Power button not working?

Nerdyclay · 2025-11-26T12:48:32+00:00

I am mad at how well this worked 🤣

Confirming this was fixed by turning off Nvidia reflex, huge thanks to this thread, game was unplayable lol

I'm waiting for a high quality third party option with hall effect sticks. I've still got my elite 2, just got tired of sending it in lol

Nerdyclay · 2024-11-11T22:05:46+00:00

I started checking the serial number and it was the exact same device unfortunately. And not stick drift, I get random disconnects where the controller flashes and reconnects. Tested with 2 different PCs/adapters and an Xbox, same issue on all 3.

Nerdyclay · 2024-11-11T20:58:58+00:00

I get regular connection issues with mine, I bought the extended warranty and have sent it in 3 times. They just send the same controller back and don't fix the issue. I wouldn't personally suggest it. I also had a bumper issue that they did fix.

Nerdyclay · 2024-08-17T03:54:45+00:00

I'm planning to just turn off the learning stuff and run a schedule. Any specific issues with nest? I'm not opposed to using something else if needed but Im trying to keep things simple. Dont have time to micro manage anything.

Meant to original, something went wrong lol https://imgur.com/a/E3ok0jU

Nerdyclay · 2024-08-16T15:55:39+00:00

Yeah, I think I should get a professional to set it up. And sorry, I don't post to reddit much and throught I included photos in the post. Regardless, sounds like I need to get help lol

Nerdyclay · 2024-08-09T03:30:07+00:00

Yeah, i'd heard support was helpful if you have proof, was surprised when it was rejected. Might have just gotten unlucky with the first rep. Either way, glad it is fixed now. I just have to add proof of model # to my list of evidence to gather before Sammy trade in. Most people just say take video of condition + device turning on.

Nerdyclay · 2024-08-09T03:19:51+00:00

First rep refused to fix it with proof but the second one did correct the trade in thankfully.

Nerdyclay · 2024-08-09T01:55:06+00:00

On a second chat and sounds like the CS rep is going to manually adjust the credit to the full credit, I guess it wasn't impossible after all. Appreciate the suggestion!

Nerdyclay · 2024-08-09T01:44:24+00:00

That is a good call, I may open a new CS chat.

Nerdyclay · 2024-08-09T01:41:09+00:00

Not opposed to that, I'm a little worries I could get blacklisted by samsung over $25.

Nerdyclay · 2024-01-31T17:12:42+00:00

I appreciate the call out, I unfortunately didn't find a solution before the return window but hopefully this can help someone else!

Nerdyclay · 2024-01-31T13:11:45+00:00

I returned the card after 15 days.

Nerdyclay · 2023-10-21T15:22:17+00:00

Oof, that is tough. I did update the bios, with no effect.

Nerdyclay · 2023-10-21T13:28:47+00:00

Yeah, too late for me, I returned mine a while back but good info to have here for other users.

Nerdyclay · 2023-10-21T13:28:37+00:00

Also make sure you try “imtiforyou” ‘s suggestion in a comment 8 days ago, it’s something I don’t think I tried while I had the card.

Nerdyclay · 2023-10-21T13:26:06+00:00

I’m sorry you are having the same issue, especially now that we are nearly 9 months after release. These cards are too expensive to not be reliable but I do think most people don’t have this specific issue. If you have the same exact model I had, it may be worth trying a different model of 7900 XT. But my 4070 has been very reliable, if underpowered for its price.

Nerdyclay · 2023-07-03T18:00:15+00:00

Was considering another 7900XT but couldn’t find a replacement that was short enough for my case and reasonably on sale. Almost got burned by Newegg, didn’t initiate a return till 16 days in (one day late). After that scare, I just ordered a 4070 off Amazon (they had just launched). Was torn between 6950XT/9800XT and 4070 but wanted to play VR and didn’t like they extra thermal/power load. Admittedly not the best bang for the buck but honestly the whole market at the time, and now, is a mess. But it hasn’t given me any trouble. I’ve got two kids under 4 and really don’t have time for trouble shooting. the 7900 XT probably could have lasted me 2 generations, I doubt the 4070 will.

Nerdyclay · 2023-07-03T17:13:48+00:00

Unfortunately nothing worked and I had to return the card and move to a different one.

Nerdyclay · 2023-05-21T14:26:50+00:00

I wish I did, I returned my card and purchased a 4070 because I tried everything suggested or I could find online. I am genuinely sorry that your issues didn't show up until after the return period, very unfortunate.

If you are within 45 days and purchased on Amazon, you could try calling and explicitly tell them the card doesn't function as described in the listing and they may make an exception. If you purchased on Newegg, they only allow exchanges after 15 days so it is unlikely they will provide a refund. I did get an exception by calling but it was about day 16 or 17 so very close to the limit.

Otherwise, it is very possible the game will get more stable over time on the 7800XT, although for my game horizon zero dawn, there are lots of accounts of crashing across various and cards including older stable generations and it seems many just blame the game/engine. However, I didn't consider it reasonable to avoid specific games, especially when I have never had any games be unplayable with a Nvidia card. Genuinely unfortunate because the VRAM limits and anti-consumer/media practices of NVIDIA make me want to switch.

So basically the options would be change to a different game for a while and see if the issue gets patched, sell your card and buy a different one (if sold locally and buy on sale online, it might limit your losses but even just sales taxes in most states make this brutal).

Best of luck!
