Dead gpu GTX 760 (DOA) - how to revive

[Konrad_1983]

Just got my dead gtx 760. Yes I bought a dead gpu.
The card does not give signal on DVI or DP. MB gives 1 beap.
System starts up (win 7 startup sound).
Integratet gpu is ok, the card is not shown in device menager, nor in MSI Afterburner.

So what options do i have?
Bake the card?

This is for ppl in the future to know what to do.
P.S. Oven will be the last option.

GTX 760 Asus OEM (GTX760-2GD57DP_CARD Rev.1.1) Clean, new paste, no visible damage on PCB.
ASrock H270m pro4
Other stuff is rather irrelevant.

How good are you with a multimeter?

If it's not detecting at all, then I wouldn't consider it being worth it personally.

That is my point. What can someone like me do, and is it worth the time. Card was about $23 with delivery.

Why did you buy this, exactly?

 

If your motherboard's not picking up the card at all, the odds of damage to the GPU itself are good. Baking a GPU might fix the problem for a couple of weeks (if it's a solder issue), but it will wreck your oven and potentially turn your house into a hazmat site. Not worth it.

To be a hero and revive a dead GPU. And not all dead GPUs are really dead, I took a chance.
Instead of baking i could try solder individual spots
And its always something to do at night due to insomnia.

$23 is a fair price for an insomnia reliever, I'll give you that. In that case, I'd tear the whole thing down (take pictures as you go so you can put it back together), thoroughly clean it then scour it for damage and see what comes up. If there's absolutely no visible burning, scarring, scraping, that sort of stuff, it's possible that a solder issue is stopping it from working. Not necessarily likely, but possible.

I have gtx 670 that ''died'' It will show on device manager, with error 43. Same on another computer. Older drivers or newer drivers won't work. It tried running once and it gave some graphical glitch and crashed. Everything was fine before it suddenly died. The fans will spin etc.

Flash card Bios, clean drivers (uninstal to the last reg entry) install secon newest, then newest drivers. Should help.

Found the dmg part...
Does anyone know if its a resistor ? Dont heve multimeter @ hand ... 1 of 3 is missing... Will solderring a piece of cooper work?

[Konrad_1983]

Nevermind... the whole PCB is dropping parts like crazy...
Will have spare parts just in case

[LOST TALE]

how would flashing the card bios help if the bios has worked fine 6 years?

[Konrad_1983]

Cos Nvidia... Dont ask me how it works, its just the most common solution.
