i guess max u cud do is re-capping entire card or atleast major capacitors from schematics.
the main issue wud be finding where the fault lies...

A 1-2 year old 8600GT Card (within warranty) sells for less then Rs. 1500/0 on the forum

As such there is no sense in getting a 5 year old card repaired IMO
 
See...i dont wanna sell it...just wanna keep the card ....since this was my most used and loved card...since i bought it with my own cash...and not from my dad....

@siril_k...any idea where I can do that...in kolkata...
 
The 8600GT was released in April, 2007. So its 3.5 years old IINM. And ya if the repair cost is high it doesnt make sense to repair it as a out-of-warranty 8600GT would fetch ~1k-1.2k in the market.

Edit: Wait for members from Kolkata to come up with details for u.
 
oops...ya...my fault in calculation....

it has just crossed 3yrs...

because I bought it during the puja of 2007 ( october )..

and now is december of 2010 ...ya ya....thanks @darkangel for correcting me....

@ darkangel...... i dont wanna sell it...so it doesnt matter what I will get as resale value...
 
Mostly its the VRAM that dies. Indicated by corrupted displays. If this is the case, either VRAM has to be replaced, or reflowing can be tried.

Simply put: take card to cell-phone repair shop, ask em to remove your VRAM Chips n resolder em. If any capacitors are bulging replace em.
 
if u're so passionate,then u're better off giving it to the distributor for a 'paid rma'(reapir).i dont know if thats possible but there is no hamr giving it a shot.what say?
 
No yaar.... I went there...they said that they didnt want to take risk....

I told them that it is not starting so there is no harm trying but they refused...

But I can go for a paid rma....

Having some very busy schedule lately....Will think about it pretty soon...
 
mate, I too am in kolkata, and I also want to get my 8600GT fixed. I don't know where to get the blown caps fixed though....I know a guy who can do that.
But he takes a lot of time.... :(
