I built a friend a PC, worked perfectly before I shipped it, GPU (6950 XT as per the photo)
[image|3206200]
was damaged during shipping and he was unsuccessful with insurance/RMA so I'm looking at how I can fix it. The only physical damage is to the tab that locks the GPU into the Mobo, but this in itself isn't always a problem from what I've read, my best guess currently is that some of the traces from the PCB are shorting in the damaged area. Is this fixable? I work in engineering and have a very good selection of tools available.
