Yes, wasn't an attack. Just wanted to make sure you took all the steps to confirm it was dead before spending your money or going through the trouble of getting a new card. There are a lot of smart people on this forum that could help confirm your card is dead and that it wasn't something as simple as pulling the card cleaning and reseating it or a driver issue, etc..
You may have done all that, but again your question in this thread leads me to suspect you didn't. That's all I meant.
