Safe to buy used gpu with one video out port broken? (lemmy.ml)

As per title. It has 2 DP ports and one hdmi. One DP out is broken. I know I won't ever need al 3 ports so it's not an issue for me. Only thing is, I have no idea what the cause of the issue could be and if it could "spread" in the future to all ports and render the gpu unusable. Maybe if someone has had experience with this situation before and could chime in? Or if you know the usual causes of this issue and if they could likely worsen or that's unlikely.

Thanks

And get new pads.*

Can't forget that for the VRMs!

Great point!

If you have a volt meter check the voltage rails while you have it open
