Hi guys,
I got this Gigabyte Maya II (Radeon 9700 Pro)card which died on me a few days ago.
I stupdily inserted the power plug into the garphics card 1 pin displaced onto the left. (Instead connecting to the full 4 pins, my connector only connected to 3 pins)
When I turned on my machine, black smoke came out and I realised the power wire was burned through, just when its about to burn through the female power socket on the graphics card, I just manged to switch my mains off.
When the smoke cleared off...cough cough
I analysed the damage. The card seem to be intact, no signs of burned components. The power socket seem to be still intact.
When I try to start my machine up with a new power plug plugged into the graphics card, the card's fan is not running. No response on my monitor.
Is my card dead?
What should I do? Bin?
Your help would be appreciated thanks!
