Hello this is my card. Check on the back of the card where the metal rings are. That is where the back plate had stands and likely made contact with one of the components. Thanks for the effort so far it is greatly appreciated.
Was the card sorted?
What was the outcome, success with the repair?
that flying away chip was funny and painful
@@DIYTech21 went to another dimension
Rescued !!! From the ninth dimension
Everyone getting their old cards fixed because they can't find a new one.
This. In one of his recent videos he was fixing a 980TI, that card is 3 generations old and would be considered low-mid range by today's standards. Pre-shortage days, fixing that card would cost more than its worth.
bitcoin issue 😉
TRUE DAT!
@@Anibal_avila74 i hate shltcoiners with a passion, they are the bane of technology!
@@cesaru3619i tottaly agree
That because "WE" were with you always. We feel your sadness and your happiness on any repairs because our mind and heart are with you.
Well said Luis, well said. Fred
uP1728Q is the part number. Made by "uPI Semi." The device is NRFND at end of life. Check the inductor coil associated with that regulator and any possible vias. The datasheet says "Guaranteed 3A output" so something shorted or blew out downstream and any vias in between can act like a fuse.
Please Part-2 for this repair.
Respect for being down to earth "We"!
Keep it up!

My dad has been repairing TVs since the 1980s at home and it makes sense why he kept so many boards from other TVs. My mom used to complain about all those stacks of donor boards LOL!
skilled and humble, yes we did it!! lesson learned, thank you!!
"we did a good job" My dad and I used to trade thanks for dinner. When I would cook or order food I would thank him for the food and vise versa. The rest of my family started to question why we did that. It is not something that we discussed or planned but just started to say out of selflessness. He was a great man and we understood that it does not matter who accomplishes something but rather that we do what benefits each other. I've watched your videos for about 1 month now and I can see that you are a very honest and humble man. Never let your values falter.
I saw a Blown Filter when you first inspected the board.
When?
minute 4:39 there is a filter with a black spot. But it seems to be water or something
Actually hardcore overclocker
Has high rez images of most boards.
Tech power Up has a lot more, BZ has info.

That chip flew away as fast as my monthly paycheck
i'm really loving this series of videos. As someone that does the same kind of repairs as a hobby, i find them extremely interesting
Boss ..It's time to set your playlists. You can collect playlists on your channel according to the repaired device :
video cards.
Nintendo Switch.
Key Fob.
Play Station.
laptops. ...And so on
@Simon C Of course.
God help & bless him.
@Simon C if he allows me to do it, i will do it for free 😁
But unfortunately its must be done by himself to keep the channel safe.
Totally waiting for the episode 2 of this, I never thought I would be watching these sorts of videos but it is very interesting to see how this work is done
trace the line back along the input voltage to that IC... when that ic shorted, it probably killed something upstream
I'm binge watching every single video on your channel in an attempt to learn how to start repairing broken tech devices myself, thanks for all your content and experience
Gotta check down stream circuits pins from the chip you replaced for shorts... may take out the chip again. Easy to do. Save from replacing same chip multiple times.
You had that chip warmed up you should grab the thermal cam to try to find it would be showing up as warmer than background.
When he is testing the volts it feels like he is a doctor of the components! 😅😅 Like listening to its heart.
I We a lot of ppl should take note very kind an honest man with a lot of skill to learn from
I agree, "WE" is not a good look. I work in my own small business and always saw "WE" to my customers. It's not just me, it's the whole business. As always, awesome video! Thank you for sharing even when you don't fix it, it's still fun to watch and learn.
Relatable: "I'll just check this is soldered on properly" --> Ninth Dimension.
Thermal cam after chip repair? I would think if one thing is blown, their could be another bad component. Love your videos. Keep up the great work. We love you out here!!!!
You should inject some volts to it so that the bad ics will heat up and you can see under that thermal cam
Since there is no multimeter beeps in diode mode from any of the parts , usage of voltage injector is risky.. it may damage that ic or the whole board
How do you make sure that the solder from underneath the chip is not going to come into contact with one of the legs and short it out ? Thanks
I'm almost certain that my old HD7950 would not POST without at least a passive heatsink over the die. When I was water cooling it, the block didn't contact the die because of poor mounting pressure and the extremely thin liquid metal layer, and it didn't POST. My guess is that it avoids damage by shutting down 'cause of the heat ramping up very fast. I don't know if the same happens with this GTX1080Ti, but unless it boots at a very low power state it is feasible it's just protecting itself. The HD7950 is an older card, I think that the low power states trigger after it finished booting up.
i suggest a twitch channel for this man; who agree with me ? it will be great seeing live repair
I'd actually watch Twitch if that was the case
Plus it'll save the headache of a lot of video editing. But as he mentions, he keeps getting called during his repairs so that'd be a bit difficult on live.
It will actually be more difficult for him to do live repairs when you have customers come in & out, sometimes wanting to mute his mic during a repair, move cam equipment around also avoiding sensitive information etc that may accidently show on stream. It's better for him to edit his videos and upload. Live streams are pretty risky
@@Jackson_Harris That is true, but if does it for an hour or two after hours
Twitch channels are for newbie techs who have plenty of spare time. NorthridgeFix is doing it the veteran style.
I like your methodology and your approach to troubleshooting those graphic cards, measuring voltages, resistance values, and writing them down for future reference. I used to do the same thing fixing VCR's decades ago. It is always handy to have those voltages and resistance measurements for reference and comparison troubleshooting.
Check for Pex_vdd vtg , pex_rst signal and also finger capacitor vtg(0.3/0.7V).
IC up1728 is for pex_vdd(1V).
Thank you so much for allowing us to work along side you and share in the frustration of trouble shooting. Watching that IC fly off... ugh... people who haven't attempted to use hot air on a small component have no idea the skill it takes to master hot air. My guess is a bad coil or resistor. I'm thinking that these boards fail due to overheating? Hope you share with us the fault you find. Aways wanting to learn more. Very happy with my last order of Qianli Precision Tweezers.
i love the blower cards. they get a lot of hate, but the use case is always misunderstood. these are perfect for very small builds, like itx. the fan spins real fast, so can be audible, but is so much better at pushing air through the fins and out the back (i/o side). also red pcb 👍
Blower cards get hate because they usually suck. The whole cooler needs to be re-designed from the ground up for optimal performance and manufacturers just opt out for the quick (cheaper) solution. Stick an axial fan on a crappy heatsink and of course it will over-compensate with higher RPMs. PlayStations have axial fans too, but Sony designed their heatsinks and fan size accordingly - so no issues there. 😉 Just like the ITX format you mentioned or portable computers (a.k.a. notebooks/"lap"tops) for example. They were never invented/designed for high performance gaming, those are compact size platforms meant to save space in work environments and/or be easily transported. There are exceptions, but they don't make the rule and you can pretty much count them on your fingers. Manufacturers' job is to sell you tech constantly, so like always - use your head, so you don't have to use your wallet again. 👍
@@em0_tion with regards to the heatsink and being cheaper. they follow the design of a normal datacenter gpu, so it is not so outlandish. i was just addressing all the flak they get. but there is one advantage, when people perceive them as shit, they become cheaper. so you can keep the blower or swap it out for a waterblock.
@northridgefix
Techpowerup has a LOT of PCB pictures of GPU boards. You can try looking them up
thanks for all your extra work posting videos and have a great few days off.
Feel like you should get a better camera, as you are one of the largest electronic fix youtubers
Exceptional work!
Man gaining this knowledge is going to make you and your company rich in this day and age.
3:52 is that C93 supposed to be empty? There is solder on those pads.
You should show the final results with the board assembled back together? Or video him taking it apart for you
I have a msi GTX 1050ti, it was working then one day, turned my pc on and it will not be detected. Very interesting to watch! Part 2? This would be great!
The 😁 after you lost und found the component 👍👍👍
You Love your Job
So nice to watch👍☺️
You bring the job really nice on camera, thanks for that.
14:16 Once I lost a 0402 resistor on a very fluffy mat, I sure as hell didn't even bother looking for it.
You have good ethics sir. I have used the term "We" for years. I like to include all working with me the credit for work done well.
All of your videos are really interesting ! I'm starting to think to learn everything you do. Probably a bunch of GPUs ended up in the trash when they are probably easily repairable and cheap to repair. Keep up the great work
I think I saw heat at the top of board when thermal imager was on
Yup, 2 chips up top were glowing red
Your work are so tuff to find a error in messy card. Iove your work.
U really find a tiny component in the 5th dimension 😳, waw , applause guys 👏👏👏 👏
Looks like a cracked capacitor at 19:12 right under the probe.
Might just be strands of goop I reckon
When do we get to see the big boss showing his skills?
Oh yes you are right, we are here with you, your fans stay with you. They wanna help, wanna talk and discuss about your videos.
I very interested in a second part of this grafics-card. Nice video. Thx
We did a great job as in The technician, the people dealing with customers and the people who are disassembling and reassembling.
And even if you did not manage to fix something you still learned something new about a specific board
Also, the inductor on that regulator does not look capable of the 3 amps that the regulator can provide. Maybe open circuit?
That inductor looks melted, next to the replaced ic
I noticed that too!
مبروووووك 150k وعقبال المليون
I am being inspired to learn more about electronics because of thia man. Spotting where the problem is.. he's so good. Such an inspiration. 👌
You are a true legendary healer ❤
when you can fix graphics card,then you'll be the hero for gamers who got the broken graphics card.awesome job as always man...hats up
A lot of these cards have been used for mining, that's why they blow, they're not designed to be running at full power 24/7
how is the donor chip the same, if the original chips seems to be somekind of Tx2 number, but donor number starts with Pgp ?
Check the voltage on the pex rail. There must be a reason the pex Buck converter burnt out.
Overcurrent due to a short (the customer said it in the beginning)
buy RISER 009s (at least model 009s) it will help you a lot to test graphics card on the bench.
Hello sir . I am confident you gona repair this card, it doesn't means I can see future but I am pretty confident at your incredible skills. So all the best n don't worry Tuesday is gonna be nice and lucky day 👏👏👏👍👈
انشاء الله عزيزي
It may be that the VRam is burned out. There is to see with the thermal cam again.
But according to what the customer said, that the heatsink has been detached from the chip, it is likely that the graphics chip has burned out from overheating.
He is very straight to the point
I’m sure many happy customers based on your work....I say I’m happy when you get to my part...if you weren’t a successful repair company you’d have empty benches...enjoy your success
At 5:08 there is something on the left of the inductor pad.
We got a 2080 with that chip blown. I gotta get zone zo getting around zo attempt zhe fix. Have 3090 it just gets red hot immediately ,no go
No visible damage, but similar thing happened to it ,a screw got stuck to the thermal pad and I didn't notice it it short board ,I think
Look again for heat maybe in same spot ? Just a thought.
check fuse resistor in series to vin pin of uP17280 ic i think its open resistor 5v supply is missing maybe
hi, you need to buy a "Extender Riser Card Adapter Creative USB 3.0 PCI-E Express", to work and test the video cards, it will help very much, you can put in you front and work on it. and keed the boas away. :) i do like that. it will not use all x16 lanes, but you dont need untill final testes. they will run on it. e even do futumark on ti ( go easy)
Check for feedback resistors
It seems to be a common fault, it’s a synchronous Buck converter controller with internal switching mosfets, and seemingly no real OC protection. I’d order like a dozen if I were you, it’ll come up again for sure
Im not tech expert, what about if you resoldring the same chip that you just puted and recheck again by thermo cam.
It's soldered on perfectly, and as its kind of a big / Middle sized chip he can easily tell if its soldered correctly, thanks for your input by the way ☺️
amazing visual inspection...
Maybe the vram controller chip which is from the donar board is also faulty try replacing it with a working one!! maybe it will work & yes i also saw what looked like a blown component below the chip at 4:32 !!?? you are my biggest idol & inspiration & i wanna thank u for it :-).
btw your voltmeter could have been visible if you just put it in focus
The hero we need in these troubling times
believe me or not but that chip jump out of my screen, smashed my nose and back to your desk ! #9thdimension hug from the Caribbean
Those tiny capacitors could be the problem. U need to keep on testing.
Check rsmreset platform reset and clock signals
Wonderfull job mr.NORTHRIDGE,
Can u suggests agood youtube channel for SOLAR INVERTER DAIAGNOSTICS AND FIX
I will be greatful.
Hey! I have been following your youtube channel for a while now and im learning alot from you! Is it possible to buy ur exact version of soldering kit? I didnt see it on your website and there is alot of types to choose from and i dont know which one 😁
Any tips to filter some of the choices out?
Thank you, shukran, mashallah your work is amazing.
It's DCto DC synchronous buck converter may be 1mhz 3Amps
"Either it works, or it doesn't" - couldn't have said it better myself my man.
ربي يرزقك ويزيدك يا وحش الالكتونيات تحيه من العراق🇮🇶
Do you use ultrasonic cleaner once you are finish such board ? it have alot of dust
Hi Alex, have you checked PCIe 1st line diff-pair? sometimes it goes OL and prevents the card from being initialised
that blower performs magic
can voltage injection help to find out if there is a short or some thing like this ????
Good day what is the model and brand name of the multimeter that you using please. hope for your reply please.
I think the PCie controller in the gpu is dead. The pex resitance is too low for this cards....so the Gpu will never work again. We see that heat on the termalcam on the corner of the gpu next to the pex rail.
Always look forward to your videos
You've officially been MSI'd. Of all the gpus I've had, the only 2 that went belly up were MSI's. Pieces of crap.
this, msi motherboards are even worse
nah bro youre vibing, i have a 1060 msi for 5 years
just buy a better psu thats it
@@chrisozeneul no one said they had a 100% failure rate bro, maybe you just got lucky, a 1060 is hardly a high-end GPU also
The Padishah of Electronic Boards...

NOT!
If there is no short and the voltajes are ok, check if the ram chips are ok, then try reflashing the firmware, then check if the gpu chip is ok, if not then it's better to tell your client buy a new viceocard.
i think its a faulty chip on the other card and thats the resson the old card was a donor card as it was a no fix also
How is it that you make soldering chips look so easy!??? Lol!! 😆
Hi could you please advise me what is PCB Cleaner it you use ?
Could it be something happen around the bios chip, i heard that bios chip also responds for the card to be detcted
maybe the gpu is cooked. too long voltage test without mini heatsink
@@ariewijaya1679 GPUs are usually very good at throttling themselves and only sip a few watts when powered on for POST. This is really only a risk for really old cards like the gtx 700 series and earlier, but if those cards die it's usually just cause of sheer old age.
@@Shyvorixjust try with your own rtx 😁
@@ariewijaya1679 I have actually! I did diagnostics on a friend's rtx 2060 a while ago. Only sipped like...10 or 15 watts at the meter for a bit. Card for repaired though, was just a blown mosfet iirc that he sent to get fixed. still works fine to this day.
I have an rtx 3090 currently but that actually had to get replaced cause of a different fuckup LOL.
Will you ever do a personal rig video?
That would be awsome!
The end letter looks like a “Q”. That also is a buck converter by the way.
A real buck convertor ... none of that "voltage regulator rubbish" 😂
Check BIOS chip? And maybe find and flash original BIOS to it if possible somehow
