Question A light skrew driver strike & No display!

[Idris9274]

Hello Guys,
With All Due Respect

I have an "Sapphire HD 6670 1 GB " GPU ; I was trying to take the CMOS Battery from the Motherboard using a skrewdriver and all of a sudden it had an strike to the bottom (Board) of the GPU and now it is not giving me the screen at all!

What do you suggest please ?

Should I take it to a repair center (since there is not anyone in my town) or you have any trick to make it work again?

I will be looking forward for your helping please!

All the Best

Could you take a picture of the area the screwdriver hit? It probably won't be good news, but no way to know if we can't see what exactly got damaged.

If it suddendly showed a spark or something related could be a short. You can test test the card to find a short circuit by yourself if you have a multimeter and enough basic skills I guess

I presume the PC is off if he's taking out the cmos battery.

I don't see any obvious damage, but hard to tell exactly, the card is dirty and the pictures are pretty blurry. I would take a dry toothbrush and clean up all the components on the back while looking out for a broken solder, scratches in a trace, or the like.

I think the same, it's better to clean the card first and then look into a deeper inspection.
