So for some backstory, a few months back I purchased a r9 295x2 for pretty cheap. Card was listed as damaged due to water damage and the video card wasn't detected when booting. I asked about how the water damage occurred fearing that it might be the cooler leaking, but lo and behold it was a simple water spill on top of the PC. This further checks out as there was much visible corrosion on the top side of the card, whereas I found none on the core side upon taking the cooler off. Knowing this I thought that I would be able to clean the card off and perhaps get it to work.
I cleaned the card off with some compressed air for the dust and used a toothbrush and some isopropyl alcohol to clean off the corrosion on the back of the card(last photo). Upon reassembling the card and placing it in my PC(2700x, win 10), the card's fans and pumps would fire up as would the lights but the card would not show up in windows or GPU-z. I took the card apart and went back over it with the toothbrush and alcohol but still the same.
I watched this guy's YouTube video on how he fixed his, though he had a seemingly different issue.
I measured the core, and memory resistances, which came to be about the same for both cores. So I don't think the cores are dead? I'm pretty new to this stuff so forgive me for sounding like an idiot.
Long story short I'm not sure how or where to proceed? Any ideas on what to measure/look for or things I should be trying to do?
Thanks!
