GPU not working after cleaning!

[aniskhan001]

Hello everyone!

I'm suffering from a strange problem and I need some help from you guys.
I just opened the chassis and disassemble the graphics card (XFX GTX 460) from my PC. I cleaned it with a blower and then assembled again. And now it's not working anymore. I'm getting no display when the monitor cable is plugged into the card. But the strange thing is the built-in IGP is showing display when I plugged the monitor cable into it, even the card is still present!
Please help me to solve this. Thanks in advance.

My current system is--
* GIGABYTE H55M-USB3
* Core i3 530 @ 2.93GHz
* 1x4GB DDR3 @ 1333MHz
* Samsung Spinpoint F3 7200RPM
* and the graphics.. XFX GeFORCE GTX 460 1GB GDDR5

At most cases, the IGP is only activated if an external video card is not connected. It seems your mobo isn't recognizing your gpu anymore but it's worth a check in BIOS settings.

You can try to insert the gpu in another slot or another machine. In the last case, it can indicate a faulty card.

Did you plug both power connectors back into the GPU?

I tried connecting this with one of my brothers PC. Same happened!

Yes, plugged in.

If it fails to work on two PCs I'm thinking you fried the card, either knocking something loose or static discharge from the blower (that's why compressed air in a can is preferred).

Can it be repaired if I go to the any repair center? Thanks!

Have to ask the local shop. But, given that the 460 is now three series old it may be time to look at a new card (since your whole system is older, could get like a radeon 7770 for cheap).

Ok if its fried ive got this crazy idea it might work for you cause it worked for me. Try baking your card in the oven : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmzGnjJNZrM follow this video and it hope fully should work

Hilarious. But I've sent my card to doctor already.

I actually did that to a 8800GTX three times to keep it alive for a year. Having done, that tho, I still recommend a new card as soon as you can if the shop can't fix it.
