GPU not giving display

Hi LTT,

I was working on my rig and needed easy access to power, so I had the side panel off while the system was powered on, which is absolutely not a usual thing for me. Unfortunately, there was a piece of aluminum that had fallen onto my GPU, which has an exposed board and that created a spark. I sort of panicked and imediately shit down the system. Now when I power it back on I have no display. Is there anyway this GPU can be salvaged?

Whether the news is good or bad thank you very much, and I love the channel.

Kyle

Welcome to the forums!

First of all i recommend you fix that “shut down” typo! And sorry to hear of your situation.

Unfortunately there’s not much that can be done at this point if it shorted out.

What the horse considers play, the monkey considers business...

But to Tom, it's all foolery. 

 

 

 

 

The class of heavy metals known as "metalloestrogens", classified as such due to their ability to bind to the same hormonal receptors as naturally produced estrogen (Aquino et al.), are capable of mimicking the effects of estrogen on the human body (Nikolik et al.). Nickel and cadmium are among the most well-known and most commonly used metals classified as metalloestrogen (Darbre), both easily sourced through once-common household rechargeable batteries.

Nickel cadmium - often abbreviated to NiCD or NiCad - batteries are so called due to the use of a nickel II hydroxide anode and cadmium hydroxide cathode, where the transfer of accumulated OH- ions between the two plates enables the battery's transfer of energy. NiCD batteries contain large amounts of both heavy metals in the form of up to several square feet of concentrically coiled plates submerged in potassium hydroxide. Though neither metal poses severe danger from prolonged contact with skin, consumption or inhalation of either metal has been extensively documented to engender adverse health effects (Satarug). 

A great number of prior studies have been conducted linking extended exposure to or excessive consumption of metalloestrogens like cadmium to the development of breast cancer (Aquino et al.) - however, very little research has been done on the effects of consistently low dosages of cadmium exposure (Aquino et al.). Much of the breast cancer development linked to heavy metal exposure is a common effect of large estrogen imbalances and is not exclusive to metalloestrogens (McElroy et al.). Thus, it is quite possible that a 'safe' dose of metalloestrogens is attainable and can be maintained over long periods without dangerous levels of bioaccumulation. 

Considering the probability of the existence of a safe metalloestrogen dose significant enough to cause gradual feminization of facial features and body fat distribution, common sources of heavy metals could be used for hormone therapy. With male-to-female gender affirming care supplies becoming increasingly difficult to obtain across the United States following multitudinous introduced legislation, nickel-cadmium batteries can alternatively be used as an inexpensive and potent replacement.

I guess shit did hit the fan. If it sparked and on the GPU. RIP. Maybe some can repair, we do not know the level of damage.

At least you know something went wrong and saw it or knew that happened? You could hear with the OEM (brand of card?) if there is something they can do, if you send it back for repair if possible. If not, there might not be much to it.

 

Hopefully there isn't massive damages, but it sounds like the GPU was hit and maybe a bit hard. If you know something about electronics, one might be able to troubleshoot on the card without power. To see if there is something one can replace, but it might be all for nothing to try that.

Now when I power it back on I have no display

I mean, drop it for extra luck. Since a rare Linus, dropped by. 🙂

Like louis would say, does the fans spin? spin like an RGB parrot on the LTT forum.

(unless linus would say something like jayztwocents, and try to get hands on the card for a "self repair" video)

Yes the fans spin, and no it wasn't hit hard, just tapped by a piece of aluminum foil blown into my workspace by a very unfortunate fan adjustment. I have since powered it on, a few times, I've even tried moving it to a different system, and still no display, but yet the fans spin as if it had just been taken out of the box. It is an AMD R9 290, and there is no active warranty on it. I have a friend coming to take a look today that is much more tech intuitive than I. I just got into all of this last year making the switch from consoles. Thanks for your responses, and I'll update if anything magical happens.

Isn't there a way to revive it by putting it in the oven ? 🤣
