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.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    MS one upping Sony in catching the biggest L in gaming
    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
