Hi
My Aero I acquired in a lot of cards has a lovely no power issue, when inserted the CPU will spin for a sec and nothing else,
Could it be the fuse that's blown ??
No burn marks on card that I can see,
Photos of card enclosed.

Test for shorts on the power rails?
Usually If a GPU was giving me issues I would re-flow the GPU and it has solved many issue in the past ( but this is only when the card boots and has issues with display)
Best of luck.

Thanks for that .. yeah I think I’ll get my multimeter out and test for shorts .. might be something small pulling down the voltage and making the card short the motherboard
Cheers
Any more help please comment below

And I cleaned and put in to Test and …… smoke and sparks ⚡️

Hell no. It worked only on some older GPUs which failed internally and heating brought them back to life temporarily. On 1070 reballing only works on graphics cards which were dropped and more likely that solder under RAM will fail first. Baking these series is a very dumb way how to make useless trash out of repairable graphics card. Fuses even when fail, they don't do it by themselves. If there is a blown fuse, you're up to something more serious. First thing you need to do is check power rail resistances to GND.

Looks like there was a shorted ceramic cap which was very easy and cheap to replace. But now it's probably a PCB burned through he layers. Clean that and post a photo of how bad it is.

You are not supposed to power a graphics card which makes computer to turn off unless you want to cause more damage.

yeah dumb move by me but I had a feeling it might live after a clean .. silly me |O.. I can pull it off with my hot air station and retake pics
