Worth a shot if you can get it fixed cheaply. There is of course the risk that it's not the NF200 that failed but something else (e.g. the power feed or another trace to the NF200).

Yes indeed but if they'll do it for free or for a very small amount then I'm willing to take that risk. The price of the chips is to low not to take it. And if the board is indeed doomed, even after the repair, then I guess I'll just save up for another one or buy another board completely. Just a shame since I really really wanted a working SR2 in my possesion.
I will post the nvflash shot just o be sure. Would be stupid to break out the waterblock if both chips would show up.

Looks like you're missing one NF200.

Took some pictures of the chips (removed the block and thermal paste obviously) Nothing much to see though. I got into contact with the company that has that soldering machine. They're going to let me know if they can handle it. I had to send the boards info in order for the technician to see if it's possible. fingers crossed.
Chip: Nvidia NF200 - SLI - A3
I guess this one should be good then:

Thoughts? If I can get this to work then by science i found out the problem and the solution thanks to you guys! I hope I can get it to work 100% Then I'll be posting the updates!

Let us know how it goes once you get them replaced.

UPDATE: The company that solders chips got in touch with me and gave the green light. They don't have experience with the board itself (they usely do mac mobo's) but are willing to give it a try (for free) if i come over with the board and chips. So I just ordered 4! And now we wait
