This is my first time posting EVER so not even sure what im doing. Bought a EVGA GTX 970 SSC off ebay "AS IS/NOT WORKING" because seller said it had a bad capacitor. I figured no big deal, should be an easy fix. Turns out that the card isn't even an ssc card, but an SSC wanna-be (BestBuy FTW) witch really had me mad! As if that wasn't enough, turns out that the problem wasn't even a bad capacitor, but several chips on the PCB instead.... one on top of board and one one bottom of board as seen in pic's. If someone could PLEASE tell me what these are 'specifically', and where to buy replacement's, would really help me out A LOT.
 

 

 
 

How do i get my pic's to show? Tried the "Attach Images" but apparently didn't work.

In order to start posting images and links you'll need another 12 or so valid (non spam) posts. This criteria was decided upon by EVGA to help reduce spam.

Not being able to post pic suck's. Hard to get someone's help if you can't "show" them what it is you need help with. And yes i knew i was buying a non-working card and was cool with that.... just was told it was a capacitor when it wasn't, and was expecting it to be the cooper-piped heat-sink not the alum. But it's all good if i could just find out what the parts are and where to get them. Hard when i can't post pic's.

Thank you Sajin for your help. However, i do have a question concerning the Mosfet. There are two rows of letter's/#'s on it: Top-4C10N  Bottom- RBB3Q.  Do those on the bottom not matter? Also, the bad one on back side of card kinda look like those as well and there are two side by side.... any idea's what those are?

Silly question, but did you plug the serial number in on EVGA's Guest RMA webpage? There's a chance it may still be under warranty depending on when it was manufactured: https://www.evga.com/support/guestregister.asp

Get a refund from the seller. He said 'it was a bad cap' when it was not.
And it is not the model he said it was, get a refund and buy a good GPU.
You may replace the chips and they may go bad again when you put power to it.
Not knowing why they blew in the first place.

find another like bad card and hope the parts are good in it to be swapped out  or good parts in the one you got to go in it

may look at reviews and see if something like a gtx ???  has the same parts you need ??
 
lok over reviews of cheaper to get used cards  with the coolers off to view the pcb?
 
[here on page 5 for a example ]
https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/EVGA/GTX_760_SC_ACX_Cooler/5.html
 
may get lucky

well  ? find another 25 buck e-bay deal??  to be honest  if you spent over 25 on that first card  with free shipping  was a bad deal from the get go  .   maybe to me if I got the card fior free to goof around with them kind of repairs maybe worth it then.   I'm not out nothing but time  , just a shrug shoulders , chunk back in my junk box for a rainy day if one was to come up and I need parts off it   like the cooler or the fans for something .  
 
maybe next time have the guy pull the cooler off and take pic's   of the pcb ???
 
 
I see you replied to that guy looking for a bad card . maybe you 2 can hook up and work something out on that deal ?

Sorry havnt been on here for a minute but been busy with some things. Anyway, bought another 970 (FTW) to use to fix the other one. Turns out the card is in way better condition than my original lol. Looked it over with magnifier on both top and bottom of pcb and can not find one thing wrong "Physically". Fans however run full speed as soon as i turn pc on and it will not boot which leads me to think it is Bricked. If anyone out there Can give me some idea of what to do to fix this i would be very grateful.

Could you post a photo of your board really close so I can read your chip numbers? Or can you tell me what chip number is in location Q22 .... (next too row of R22's)

Are you kidding me? There should be a product recall for defective design. That's exactly what mine looked like.
 

I'm sure EVGA would know, but would likely not tell us.
