I found one listed card listed and was wondering if you guess think this card is repairable or valid for claiming warranty.. if it goes for a decent price i was thinking about grabbing it.

Here is the explanation:

I've got an ATI HD 5870 (XFX) that was used for a few hours, got a little water cooling liquid on it from a shattered pump and stopped working. It worked a couple times more but now it is pretty much dead.

I doesn't spin the fans at full speed so the fan speed control is working, but it also never posts. The computer doesn't even do the POST beep dance when the card is inserted.

It was brand new, I thoroughly cleaned it after the spilling but alas to no avail. There is no physical damage visible.
