I bought a used Radeon on eBay that worked fine at first. I installed the drivers, launched Unreal, and it worked fine for a few seconds before my monitor suddenly shut off. The card was dead.
There isn't anything visibility wrong with it and there are no damaged components. I'm reading about 3o ohms across one of the 22uF tantalums with my multimeter, and my guess is that this is the fault. It's in a terrible location and I'll have to remove several other components to get at it.
Has anyone else had an experience of a used part dying suddenly after receipt?
