I found your channel about 2 months ago and have been watching your videos every chance I get. It's hard to believe you don't have a million + subs, but no doubt you will eventually mate. Looking forward too the next one!
I know right ...
My vote is replace both chips and the fuse.
Alex, I am sure glad those caps didn't blow because I was watching very closely and did not have my goggles on. It could have blinded me...
Excellent video, Alex. I look forward to watching reball the BGA in the next video!
I can't wait for part two!!
Love these videos, would love to see a complete repair
yeah he shows how complex a simple fuse blown can be to fix on a gpu
"Your eye is more important than a MOFSET" that has to be a t-shirt slogan!
5:54 I am not soldering expert but since I am a long therm subscriber I said same thing! Glad you stopped there Alex 🙂
Another great diagnostic video!
I wish more people would watch and learn the art of soldering! I always comment on peoples videos that they need to use more flux.
I get bashed to death with people saying flux is ONLY for soldering a component on with!
I'm like no! Flux is used to improve the flow of solder, therefore it should be used during removal of components, removal of solder from pads, re-applying of solder, and re-installation of components. In my eyes, if you pick up your iron or your hot air wand, you should have used the flux already!!
END OF STORY!
Excellent use of logic, eliminate potential problem, test, continue, very good vid.
I have an Rtx 3060 PNY im going to send in to you. You seem to be the best electronic repairman on RUclips. Hope all is well!
I like your watching videos, they're my daily NorthridgeFix 😁They're ever so interesting to watch.
I have watched another video of a technician where they use copper tape to protect other components on a circuit board whilst using a hot air gun 😉
Using the thermal camera is an art itself
When temperature gets very high, like when some gpus are stacked for mining in a closed tight space, sometimes the fuse can be more sensitive, and blow at a lower amp rating. Its not always a short circuit. They can be sensitive to high temperature.
As always, you're a repair god.
Great, i can't wait to see the second part. Good work, effective and fast. Nice. Thank you, greets
Another excellent video Alex. Look forward to part two.
Looking forward to part two: Return of the Ram.
Thanks Alex.
Looking forward 2 part 2
Very good job 👏
It blows my mind that people send these old cards in. I'd imagine he's looking at a couple of hundred bucks for the repair. You can get a newer and better card (used) for around that repair price, or just barely a little bit more.
You are correct, a rtx 3050 or a rx6600 both beat a 980 ti by a large margin. both can be found for about $250
That's an old card to want to save. The used market is pretty decent for newer GPUs, but to each their own. Nice diagnoses and video as always!
I still have my saggy gigabyte windforce 970 alive and kicking in my spare pc, still holds up for decent 1080p gaming in most cases!
@@Adualion Yes very good, but would you pay 200$ or so to get it fixed? It just isnt reasonable for cards that old. Just like OP said.
I was going to say exactly this. Must have sentimental value or something, there's 0 reason to save an obsolete card that barely does 1080p.
@boofygoofy3758 probably to put it to use in a kids computer or something, and not generate more e-waste, and also help small business at the same time
Can't wait for part 2, loving your content. Recent subscriber.
thanks.. looking forward to the final fix..
Ooh can't wait for pt2 reballing a memory chip will be exciting
i read 970ti and got very confused! 980tis are badass!
Hi from Bulgaria
Would like to see you reball a BGA chip.
Alex my opinion is to replace the both chips it,s worth to change it and ofcourse the blown fuse. 👍
yup thats true. If fuse is blowned, need to investigate the cause.. Im not a technician nor have an educational background on electronics, but if comparing to a house, a breaker that went off is to prevent further damage to other system
So, for someone less experienced in heat management near parts like caps, would it be worth the extra time/effort to desolder the caps first, and then put them back after the work on the nearby chip is done?
And another great vid m8, well done
should replace the chip, which gives you the best possibility of a fix along with bad mosfet
What i do is add some heavy duty Aluminum foil in areas like that :) it does help
man people still use this card 980 ti, it is old
but it must be dear to its owner
ok alex we waiting for part 2, good work man
I have a 960 in that exact body, with 8+6 pins power connectors!
Good morning
what about the ram chip? are you sure it was faulty or will you try to solder it back?
Could it have heated because of the second faulty chip?
love from Pakistan 🥰 always learning from you videos
The best of the best better than factory
Good morning 🌞
Hard to imagine two separate, unrelated shorts on the same board at the same time. Presumably the shorted fet was on vmem and killed the memory ic.
MARSHALLAH GOOD WORK ALWAYS
man....I had too much anxiety just waiting to see if those caps would pop
Great as always
awesome
I could offer my retired 980GTX for 100€ - problem fixed 😄
Nice ✌🏾
Thank you for wearing safety goggles. It's important!
nice
@5:25 is that the gate or the source? I'm confused :/
please teach how to check short with multimeter on pcb
Seeing so many videos, I automatically says Aluminium caps at 5.56. :-)
old card to want to save but i say replace both chips since they are off
Maybe from overheating from playing with extended hours..
can u also apply focused heat from bottom to remove mosfet?
I think graphics cards are very very think.
Not sure it would work and you'd have to really heat up that board.
Best to use the copper wire method.
Since the mosfet only attaches from one side, no. The board will absorb all the heat
great vid! lot of learnings here
Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Yes
Maybe Alex can possibly answer my question. When working on new motherboards, something you’ve never touched. You find the problem and you remove it but you do not have a parts board. How do you find out the value?
read print on chip to identfy
A shame people cannot just be happy a graphics card works? The processing unit is factory set for a reason.
What blow gun temp did you use to remove the chip?
Where is the part 2? 😄
replace both!
Iam missing the end music....
I try to fix my laptop power supply, and i detect a broken fuse and replaced it... Then booooOom... Gameover, i didnt check the other component.... Part of growing up... Hahaha
watch diodegonewild vids, he got full procedure on troubelshooting power supplies
Replace both.
Hi Alex,
Very informative video.
One question, when you were attempting to remove the mosfet, why didn't you use low melt solder instead of hot air?
Thankyou
There is solder under the Mosfet, can't apply solder under a component while it's still on the board
I mean, it's nice to save something from the landfill, but economically it can't be viable to repair a $100 card.
wheres the p2
Part 2?
expected a pop😬😬
I was holding my breath and was glad Alex put on his goggles. I "popped" a cap a few years back. It was not a terribly big cap but it was louder and smokier than I thought one would be.
👍👍
Why would anyone try and fix anything under a 1070 at this point..
Why didn't he just buy a new card, the repair is probably worth more than the card itself
This card is dead cause of bad memory VRM position. Bad cooling.
Why would anyone repair such an old card?!
Giga and fuse ?!?!? how when where ?!?!
😂😂😂😂
Who would repair a 980ti. Its not worth it.
мне нужен такой транзистор
wondering if you ever sleep 😊
Mr. Alex is a ROBOT!!
980 is outdated time for an upgrade
Dont think the 980ti is worth of all this....
lol its always never the memory chip
Why don't you reply?
wow and a 980ti goes for $100 aus or 50 usd.. why bother
🙏👏👏👏🙏
Title says 970 Ti 😅
buenisimo master!
he will pay more than 2060 costs which is faster haha
$150 CARD TOPS! JUNK IT
980Ti*
Came in for no power.

You just give up on it
