if it has a small tip. Using a soldering iron with these is really tough, always wants to stick to the iron.

Steady hands..good luck!
