Even though you go it through ebay, depending on who the manu is you could possibly see about RMA'ing it cause they did get their money for it in the initial sale.... I would try, the worst that can happen is that they say no.

 

Other than that, I've never heard of someone just "fixing" a GPU with artifacts on their own, and if they did they must do it (or something similar) for a living. It's dead.

If the guy stated it on the eBay page, he's screwed.

 

Although this could be worth a try if it wasn't stated as for parts or wasn't specified in description.

 

RMA first

Do you know how RMAing works? He bought it from eBay

Yes most companies will still allow you to RMA

I would know...

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.
