WTS: Broken (maybe?) Laptop, R9 270X

XFX R9 270X video card
Bought to Crossfire, and then found out the game i was addicted to didn't suport Xfire. Yay. So one of them has a bunch of hours on it and the other has almost none. Course, I can't tell which is which because I pulled them out and set them beside me. They do a pretty good job gaming but I was dropping into the 20s in Rust which is what led to me upgrading. -one sold, one left

Broken (maybe?) MSI GS63VR Stealth Pro - i7 7700HQ GTX1060 16GB RAM
Originally bought new from BB and used for about 9 months when I was getting some fan noise and I was concerned it was the GPU so got an RMA to MSI. They worked on it and sent it back, and the fan noise was gone. After about 45 days suddenly it wouldn't switch to the GTX1060 from the onboard video. Tried to get another RMA but they said it was outside warranty period. =( At some point in the past 4 months I took it apart to see if I could see anything obvious but didn't notice anything, reassembled. Sometime shortly after that it wouldn't boot out of BIOS, currently cycling BIOS during boot. Haven't tried any windows recovery stuff or anything like that, washing my hands of it.

It is in very nice cosmetic condition and I didnt break any of the plastic pins when I disassembled it. Never been dropped or anything stupid like that. Includes original charger, I threw away the boxes but I have a small box of papers and things that it came with as well.

I picked up that same generation laptop and had something very similar happen with it. All I did was swap out the onboard 256GB M.2 SSD with a 1TB SSD. Disassembled carefully, then reassembled. It would just boot loop @ bios. Eventually it just stopped working.

If you're looking for something in trade for it, let me know. Might be fun to tinker.

Interesting, that is similar to what happened to mine. But I suppose it doesn't alter the peculiar behavior of the video card that I was experiencing

I have had 3 nvidia based laptops go out like this. After the 2nd laptop, I did a lot of researching, and as a desperate move, I took out the GPU, baked it in the oven (450F for ~6 minutes, turn off oven and let it cool down slowly with door open) and it fixed the 880GTX for about 6-8 months. I've now baked 2 separate GPUs (880mGTX, 980mGTX). The GPUS get too hot and with the cycles of gaming (hot) then stop gaming, they quickly cool, resulting in the solder breaking, and the baking of GPU causes it to reflow.

Not a permanent solution, however, my 980GTX is going strong on 1 year post bake. It's definitely not my daily gamer anymore, but worth a shot and will extend the life for sure. Look it up, can probably google (bake nvidia laptop GPU in oven) and find threads of hundreds of posts showing it works.

Good price though.

I think I would leave that to people more comfortable with that sort of thing than myself haha
