PS3 CECHC04 - missing chips on RSX

So I got my hands on a CECHC04 with YLOD, and I tried to fix it with with the tantalum method. I removed the NEC/Tokins, soldered in the tantalums and assembled the console back together. So far so good. I tried to power the PS3 on but it still gave me a YLOD, so I had to further investigate. I delided the RSX and the Cell, well the RSX went off so easy, I'm pretty sure it was already delidded before. And I'm sure that's the reason for the YLOD, because I found 2 small chips on the RSX are missing, the ones seen in the picture. My question now is: Can I save this RSX or do I need to exchange it? Can I just buy this small chips and solder them back on? And could somebody maybe tell me what these chips are and where to get them?
Sorry for my english, it's not my native language.

You would have to resolder these missing components. I also accidentically crushed a cap like this last week while trying to remove a NEC TOKIN. I sliped into one of these tiny caps and broke it of, but i managed to resolder it under my usb microscope and it still works. Find a nother completly dead and destroyed unit with same board on ebay or so and try to remove them there and put them back to yours. some times you find some mainboard only auctions a donor. I personally guess all ps3 models with same chip size (90nm in this case I think) should have the same rsx chip as a matching donor)
