Due to an unfortuante jab with the head of a screwdriver it looks like I
have at least one, possibly two broken traces on this GPU card, on the
traces running between the processor and VRAM. Result is corrupted
display output/won't switch into high-resolution modes. The ram is BGA
and the GPU likewise and under a small heat-sink so hard to test
continuity, plus the trace width is very small, looks like perhaps 4 mil:

Any suggestions for mending a break on a trace like this?

1 strand of the wire in a computer cable (RS-232, parallel printer) is small enough for a repair like that. Clean and tin the traces and tack the splint on top. A flux pen can be helpful. I've donee these reapirs on 8 mil traces afer acid samage from leaking 'lytics.
