Gigabyte 3080 OC 10gb suffered sagging, no output now, bent PCB
Hi all, I have a Gigabyte 3080 OC that I bought from a customer of mine. Didn't realize how badly bent it was. I've had to use a block of wood to keep it propped up to display out. When the connection isn't right it'll prevent my accessories from powering on so I always watch my mouse or mic to know when I've angled it successfully to boot lol
I decided to try Nvidia MATS to see what was wrong and even scanned the board under a scope to check for any board cracks but saw none (not that doesn't mean there's none) and decided to use a mining riser. Well let's just say it exploded a capacitor when I powered my system on. Mats didn't work even once I managed to get the igpu to post as it failed to see the card and I never could get it to post via the GPU since last night.
It's not the PCIe slot as I've tested multiple boards. Only displays when the right amount of upward force is applied lol
I'm going to check for shorts on 12v and I do have a scope, forgive me if I'll be shunned for not doing voltage / resistance checks ahead of time. Haven't fooled with GPUs until this one so any advice or suggestions is very welcome.
If more is needed let me know and I'll update asap.
