  • Someone sent me this GPU for repair.
    Lots of missing components around every memory chips were causing issues with producing an image and installing drivers.
    Eventually one chip died.
    From this repair i learned a lesson not to accept repairs from PRIOR failed repair attempts as they are much much harder to fix.
    It took me two days 12+hrs each day to fix this card.
    for repair contact me here tony@northwestrepair.com (ignore automatic reply)
    Also my thingiverse page www.thingivers...
    Resources and much more are available on Discord.

    • @andrew_koala2974
      @andrew_koala2974 10 месяцев назад

      resistance increases as temperature increases
      (is grammatically correct )
      Why you used the word rises defies logic.
      That word is LOW level language
      Increases and decreases is high level language.
      You almost got it correct.
      Make sure to do better next time.

    I never heard of disabling the GPU audio interface. Darn near forgot that GPU's had an audio interface. I guess Brand-X GPU's forgot about that too.

    From experience, most cards at least up until the 3000 series, not sure for 4000, the four spring screws for the cooler mount were always done underneath the backplate. This is because technically from factory the backplates were an optional addition and not a necessity, and thus the spring pressures are set for NOT mounting through the backplate.

    I sent my RX 6800 away to be repaired only for the shop to keep my card for 3 months and send it back telling me they did not have the software to properly troubleshoot the card. Only thing that was done was a visual inspection of the card for cracks and burned components. Thankfully my wife just happened to be in his city for a business meeting and she picked it up. A waste of $50 in shipping and lots of time. Now I'm still looking for a reputable place here in the Philippines to get the card repaired.

    I am AMAZED and puzzled by this video! Amazed by your immense skills, the multiple-reball of ALL memory chips in one go was epic. The patience and persistence on this item is unbelievable.
    Puzzled because a 2080Ti sells for £350. You put a huge amount of work on that card which is also a no-brand. While it's absolutely fantastic that you managed to fix it, I wonder how much you can charge for such a repair! I don't meant to be rude or patronising in any ways, I'm just wondering how much profitable that can be.
    That said, this is an amazing video, thank you for that and well done! (and remember that Siglent has a web interface and VNC available! :) )

    What is mad is how much abuse these cards can put up with without actually breaking. You can run them with the resistors in the wrong places, run them with broken connections, shorts and then during repair heat it all up several times over and over. Sometimes you'll get broken chips but you can just replace them with another and its fine? Then you fix all the issues and everything runs as id the card was never touched.
    I'd always thought of these cards and other conputer electronics as extremely fragile. One short while powered would fry every chip on the power rail, one diy transistor repair with the wrong value and it's straight to the e-waste bin. But actually, it's just a matter of fixing the issue and everything is fine? So crazy.
