That's a bummer, but you're an honest dude to your buyers and you thoroughly check and inspect what you flip. Having a good reputation for being honest is priceless. When we get hit with setbacks like that it's a learning experience that'll cost a few bucks but can be replaced unlike an honest seller rep. I got to construct a test setup like you have there. Thanks for sharing your experience, this channel is a valuable learning tool for me
1:09 "is definitely no bueno" 😂
Go a little above the cheapest you can find.
I found out on my own skin that those who sell the cheapest usually sell non-working items.
0:33 I hear you man, I kept buying a lot of old tech and basically eBay is addicting for getting older tech
even newer tech is cheaper than most places. Picked up used MSI Z690-A Wifi DDR4 for $86 dollar auction works perfect even came with all accessories.
Really is.
I maybe would have tried spraying down the entire slot connector, especially those caked up resistors (capacitors?) above the contacts, with some brake parts cleaner. It dries so quickly that it would leave no evidence, except some very clean contacts. Maybe the soda was shorting out those resistors? Even some rubbing alcohol and a small paint brush across the resistor bank might do.
I was torn on how far to go since the seller lied about it working
I think he didn't check the prefill description
Gotta try the brake cleaner. 8)
@@elmerduncan4932 It's good stuff! Just be sure to spray it outside or it can make you sick! I should know.....🙄
Also, give it some time to dry thoroughly as there will probably be a lot of condensation on the parts because the spray is extremely cold out of the can and be careful around some plastic parts just in case. Happy New Year by the way! 👍👍
Don't forget to leave a negative review, to help the rest of us.
Trust me I did!
I picked up a rusty Sapphire RX 470 mining card for 35 USD last year with it being untested. No rust/corrosion or liquid spill on the PCB itself which let me know it was likely kept in a poorly climate controlled environment. Only thing functionally wrong was one bad vBIOS chip, the other three vBIOS chips worked and I flashed the Sapphire Gaming RX 470, 570, and 580 vBIOS on them.
Got it running at 1411MHz on the core and 1750MHz on the memory, it likes masochism I guess! 🤣
Bummer. At least with eBay now-a-days, it's pretty easy to get your money back and sellers know that so they usually just comply without hesitation to avoid bad feedback. Good luck in your next try!
was looking into some Ebay GPU's but Lucky my Spidy Scense say Noooo but like the Title Reads it's a "Gamble" if ur willing to take...
I think I ended up buying this same card after you sent it back, I received it exactly like it is in the video but in a different box but still in the cyberpower bag. I cleaned it thoroughly with alcohol and distilled water and it does post now but it has artifacting from the A memory modules and needs to be repaired but that's not something I can do.
I paid $28 all together for the card.
O wow, def half I did not try mess it it since I paid more
The solution is to try to fix it
I wanted to but since the seller was not honest about it working I just wanted money back
@@DLMtechgarage the right way to do
That's pretty typical with buying a used GPU from someone you don't know - flip a coin.
Not quite.
The RX - it's probably was mine on...
@@KohaiJr Do you happen to have some AGP cards???
this is literally a mining card that they would shower with water to dust off in china warehouses lol
🤣🤣
Wanted to buy one of these ($149.99 at BB) for a TG01, but they seem to be be 10” plus. I’m not sure that it would fit in the case.
I had the same problem with my Sapphire Nitro+ RX580. I got a riser cable and 3D printed some stands to mount it outside the case, but I think that I may eventually just mod the case to make it fit...maybe. 🤔
A good seller would clean the card and it might've worked. A bad seller would sell it filthy to deny refund if the one who buys it should attempt to clean it. Hope the next guy who gets it won't do it.
That's a good point! 👍👍
It is a risk sometimes
0:35 I also need to attend this help group.
7:17 Code 43 is typically busted GPU, I’m surprised you got the driver to install like you said. It may or may not be related to the soda spilt on it but it’s likely that the GPU on the card is dead. The only solutions I can come up with are cleaning the card in an ultrasonic cleaner then if that doesn’t work reflowing the GPU chip.
Lol.... It's a rough addiction... Pockets go empty quick lol
I wanted to clean it but since the seller lied I just wanted my money back
@@DLMtechgarage Being on a tight budget honestly makes it even more fun
Hyped for the next video man, you have the kind of content that big tech UA-camrs can’t replicate.
@@HairyScrambler much appreciated!!
Did you try all the video outputs my wife has an rx 580 with a displayport that dosn't like most monitors.
I did. Forgot to mention it
hi you need to run atikmdag-patcher-1.4.14 to fix the card and probably it was a mining card
and if you want to sell it i will buy from you
Wish I knew this before I sent it back. Thanks for the info
why do people sell broken stuff as working?
Prbly cause they don't know ebays return policy
I'll look for a group of eBay shoppers with an addiction ROFL
It's worse then the Amazon addiction lol
@@DLMtechgarage ohhh that bad better hurry up and find a group for you ROFL
@@catherinemorgan2741 lol..
I'm still using i7 8700. Can it last for years while just upgrading GPU?
I still run them and have no issues. just depend on the games and what you are trying to do with them.
should I purchase 1080ti from local gamer in good condition? can it last for next couple years without upgrade gpu?
If it works and the price is good then yes. It is still a solid card with some good years left in it
Get the refund.
But first - talk to seller.
Ok.
Posted before the end cleared the refund resived.
But - do you have to ship it back???
And, about that warranty sticker- if it's under warranty,try to talk to support of this card's maker, maybe you would be able to claim that warranty!!!
Anyway,keyus posted.
I did have to ship it back. Made sure the seller had free returns shipping
@@DLMtechgarage
Good.
Crypto bros strike again.
i put bacteria on this chip die and had it work the inside and other things NITRO in order to get 99% chip working at 99% thermal accuracy we needed nano chip workers
No offense meant but you really overuse the word "whole".
Yea I need to work on that
:)
Did You try to update the driver when You noticed the Yield sign in Control panel?
I did
