Hi there, I have a 4870x2 given to me to try and fix but not had much luck with it, basically about 5 times it has come on and booted to windows but the other 126 times it does not, it has one of the leds lit up on the back of the card when it doesn't come on (which is most of the time).

I tried a few things, changing the thermal paste, cleaned it, making sure the contacts are secure properly, I tried to sweet talk it a few times, then I remember cursing it a couple of times too. I even tried to give it some money but its not playing ball
:banghead:

The cooler is missing a fan, but it was like that when it was given, and the back of the card has a few marks on it near the edge of the pcb.

£14 inc delivery

you could salvage it for parts, use it as a door stopper or try and fix it, in that case you owe me big time!!!

its just the card on its own

and no givesy backsies / refunds lol

That is pretty poop PD.

Not even super packaging makes up for that.


There's a certain forum etiquette that if someone calls shotgun/dibs they get the first call.

Hopefully you just did'nt know eh: ]

I didn't agree anything, you never confirmed you definitely wanted it in the hour and a half or even maybe longer had'nt i posted, you just put a dibs on it which means nowt tbh

most other forums I frequent dibs is banned, I went with the 1st member who said they definitely wanted it, also it probably wont matter but the other member pm'd me at the same exact time as InTeL-iNsIdE

Good, now I won't have to worry about the moral implications of a colloquialism being spelt in a different manner.

The world is safe again.

Anyway, you got any more bits and bobs to sell per chance? : ]
