Salam,
I've been having trouble with my gpu lately. I've recently came to known that if a gpu is having rust, it can prevent display from coming on. The problem is that the yellow connectors which are used to attach the gpu onto the pci-e port has some rust on it. I live near the sea so that's how I've acquired the dust and rust on my gpu. So one day i took my gpu to a computer shop and the guy at first told me that the gpu is fried, so i didn't believe him. The guy then took a cutter and scrapped some of the rust on the connectors and surprisingly the gpu worked. So i came home, full of eager and joy and again my gpu doesn't give any display. Can someone please help me on this issue?
Can my gpu be repaired? Like is there any good computer shop who can fix this issue for a small amount? I can't afford a gpu at this moment and i don't want to buy any.
Please help....

Try to use WD-40 spray. Spray it over a cloth and then use it on the rusty part?

Or just like the shop guy, remove the rust somehow.

    Is it just me or people lately seem to defend every bad game design decision made by the devs and try to give bullshit reasons for that? Or perhaps it's because I'm on reddit and discord :ROFLMAO:
