[SOLVED] Is my graphic card cooked? Or is it saveable somehow?

[FearLegendary]

Pretty much the title. I already replaced this graphic card months ago however I opened it up just to see the damage and oof, it doesn't look good. However I'm wondering if I could resell this to someone as parts only or possibly repair it... or if this card is a lost cause?

It's a MSI GTX 980 TI, if that matters.

I’m no expert but you might put it on eBay as a parts only card for like 50 bucks and see if anyone bids on it.

Yeah I was thinking of that, but If its repairable then the price immediately goes up to like 350 lol.

Can it be 'repaired?
Maybe, probably not.

Can you repair it?
Almost certainly not.
(If you could, you wouldn't be here asking... )

There seems to be actually cooked parts and circuitry.

Measure resistance from Vcore to ground on the GPU die size of the inductors. If there is a short, then the GPU probably got 12V and is junk. You can also double-check by testing diode drop from Vcore to ground. If there is a chance the GPU might still be good, the voltage drop should be at least 0.4V.

Hard to tell from the picture how bad the damage is, you'd need a high resolution close-up on the damaged area. That said, anything bad enough that the PCB solder mask has burned off is definitely going to be a tough fix.
