Re: PNY 6600GT repairable?

The odds are not good that that one transistor that fired is the ONLY part
that died...

Hello

Yesterday, i bought a new PSU, a 530w hiper. Anyway, when my old psu
failed, i thought it had blown my AGP card, so i decided to test it with
the new PSU. When i powered up, i heard a little crackle and saw some
smoke coming from the card. Anyway, when i took it out, i noticed a small
transistor had gone, you can see which one on this pic:

Is there any way this can be fixed, if not by me then a specialist, or is
the card a goner?

Thanks.
