Apparently i somehow knocked a bit of the transistor housing off, and i was wondering if i should try to fix it by putting a dab of glue on the copper to cover it up, or replace it? Or just leave it and hope nothing happens. Still works though.
Whats your thoughts?
Yeah a very small drop of something should be fine - silicon sealant would be my choice. Or a small strip of adhesive thermal tape. I wouldnt recommend super-glue as that will dry to a white hard mess.
Do you think i might have damaged it or that it might get damaged in the future as a result of this?
Thanks a lot for replying.
Yeah its damaged, whether or not it will work and be 100% stable is up to the silicon gods. Warranty is now void as well so you may as well try, best case you have a functioning card, worst case the card either a) needs repair b) becomes wall art.
sprayed some silicone on it to cover it up. Still clocks to 1380/1880, thanks for the answer :)
