Welcome To TechIMO!!

Unfortunately it is highly unlikely that you can fix your graphics card if there is physical damage to the card? Do you have a picture you can post of it?

Are there any physical things broken off it? (ex. Capacitors, mem chips)

Actually I'm curious as to how this happened.

I'm a sucker for these type of disaster stories.

Yeah, same here.

I love it almost as much as I love watching people who don't even know how much RAM they have boast about how much they love computers. A guy in my school is like that.

Was the card bought new or used, and when did you buy it?

Methinks the seller should have been more careful with the packaging.

So, what is the damage exactly? Can you provide a picture? Or detailed description?
