Hey /g/, a transistor chipped off of my gtx 1060 and now it won't display anything and fans won't turn on. The bios lights work though. Is it possible to solder the transistor back? I managed to find it inside my pc case.

Of course it is. Just solder that bitch back on.
Solder it back on or just RMA it and don't mention it fell off.

>transistor chipped off
Literally how?
>>57301615
Send it to Louis Rossmann.

I'm sorry?

No Louis Rossmann in Brazil unfortunately.

Here's another pic I took

Louis doesn't repair things that doesn't make him money.
Mind you, if you have the exact location of it pointed out, pay all the shipping costs and give him $10 for the 15 seconds it takes his soldering iron to heat up and tap that bitch, he might do it.

here's what you do, since i assume you have no rework experience and have no equipment, go to the hardware store and buy a hitachi hair dryer for removing paint, there is a model that has temperature control, these are fantastic for reflowing solder because the fan can be turned down to almost off and it's a $40 tool you'll use a lot once you have it. next is to pickup a tube of SMD solder paste, ebay or local electronics stores will have this, also get some electronics grade flux, not shit for plumbing, and a bottle of isopropyl 98% or better(chemist/electronics store/you already have some if you wear glasses).
step one, set out all the tools and parts, clean the surface where the tranny came off with a small amount of isopropyl and let it dry, now apply a layer of flux covering all the pads, now heat the surounding area to 150 deg C with the hair dryer, and proceed to heat the localized area to 280 deg C, the existing solder should reflow and become smooth
step two, apply solder paste on top of each pad, half as high as the pad is wide, now place the component in the correct orientation(copy the one to the left) and reheat the localized area to 280 deg C and as soon as the solder stops bubbling or the flux becomes dark, stop
step three, fully disassemble the gpu to just the PCB, wash it in warm soapy water and use a soft brush to scrape the flux from the area you reflowed. pat semi dry, now soak the entire PCB in isopropyl and leave in the sun to dry, you can also use your kitchen oven but only if it's electric to speed up the drying, max temp of 80 deg C.

Make sure you have an adjustable soldering iron, or a heat gun.

Neither of those is required for such a quick job.
Just get some leaded solder, add some to the pads, place the transistor on and reflow the pads.
