Hi everybody, this is my first post . I need a little help from all of you.
 
My big or little problem is that I broke the PCI pinout connector from the pcb... the first one with 11 pins each side before the notch . I want to soldering it back, I downloaded from internet the universal PCIe schematics but I think I have a shortcut because the ground and the +3.3v line have continuity.
In another post I readed that it’s not necessary to reconnect all the pins because the new generation of graphics cards don’t really use the power from the PCIe but from the power supply, I just need to resoldering some data pins.
Could anybody send me a schematic of the PCIe connectors of this graphic card to soldering it and repair it correctly or just tell me if the ground and the +3.3v line really have continuity and which pins are really necessary to solder?
 
This is what I found on the internet:
Side B                             Side A
1           +12V                  PRSNT Hot plug presence detect
2           +12V                  +12V
3           +12V                  +12V
4           GND                   GND
5           SMBus clock        JTAG2 / TCK
6           SMBus Data        JTAG3 / TDI
7           GND                   JTAG4 / TDO
8           +3.3V                 JTAG5 / TMS
9           JTAG1 /+TRST     +3.3V
10         +3.3V                 +3.3V
11         Wake                   PWRGood
 
I will really appreciate it.
Sincerely.

    I don't think that is fixable.
    Broken fiberglass PCB plus gold trace fingers severed.
    Soldering alone is not going to fix it.

    Please send a post a picture of the issue.

    Well hate to say it but that card just well be trashed, theres no gpu surgeon around gonna revive that patient. I wouldn't even attempt to try and repair that and then put it in a motherboard, chances are you could then short out the motherboard. Take your loss, cry and give it a toss.

    Sorry that your first post was about a $1200+ card that's broke and isn't repairable. 
     
    I'm wondering if the mobo PCIe slot contacts aren't hosed too.

    I don’t think the best solder master in the world would be able to fix this. Unfortunately, there is FAR too much damage.

    As sparetimepc mentioned above, I would be curious if the motherboard is damaged as well.

    May I inquire as to how this happened, since there is solder bits sprayed all over the board?

    Ouch ...dang thats ugly. 
     
    There has to be a story behind that ....... I also would like to see that story
     
    Multi layer PCB are not really repairable ... with home tools
     
    The only thing close to a positive is damaged GPU seem to sell, for more than one might expect on sites like eBay
     
    You would need a donor PCB ... or have the ability to cobble two damaged GPU into 1 working GPU
     
    If your the original owner --> ask EVGA directly if they can help you in any way .... no guarantees; but, it cant hurt to ask

    What a pity….
    The pieces look like this after polishing the damaged edges and putting tin on the contacts.
    I was hoping to have to solder just a couple of pins, only Data and 3.3 Volts and isolate the copper layers from PCB with some epoxy glue. 
    The real history is that my brother wanted to make a SLI with another MB and he broke the RTX 2080 Ti…. I almost killed him!!!
    My Motherboard is safe because I didn't have the chance to plug it back… Right now, I´m using the integrated graphics from Intel .
    What about to isolate the broken edge and place a PCIe connector from a dummy board and with a wire connect each pin from its source?

    It appears as if he already tried and failed in repairing it. He's got solder and flux all over the place and even on X16 data pins. 
     
    @ vpacillo, I know you want to remain hopeful but it's gone. You simply cannot repair that, the traces are just to fine to reconnect without arcing and shorting over other traces. I don't know what you did to break that off your card but it's done and there is no fixing it. You risk even more damage to the rest of your system by putting that back into your system. Chalk it up as an expensive lesson learned. Sorry but it's dead.

    I'd say your brother owes you $1200 then. 
     
    There is nothing you will be able to do to revive that card. It's beyond repairable with conventional tools. I would not attempt to put that in any PC even with a riser cable as it will still short back to the motherboard and you could kill your motherboard and everything attached to it like your CPU and RAM.

    Apprently his brother had tried it on a different MB and it ended up like this. 
     
    Crazy because I can't imagine the force that was used to do that.

    Vpacillo, would you mind giving us more details as to how this actually happened? I find it hard to believe that an attempt at SLI caused this.

    If it was me.. I'd have to toss the card or sell it fast.. as id be trying to figure out how to fix it constantly.

    My guess would be to use a pci-e riser and permanently attach it to the card and solder all the leds from the pins with wires directly where the power goes to on the board.

    Need a perfect read out on what ea broken pin goes to what.

    Prob when I bought the next same card I'd trace it out. Prob have to buy a used card of the exact one unless it's still being made.

    Me as well, i just don't see how this damage could have happened. But i guess we are looking at the attempted fix not the actual break. My guess is the card was put it at an angle instead of straight into the pcie slot or the card was being removed and was not unlatched all the way and was broken because of forcing to pull the card out without being fully unlocked. Either way i would have just counted my losses immediately and not even thought about trying to fix it.  .

    the motherboard is no doubt made from multi-layer PCB and you have no idea where exactly any hidden layer tracks or traces are connected to what component. Your attempt to fix it has lifted a trace and i see at least one short between 2 traces. It would need a miracle worker to fix it.
