I got my EVGA 980ti Hybrid half year ago and I broke it two weeks later.
Since then I've stopped playing games...
Today, I was going thru my closet organizing stuff and I found this graphics card.
And I thought, at least I can sell it to the junk house? Maybe I can fix it?
So I went on the internet and looked up different ways of fixing it.
I figured out that putting it in the oven wouldn't work since I have a freakin broken capacitor on my GPU.
Well, can I fix this or it's done for all?
Are there places where I can sell those stuff if it was a junk?

Yes I know, it looks ugly.

That actually wouldn't be too hard. Might be tricky to not desolder the nearby ones, though. Would just have to get the form factor of the capacitor, and you would probably have to buy a few hundred to get one (they are super cheap though)

This would require a thermal soldering gun (hot air usually) and solder paste rather than the typical direct contact soldering iron.

Those capacitors are just there as buffers, you might be able to get away with simply bridging that gap with something conductive as well.
