So i got this graphics card in order to try and fix it.
I plugged it into my personal computer just so to see how it would react and poof i saw alot of smoke come out ... luckly it didnt damage anything in my system.
Next i took it apart and started taking off some mosfets, 2 mosfets shorted other 2 were fine with a resistance across them around 350 ohms in diode mode , which i think is perfectly fine.
Now , my stupidity comes in , and i dont check for more shorts on the 12v psu connecter ,needless to say i plug it in again , just to see if i got rid of the short , and for the first time in my life i saw flames come out of the computer case. Luckly again , it didnt damage anything in my system. I took it out and i found that the 8pin connecter is shorted with 2 ohms across ground , the 6 pin connecter is shorted with 38 ohms , which i dont know if thats normal or not...
I took off some caps to see if they were shorted , but no , they were fine.
So now im looking for some pointers , what do you guys suggest i take a look at ... quite a few ceramic capacitors are showing as complete short (around the connecter site) , should i just start taking things off?
Oh and by the way , quite a dramatic crater was created where that mosfet exploded... So any suggestions? Here are some pictures.[/IMG][/IMG]
So thats where im at.
