The output flickers from time to time. Probably gonna sell it for parts though.

you could carefully clean out the port, check it for any signs of cracking on the solder, definitely try a different cable if you haven't already.

I have an RX 570 that I used to use and worked perfectly fine. I then stopped using due to it's massive power consumption and inefficiency. Because I wasn't using it, I decided to replace the thermal paste on the card. I have done this before, but on a gtx 750 ti. When I was inspecting it to make sure it's all good to sell it online, I realized that one of the display outputs were kind of broken. The output which I had connected the monitor to was the DVI port and it kept flashing from time to time. Is there any way I can fix this issue with possibly reconnecting something or re soldering something? And also, how difficult would this be?

broken how? kind of hard to say if its fixable. also, fyi, never replace the thermal paste on a card to sell. i would never touch a used card that has been opened.

Thank you! Turns out the port has a bit of dirt inside of it and it now works fine. Thank you!
