If its blown?
I doubt it! If you could im sure it will be very expensive as well, so you might as well buy a new 1. :P

lol if your card is blown, I dont think it can be fixed.

How did you blow it? Too much heat? In this case - There is no fixing.

you could replace all the caps. I know some one who did that to a 5200 and it worked.

but if the GPU is gone down then use it as a paper weight.
What I type has nothing to do with the people that employ me.

I'm sure you could get a better paper weight than that! I'd be embarrassed! :D
