Hi all,

Recently moved house and my 7970 stopped working. Fortunately I had two, so I'm not completely lost. I sent it to Sapphire on the off chance it wasn't broken.

Here's the damage they found:



Clearly it got damaged while moving which I accept, but I was wondering is this something that nothing can be done about? I'd be willing to pay to have it repaired or perhaps fix it myself. If not, I guess I'll see how the 800 series cards are, haha.

Cheers.

Well physical damage is apparent. Do't do anything on your own. Send it to service shop of the manufacturer for repair work. Ask them if it is beyond repair or elsewise.

Ok it's actually still with their RMA center, so I've emailed them asking. Hopefully it's good news, but I'm not expecting it.
