Help fixing 1070mxm burned

Hi there guys!!

And yeahhh my brand new 1070 mxm card got screwed by my misuse.

Here is the story:

I have a P375SM, after some search around forums (mostly here) and such, i was iching to try the 1070. After some tinkering and help from eurocom support, i got it working but because i did not put some rubber feet to prevent the card from touching the motherboard, (trusted the builtin studs only) well it touched it and got short-circuited.

Tried to send to someone here in Brazil to fix it, but they did an awful job (i think i could do better if i got the hardware).


Right now when i try the card the notebook dosen't give video and beeps like if there's no card installed.

Here is how my card is right now:












I'm looking if there's any place that is trustworthy to send the card from Brazil to wherever it needs to go and if possible get fixed.


Any help is appreciated.

 

How is that even possible?

Sorry but the card literally cannot touch the metal ground, unless you break the card in half. My cards run without backplate and rubberfeet as well in all my clevos, never shorted because that's not even possible. I heard from people that the Gecube cards are fragile and die extremely fast. I suppose you prove it somewhat, thanks for that. I've never seen a card that got damaged this extensive. Normally there are just 1 maybe 2 components which are fried, but the damage on that card is rather extreme.

In terms of where to send. Try rossmangroup, the guy does mainly repair macbooks but I've seen him doing board repairs on graphicscards as well, someone ruined their GTX 1080 ti with a shuntmod and luis fixed it on stream.

 

I have your same exact machine (I installed my own GPU and I didn't use any rubber feet) and I can't understand how can the card touch the motherboard? this is fairly impossible with the two screw studs at WiFi side and the elevation of the socket.

Did you get this idea from Eurocom or did you see your card touching the motherboard?

 

Yeah i saw it, well i was using (playing cs go no OC no nothing) and out of nowhere the computer shuts down and i start to smell the scent of burnt circuit. After that i've taken out the backpanel and nothing on the side away from the mobo... then i go down close to the card smell and the scent is strong then (almost crying) i take out the card to see a black spot in the mother board my luck is that the mobo itself did not got damaged. After that no video and the long beep.

 

Yeah i was thinking about him as well, just need to check with him ( don't know how) if it's possible and if its viable...

 

The card didn't touch the mobo. When these capacitors blow they make a mess everywhere. I am pretty sure the card just smudged the mobo when it blew up and it didn't touch it. Please ask Eurocom for reimbursement.

 

I second this. I honestly think this is more the card blowing up rather than your notebook doing anything wrong.

 

I am getting the feeling that someone is putting the blame on him when there is no way that he is to blame. At least from the PCBs touching perspective. Quite honestly this is one of the cheapest looking PCBs I saw in my life.

 

Hmm i don't know if i could get the value back because i sent it to a 3rd party and they tried to fix it but for my little to no experience they did an awful job.

I was using it without OC or anything different even complained about the performance in the beggining but for about three months and out of nowhere this heapens thats why i think i was my fault :/

Can someone help out i´m kinda lost in what to do any help is appreciated...

 

Yeah you should have consulted eurocom first before sending it off to a third party repair shop that obviously screwed the card up even more judging by all the bridged SMD capacitors

 

Yeah i think so too thats why i don't wanna go this road, i think the fault extends to no one than me (because i'm retarded and didn't think about this before).

 

You can list it for parts on ebay or here and hope to recoup some of your money back. This is a complex repair beyond the realm of most people

 

Yeah the problem is buy expensive $800 and sell as scrap makes me wanna cry lol

 

Can fix the smd components for you (have proper tools), but the damage might extend beneath the top-layer, so can't guarantee it'll run again. One or two smd's still seem to be missing as well, so also need a few good photos of a card from the same batch.

Send a pm if you want to give it a try.
