Long story short, I purchased a GTX 1080 SeaHawk from a seller on eBay. The guy sold me a faulty card and refused to give me my money back. I opened a dispute with eBay, and they got me my money back and let me keep the card.

I don't get a display, but the white LED light appears on the MSI logo. I've tried it in my second PCIe slot, and my brothers PC and it's still the same. Is there anything I can do to get this to work? Alternatively, is it possible to revive a dead GPU?

My PSU is sufficient and there are no incompatibilites in my system so there should be no reason why it isn't working.

If I'm missing anything, let me know and I'll add it.

Thanks

Wouldn't have the slightest of clues how you'd go about troubleshooting a dead GPU.

Only thing I could suggest is to rip it open to see for any visible signs of damage which could give you a few hints?

Else, you have a very pretty paperweight
