I picked up a broken GPU from my friend (a sapphire R9 390x 8GB) and I'm trying to fix it and keep it for myself since GPUs are so expensive.
So I did the usual "fixing". I cleaned it with WD-40 and alcohol and let it dry off. Then put it back together and verified that the fan header is connected. Popped it into my only PCI slot in the motherboard and... no signal, the fans are not spinning and even the windows device manager is not detecting it...
My friend said that it has a problem with the "power" but I don't even know if that's the case. Is there anything I can do to diagnose/fix this GPU?
Specs:
CPU - Ryzen 5 4650G (with integrated GPU)
MB - MSI B450 PRO-VDH-MAX
RAM - 16 GB TeamGroup Zeus 3200MHz (2x8GB)
PSU UDEA X 600W PSU
