Hi all-I want to know,can a person fix GFX cards when they are blown-like it will not start up. they r not in warrenty.

If its blown?
I doubt it! If you could im sure it will be very expensive as well, so you might as well buy a new 1.

lol if your card is blown, I dont think it can be fixed.

How did you blow it? Too much heat? In this case - There is no fixing.

Someone I know has 2 GF7900GTX and 2 ATI 512MB that is blown probberly from OC too far.

you could replace all the caps. I know some one who did that to a 5200 and it worked.

but if the GPU is gone down then use it as a paper weight.

I'm sure you could get a better paper weight than that! I'd be embarrassed!
