Hi 
!
I'd like to perform a permanent repair on this problematic video card.
But to avoid having to start over in a few months or years
, I'd like to create a PCB reinforcement system.
The problem is that I have no knowledge of 3D modeling.
However, I'd like to ask for help from forum members who might have this type of knowledge.
This might help those who own the Konami Cobra System, which is lurking in the shadows
I know it's a bit of a complicated project, but I think my idea is worth it.
The idea would be to make a rigid metal frame based on slides, to force the PCB contours to be straightened.
For the bottom of the PCB, a grid system would be required with pads resting under the 8 chip locations (there are empty spaces without nearby components).
The most efficient and logical solution would be to remove the 8 chips from the PCB and install the metal frame system before reballing to avoid further mechanical stress due to heat.
Of course, the contact between the PCB and the metal frame system and the pads will need to be insulated with insulating tape.
I made a drawing on the photo, it's just an abstract representation
Tell me what you think.
