Hi guys

since my 2048sp got so good resultsxi wanted to post my broken RX480 8gb reference

starts up fan when computer starts but that’s about it.. thinking about doing a update of bios maybe update to 580? better one for more performance? (If I get it going again).. any other ideas how I should go on with troubleshooting? Also find one component maybe missing a solder.

Its a regulator for sure

If you mean that middle leg, it's completely normal that it's not connected.

edit: Is the card recognized at all in the OS if you have it in the second slot and use a working card in the first one to get a picture?

the card won’t give any picture in the 4-5 HDMI’s so I have not tested because the computer change to the RX when started so gonna need to use the built in gpu when troubleshooting some way.

Computer is mini-itx only one pci-e

Got this card for cheap from my friend it’s never open by him

I saw some burnt marks on two of the small boxes on the card could this make the ports dead?

Ok the spots on the inductors (coils) look like heatspots, anyways, look at other parts of the board for any other signs of damage or knocked off components.

Please understand, this forum is seeing many of the chinese market rx 580s, typically have been mined with, and a wrong bios will cause them to not work, for that matter any card.

Make sure you can start up on the igp please, then we will proceed

Whats that asus thing over the pcie blade?
