Alright guys, I need your help. I think I burned my gpu. It's a GTX 980. Long story short, stupid puppy peed on the power strip, and it started to fry before I could do anything. I tested everything on the computer, and it works fine without the gpu, with the monitor plugged in the motherboard, so the PSU isn't destroyed. I tested the card on a friend's PC and it doesn't work, so I guess it's trash.
My question is. Since the warranty hasn't expired. What do I tell the shop to convince them to replace it or give me my money back?

No. You broke it (by letting wild animals into your house), deal with it.

Pay more attention to your pupper dude. Check his pecker for electrical burns.

I don't want to talk about pets. I'm well aware that it's my fault, I am trying to commit fraud in a way, just asking for help doing it.

>I am trying to commit fraud in a way
don't.
Doesn't your home/renters insurance cover this? If you bought it by a credit card, perhaps they have an insurance policy within the first X days of purchase? (like American Express)
check to see if your warranty covers it
if yes, replace it
if not, just get a new one
why isn't this in /sqt/

Eat the loss and learn from your mistake.

Why would you tell them anything? Your not an engineer, how could you know what happend? Just send it back and tell them the card stopped working while gaming. Thats it!
Raise that dog, go outside and play with it

Isn't urine a dielectric?

Tell them that it's broken, and you want them to change it. If they ask what's wrong with it say that it doesn't turn on. That's it.

Honestly this, who knows if it was the dog to begin with.
