did i mess up my gf3??

[Mylle]

Well,

The card was already halfway messed up. lines all over the screen cause by another users attemt to put on ram heazinks to cool the card. in this attemp he somehow made contact somewhere between the legs on the ram chips. It was trying to clean this up that i messed up. i accidently broke of one of the little capasitors right next to one of the ram chips. The card works just as good/bad as before so im just wondering how bad missing one of theese are??

also. i have tri9ed a million things to clean theese ram chips to get rid of the lines but with no luck. any good ideas of how to fix this?? can i soak it in alcohol??

thanks alot

Mylle

Your card is damaged severly. I have done such things on my old Permedia 2 (HeatSink Fan trouble) and when anything touches the card other than the ram and the core, the card won't function anymore.
