HELP!

Unfortunately, by accident I managed to damage my "Abit Siluro GF3".
I think this card follows the nVidia GF3 reference-design.

I damaged what I think is a resistor. A part of this part broke off, resulting in funny colors on the screen.

If I can identify this little chip, I can get a local electronics-workshop to replace it for me.

The "chip" in question is probably a "resistor-pack" chip with 4 resistors in line. It has 8 legs, and the text on it says "15O" (I think). I guess this means 15 Ohms.
Its positioned on position "RP 428" on the back of the card.


Please help me identify this chip, so I can buy it and replace it.
If Someone knows a part-number/manufacturer for it, I would be grateful.
Thanks, Albe

Have you emailed Abit to see what they can tell you about it? They'll have circuit diagrams and stuff that they can look at.

edit - should have circuit diagrams

Yes, I contacted Abit. The main office (Taiwan) never replied, but the netherland brancd did.
This was their answer:
------------------------------------------
This is technical information, we cannot give this to you.
The only thing to do is that you send in the card for repair.


With kind regards

and my dealer just tells me that it is a "User problem", and not covered by warranty.
So he said he could not help me. I guess they do not repair stuff, they only replace them if warranty exists.
