Snapped a chip off my gfx card earlier. Just really looking to see if anyone knows if its repairable :/
Here are some shots to try and better illustrate my problem.
Before (re-positioned):
After:
Result:
I think I know someone who can solder the chip back on, I just don't know that even after this is done, will it work?

I dont think it is repairable I'm afraid, most retail soldering irons arent made for such small components, if you're very lucky you might be able to fix it, but the real risk is in the copper tracking. One blob of solder in the wrong place will completely knacker it, and you may end up doing more damage than good (to the motherboard). You can either have a look to see if there are any specialists who can do the job, but it may be cheaper just to purchase a new GFX. good luck dude!
