Hi
I recently was having proxmox server issues, and had to ‘borrow’ my gpu from my desktop. The gpu is a Radeon Pro wx3100
Somehow by doing that , the GPU has no output (Either machine)
I was wondering if anyone had any potential ideas about bringing it back to life ?
Necromancy would work!
So you said you borrowed the GPU from your desktop(was it working there when taken out) and what happens if you put it back into the desktop?
Computer seems to boot - No display
Same on the server now, too
No obvious signs of damage
Try unplugging the machine or even both of them if you can from the power cable and even the monitors as well. Click the power button while unplugged a few times on the computer and monitor to clean out the power.
Try again
I tried that including clearing the CMOS (Removed battery)
Is there anything I can be doing on the card side?
Does it boot into safe mode?
The machines boot normally - I am on my main desktop now, with another nvidia card instead
Oh jeeze hmm can you send a pic of the card in certain parts to see if you missed anything
Long shot! I was more thinking - Is there anything that can be reset on the card? Soak it in alcohol etc lol
Alcohol will just make it go to sleep and we don’t want that lol
Any capacitors you can see that went bad?
I would leave it out for awhile and really let it drain for awhile and try to again. If you are adept in trying you can take it apart and really take a look at it.
If not sometimes a card or part will continue to work but once removed or powered down they stop
I don’t see it on the picture, but does it have a BIOS switch? Any chance you disturbed it? If not, you could try hot air station to reflow. Use a lot of flux. There is a chance that while manipulating the card in the PCIE sockets you bent it slightly and old solder cracked somewhere.
I had it apart, before and didn’t see any button. Didn’t see any damage under the air shroud, either.
I don’t have a hot air gun - I may be able to borrow one. Anything is worth a go, now! Maybe the old kitchen oven trick! haha
Can you boot from the working GPU with the AMD card in another slot and see if you can see/access the “dead” one in the OS?
Apologies; just getting round to this.
It still boots into nvidia and lspci doesn’t show any AMD card
