1278200 2012-05-29 06:05:00 I bought a GPU of trademe for my bro. and it has a few corrupted pixels. Trying to get a refund as it was not reported in the auction www.trademe.co.nz the PC running it has a insufficient PSU and I am trying to get a new one for to run better cards. Anyway, what causes these pixels to corrupt??:illogical ChazTheGeek (16619)
1278201 2012-05-29 06:44:00 Need more details, screenshots would be nice.

Sounds more like a duff LCD screen than the video card (had a Viewsonic monitor that had bright pixel problems from time to time). Had to dump my old 7600GS card recently when it caused a corrupted video display with faint blue lines all over the place.

1278202 2012-05-29 07:18:00 Probably has something to do with the insufficient power supply. icow (15313)
1278203 2012-05-29 08:16:00 Maybe, the screen is not faulty because it worked well with the former card which was taken out the same day I put in the 'new' card.
Could be the PSU. The GPU is 5 years old btw. The corrupted pixels flicker on the screen they are blue and white.

1278204 2012-05-29 08:39:00 Do you have a spare monitor or tv you could test it with? stratex5 (16685)
1278205 2012-05-29 08:41:00 Nup. Don't have to any way, could just test the monitor on a different PC, have plenty of those. ChazTheGeek (16619)
1278206 2012-05-29 09:18:00 Yeah, that could work. stratex5 (16685)
1278207 2012-05-29 10:37:00 Trying to get a refund on a $26 card and its reported in the auction as faulty :illogical

Only one D-Dvi link works of the two, S-video out works perfectly .

I'd say you may be tough out of luck, esp if its known and described to have a fault .

Warning bells should have rung when its listed as having that fault . Wouldn't be at all surprised a fault in the card is causing the problem .

1278208 2012-05-29 11:25:00 Dont buy computer components that are listed as faulty because when you get them they tend to not work very well. A friend bought one and just abouy every single capacitor on te board had blown. Slankydudl (16687)
