in these photos below you can just about see it. Basically theres two tiny resistors that was knocked off, (were they loose to begin with maybe?) After my tourettes went dumb and i pushed something onto it. It sucks, but i did get a new GPU covered my my home supplies insuranse, so its been replaced.
So, working computer, but after trying to see if this GPU could possibly still have a chance to be fixed studying every detail intensely ive only found 2 missing resistors, of the im assuming same exact kind.
Computer and GPU was powered off and drained of power when this happen, i will study intensely again to look for possible shorts, but if all looks good, where can i find out what resistors these are? (possibly mini caps? I dont know, just calling them what they look like.)
I have access to people with the soldering equipment needed to fix, so that bit wont be an issue.
And, i tried figuring out where these connections come from and went to, really hard cause havent seen the other side of it yet, but could i run this GPU in a different computer? With limitations of course, but if these help power stuff like temp sensors, or the fans thats an easy work around. So asking if thats possible. If i could try.
You might say it wont. But is there ANY risk whatsoever, if ive made sure theres no shorts anywhere, could it damage the computer, or just make it worse for thw GPU i already got replaced?
This first photo was taken before i managed to loose one of the two resistors into my couch. The other is after.
the bigger picture, you see the HP sticker, so you can see where it is.

This is quite easy to do and I lost a resistor a the top of one of my NVidia P102-100 boards. Probably when I picked it up improperly. Small resistors are difficult to solder, easier to use a tiny drop of silver ink adhesive to hold the new one in place. I have not repaired it yet and have had bad luck repairing even with a de-soldering station.
Premium graphic boards have a backplate that serves as a PCB stiffener and also prevent accidental damage to surfaced components.
I recommend you post a picture over at the TechPowerUp forum and get advice on what type of resistor to replace. It might even be a capacitor.
[edit] Just looked at your keyboard. Is that an Aukey RGB gaming keyboard?
