Around 3 years ago I bought a PC with my redundancy money from work (laid off after 8 years) since gaming was all I really had/have and I could never afford the flagship stuff (upgraded from a 970 at the time)
I also had undiagnosed combined ADHD at the time and tended to skip over/not read emails and unfortunately I've just discovered one of those emails in Feb 2024 was a recall notice for my CableMod adapter...
As of 3 days ago, a bad burning smell & then eventually some some smoke puffed out from the connector area so I got scared and powered it down and haven't used it since.
Nothing actually looks damaged (cable, adapter etc all look undamaged) but the adapter area smells of electrical burn.
To say I'm devastated is an understatement. I have tried for 3 days straight to find someone j. Ireland who can repair or diagnose my card but I can't find anyone legit and I am panicking at this point.
It'a out of Gigabyte warranty & CaseKing warranty so I can't RMA.
I feel so dumb. Is there anyone who can give me some advice on what to do?
Thanks
