hello, a year ago i short circuited my laptop while trying to open up to replace thermal paste and i dropped my screwdriver on the motherboard. it wasnt booting no image no sound, i went to the local repair and they made it work again but nvidia gpu wasnt working. ive been using with intel onboard gpu but i need more power for my education and i can not afford new computer. i asked some places and they said it would be worthless/too much effort to replace gpu chipset.
what am i asking is it possible that gpu chip not dead and maybe some resistors or something cheap burned that powers gpu so i can find it with multimeter and replace.
i dropped my screwdriver close to the gpu and little bit smoke came out from. i assume they changed what burnt so it boots now but yeah is there a chance they missed
currently i cant see my gtx1050ti in device manager also cant install its driver. i really nead help
