Having fixed it once already I have now managed to kill it once again, this time i was slotting it into the case and caught two of the SMD's on the back and knocked them off. Anyone know what they are as I can't seem to find them anywhere in my case, they seem to have vanished, so I will just order some from rs or farnell. http://www.the-grand-line.com/hwbot/20130924_233900.jpg Thank in advance all Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4
A rough guess - if you see along the lines there are a pair (two) surface mount components with black body. Are there any markings on this components - if there is a marking, then it would be a resistor. If there are no markings, it could be a resistor or capacitor - no way of knowing unless you desolder the other components and measure. An easier option is to RMA the card and state that it does not work ?
Find them and glue them back on. I can't help thinking you're somehow not supposed to have Titans and this is nature's way of letting you know. I'm not supposed to have aftermarket GPU waterblocks. I took my 680 full cover waterblock off and sold it because I thought it was the reason my Nvidia drivers kept crashing on both win 7 and win 8 and blue-screening... well turns out it was really caused by speedfan. Another thing I'm not supposed to have is a green laser. My first ever green laser cost my £250 and was 40mw. I killed it a year later by connecting the power leads the wrong way round. I could have protected my laser with a simple diode on the power line to make it idiot proof (but why would an idiot take such a precaution?). A few years later I bought a 100mw green laser from an eBay seller in Japan. Was amazing while it lasted. That 100mw green beam really stung pretty good if it touched my skin. It died 4 months after purchase because it was a cheap boosted laser operated beyond it's range. I doubt I will ever buy another green laser. My next laser will be blue.
I dung get much time to offer advice here these days but I still try to stop by once in a while. Just thinking... perhaps he could claim the components fell off the Titan because they weren't glued on properly in the first place.
Yeah it looks like resistors, I'm gonna remove another one and measure the resistance then order some Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4
Just because it got damaged doesn't mean I wasn't being careful Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 4
