Rat peed on GPU

[AdityaLightRex]

I bought gtx 1050ti 1 month ago and today rat peed on GPU and it's not working no display help

How can a rat get inside a computer case?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Animal urine is way worst then plain water; yea I'll bet the whole GPU is dead now, no surprise.

Check thoroughly for physical damages. If aren't any, RMA the card through the maker.

A rat can fit through a single rear slot, no problem, trust me.

Trying to power your PC with rats is animal cruelty. You will hear from the hamster union soon.

Good luck RMA'ing a card that stinks of rat urine

Not hard to clean off and make smell fresh; it's not nearly as bad as cat urine
I've seen and dealt with much worse from customers.

You ever have to clean someone's PC who smokes within their home; that is WAY worse.

Overall if the GPU is not burned anywhere, then it should be doable to clean it up fully, dry it out, etc. If liquid spilled on top of the GPU card, it probably dripped down into the GPU Cooler through tiny holes and such; you're going to need to completely take the whole GPU apart and clean it up.

Yes I cleaned it doesn't smell much

sounds like that rat has it out for you, personnaly.

i wouldnt of powered it backup. increasingly likely its dmg more

but there is hope, but its vs cost repair.

not sure what RMA do for card GPU repairs, trade secrets etc. but the louis rossman channel. new york macbook repair shop. gives some insight.

pretty much the process is out of your hands but its something like this

resolder new components that are damaged with flux!
test voltage with multimeter, with schematic! only rmas will have those. looking for green light.
tear down, remove heatsink n thermal paste
then into a ultrasonic cleaner, use a toothbrush (very specific) gently brush around the area that was worked on
after that sit in ultrasonic cleaner for some time, depends could be as little as 10 minutes
then into 91% isopropyl alcohol bath
then sit in air filter after that it goes in a oven for a hour (real dry)
retest

dont go for idiot repair are a problem. verdict its a rma

its likely beyond saving just 91% isopropyl alcohol drip dry. its worth noting the goal of pc owners, is to never have to RMA something that could of been prevented.

ultrasonic cleaner (like a jewellery cleaner but better) a good one as he points out will get stains off some wont
99% alcohol bath
air filter machine
convectional oven to dry in at some high temp. not for gpu ball reflowing.

all of this you must know the correct method and timings for each process on different boards
