Need some hlep guys.
With great skill I knocked two very little resistors off of my GTX280
Even better than that, one of them broke in half as well.
The good news.
The PCB looks good, most if not all the pad is still there to solder to.
I've also got my hands on another dead evga 280.
What I want to do is try and fix my card, by taking the parts off the really dead one (core is toast) and resolder them onto mine.
But desoldering parts is something I've never done before.
What's the best (easy) way about doing this, and what's a good tool for the job ?
I'm at work now, I'll post up a picture of what I did later
