Cut internal sli bridge in 9800 gx2

[OverShocked]

So when i was repasting my 9800gx2's for the 5th or 6th time, i thought it would be time to cut the tape pads that they used to glue it down. These tape pads make it so much harder to repaste the cards, so i cut them off on one card, then went to the next.

On the second card i cut one of the internal sli bridges by accident. I know that i could soldera wire going from one side to the other... the problem is that i cut about 4 leads in, so it will be extremely hard to solder.

I contacted XFX product support to try to get a new one...Unfortunatly they only have support by an email like system, so it is much harder to get what you need. After much time trying i still dont have an sli bridge in my hands, and the XFX employee said this:

We unfortunately dont stock that part since its not a part that is prone to failure. - Erik
we wouldn`t be able to get something like that -Daniel

At this point im not real sure what to do because it seems that i cant get a new one.

Do you guys have any ideas?

Have you checked Ebay for burnt cards or spare parts?

Yeah....they are expensive though...most run about $60.
