| 1392014 | 2015-01-13 05:12:00 | I have a faulty, out of warranty AMD Radeon 6870 graphics card. I think I might have shorted something on it, but anyway, every time I plug it into my PC case the PC won't even start. Once I remove it the PC will boot up fine using an identical 6870 card. Does anyone know of a good NZ graphics card repairer I could try? |

I think I might have shorted something on it, but anyway, every time I plug it into my PC case the PC won't even start. Could be something simple like a shorted MOSFET in the card's voltage regulator circuit. |
