So i have a dead Sapphire rx vega 64 reference card.
Dead. No display, no gputach lights, fan not spinning.
I opened it up... Found 3x ceramic smd caps blown, removed and cleaned them off... still nothing however core seems to get very slightly warm when i try to power it up.
What is the likeliness that getting some fresh capacitors soldered on will bring it back to life? anyone has these capacitors or can i scavenge them from another dead gpu?
Was thinking about getting a quality soldering iron to attempt this job, but since my soldering skills are weak, now i put it up on bidorbuy also, pending any other ideas you guys & girls may have...
Below are the approximate location of caps blown:
