Broken component on my Radeon 9800 Pro

Try to order it from https://www.mouser.com/ (not as a sample though)

I´ve found a way!

My cousin is studying at Northwerstern University, so I edited my profile to his address, where Farichild can ship the samples...

I´ve requested 2 pieces of the FDS6912A...

As soon as I receive the damn parts, I´ll drop my Radeon and the IC at a local electronic repair shop for soldering the good IC.

My abilities in soldering doesn´t include SMD components...

I´ve ruined a friend´s XBOX when trying to solder a wire to the damn D0... hehehe

Thanks everybody for the helping tips!

Wow. It's great that you guys are able to do the repair for not much $! But it's frightening how easy it seems to break off by accident. I have installed the same card in a friend's computer a few months back, and this could have easily happened to me... :?

I didn't know cooling the adhesive would make it more brittle, which should've been obvious.

Thanks for the tip!

*stalks over to his burned out Radeon 7000, which stopped working after about 4 months for no apparent reason*
