Is this fixable? Blown chip on GPU

[Heisenborg]

Hi guys

My son's pc wouldn't post today. Having a look on the card and seeing this on the back. Is it fixable? Its a RX580

There is damage to the PCB, and likely to the traces, you could probably bridge the traces with soldering wires. from what i can gather it is a pcb power relay switch.Could likely be fixed, finding someone able to do it is entirely another story.

It's difficult to see exactly how bad the damage is. Use an old toothbrush and some acetone to clean that component. That will at least show whether the damage is only the component, or if it goes deeper.

Also, the larger issue may be what caused this component to go. There might be a larger, underlying issue.

Looks like a 1uf 16V MLCC

Part of MSI documentation for their RX 470/480/570/580 VDDC

That can be fixed but the question is there any other damage not visible to the naked eye?

There's a guy on carbonite who does GPU repairs. I'll try remember the name.

EDIT: ScorpioMan and Souljazk might be able to help - on carb.

remove the cap & cleanup with isopropyl alcohol.
if the cap is shorted then it might have blown any onboard fuses. If its open circuit then you have other issues as it looks to be a smoothing cap so the card 'should' work even if the cap is blown
