I have an HP Victus laptop with the Ryzen 7 CPU and integrated iGPU, as well as the Nvidia 3050ti secondary GPU. A few weeks back I was attempting to replace the thermal paste to help temps while gaming and ripped off two resistors from the memory chips for the GPU. I was able to measure the second set of memory on the motherboard and determine which value resistors I had broke. I ordered new parts from a supply shop and attempted to solder them back on the board, but the GPU is still not working. I can see the GPU in GPU-Z, but it doesn't report any memory size.
It's possible that I messed up soldering these metric 201 sized components, I have a hot air station but could not get a good reflow so I used a micro soldering tip on the iron to get the resistors soldered. With the hot air I kept losing these chips to the 9th dimension.
I attached the overall GPU picture here and will put up a marked up version of the chips I broke.
This is where the chips I popped off came from. I do not have a picture of the attempted repair unfortuately.
Is it possible that I damaged the GPU by using the laptop while I was waiting for new parts to come in? I disabled the device in Windows, but I know this doesn't prevent power from being applied to the GPU. I would really like to save this if I can.
