Hi all,
I had this card given to me after the original owner (my brother-in-law) had a similar issue as a number of others, updated drivers/bios, had gfx errors & now won't post & monitor reading No Display.
After testing in my own rig & another I'm currently putting together, I saw exactly the same result each time. Both rigs are more than capable of running this card.
After doing some reading, I came across many posts about very similar issues.
I have since tried: switching between the bios's, flashing a new bios (atiflash 2.93, only attempted in windows/cmd line while in windows, it didnt even register there was a card there!).
When powered up, there is a steady blue led, whichi am assuming means power is good.
After reading some posts here, I thought I should probably strip the card down and post pics along with this post. When I removed the backplate, I noticed some dust spots (from the holes in the plate) which was unsurprising, however, there were some darker spots, kinda like the were wet/damp. Upon removing the heatsink/fans, I discovered actual liquid (not sure exactly what tbh)
I swabbed as much as I could with a cotton bud, but haven't gone any further as yet (it was getting late)
The Culprit: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/xfx-rs-rx-570-xxx.b4485
Main Rig:
Mb- gigabyte b550 aorus elite v2
Cpu: Ryzen 7 5600x
Mem: corsair ddr4 3200 cl16
Pwr: 700w (can't remember make/model atm as its in a concealed compartment)
Ssd- kind of irrelevant with current issue, however: 2x 1tb gigabyte sod's
Gfx: Nvidia GTX 1660 & nvidia gtx 1050 (1050 is used mainly as emergency gfx & for phys-x)
Will post pics in a reply (have to change the format apparently)
Can anyone suggest how to fix? Or tell me if it not possible?
Thanks in advance.

Pic 2 & 3: the "wet" chips (the green insulating pad which is on fan/heatsink was sitting on the wet chips)
