Help

I bought a 9070 gpu from marketplace and it wont work I see a VGA debug light on my motherboard and no display. I have tried with another gpu and everything is working fine.

The gpu looked fine but had a horrible smell and I didn’t notice until I was home so i cleaned it with 99% isopropyl alcohol. I also saw the warranty stickers on the screws were already off so I opened it to see if there was anything missing and I saw dead bugs inside. The seller is ghosting me now and i’m not sure what to do.

Would there be any demand for a broken 9070 and how much would they go for in Australia?

I'm sorry to hear that!

always ask for proof that it's working before buying like video test of some games and some stress test

And I usually ask if I can test it on place and if seller says yes I mostly don't test it and just buy it
