Hi guys. well I have went and damaged my pride and joy possibly beyond repair tryin to remove the referance cooler. Wanted to fit the zalman cooler so i started unscrewin the screws on the referance cooler but 1 screw would not move. I was extremly tired at this point and was just wantin this cooler off. So i ended up wedgin it of using a screw driver, i know HUGE mistake. The cooler finnaly came of at the cost of me scratchin the card and I have cut a cuple of traces.
I then took a pair of pliers to the screw that was stuck on the referance cooler and it still would not move, the head ended up breakin away.
Well i was so angry with myself for lettin this happen I did not even try the card till yesterday. And sure enough with both coolers, zalman and referance, card wont display nothing. The PC beeps 4 times (1 long 3 short) then boots into windows
I have voided my warranty and Im wondering if this can be repaired. Its only 3 or 4 tiny scratches thats causing this aswell.
I will post pictures later when iv had sum sleep.
Thanks guys
