Totally fixable with a hot air soldering.
Cheapest go for about $80, then you would probably need something to measure to values of the surrounding caps
Its been a long while since my classes in this area, so my first question what are we looking at? specifically what kind of component is it that damaged? Im not ashamed to admit it, but im not even sure what those are? Are they tiny capacitors? where would you even find replacements? even if you had the tools, it would take brain surgeon fingers skills to work on stuff that small, or am i wrong?
Looks like you're SOL.
No he isn't. That is a easy repair for anyone with a little solder experience. Just find the the resistor type and value. Then just check your area for someone experienced in soldering to solder the new piece back in. Or if he is feeling up to it he can attempt the repair himself. Shouldn't cost him much at all to have it repaired.
There is a chance those are 0 ohm. If that's the case, you can just use solder to connect the pads directly and bypass replacement parts altogether. I know certain manufacturers use 0 ohm "resistors" when enabling features on boards that can be disabled simply by not having one. Anyway, just a thought.
The capacitors are 220nf (0.22uf) using the 0402 package (for pci-e 2.0 they were 100nf). Anything rated above 5V should work.
These should do the trick:

Might be worth double checking the card to see if all the pads are still there, I can only see solder on 4 out of 6.
If you opt to do the repair yourself it shouldn't be too difficult. If not then I'm in the UK and have done these before, I'll send you a PM.
I for one am seriously curious how your able to identify the exact model of those caps...im not doubting you for a second, just trying to pick up how you did it
Dear Customer,
The damage is a bit serious, we couldn’t guarantee it can be repaired. And it needs to be shipped to our China plant for repairing, customer will bear the freight cost.
Thanks and Best Regards
I could be wrong, but he may have just referenced some PCIe spec sheet to see what sort of caps are called for at the various pins on the slot. Pretty much every GPU I've seen has those rows of caps along the slot so I'd imagine it has something to do with the pci specification.
Was this after the damage? I would of thought that kind of damage would cause no video output immediately.Sketchus said:Initially the card would display for a time, then would crash if I was running any game in crossfire. Now it just doesn't output any signal whatsoever.
