Probably not their first. The amount of heat you have to inject in that board for even a single joint to melt would have made a disaster if they weren't at least moderately skilled (or at least honest enough to recognize their level). It looks like they flooded the area with flux, tried to use low-melt, it didn't work so they just cut the connector's legs.
THe problem is we watch you do these jobs and some of us can convince ourselves it is something that can be easily repeated by a novice. It's because you are so good that we are so bad, lol. Thank you for all the hard work!
Thank you. This company rocks you mail, it, you fix it, you bill it and ship it back. The correspondence is good. Just wanna say thank you for having a decent business in the good old USA.
Up to now, I always keep watching your video story of you when you were starting out - that iphone 4, 4s? Screen that you cracked several times, I love that story.
I appreciate your knowledge, and especially appreciated your wisdom on focusing on what makes you unique. I don't lack passion, I lack direction. It's one thing to inform people on what the repair process is, it's even greater when you share what truly matters, being unique, and making yourself valuable. Bucking conformity is difficult, sometimes very difficult, but in the end the reward will be greater.
Every human being is Unique and has futurs like no others , we are all special in our own ways , thats why you should always aim at being original NOT A COPY ... Do your own thing .... . .. .. . . i really like it , thank you
Alex, you ARE amazing. I learn more technique and tricks watching you. Yeah, that plunger on the sucker will knock out an LED or even crack a lens. Amazing products, too. You sold me on a sucker and I need some more wick and solder. Maybe something else, too.
If I can repair something, I will. But if I don't have the skill or expertise to repair it, I'll leave it to the pros. It can definitely save money in the long run.
For as many 4090's you repair Alex. I think you deserve a kick back from the companies that make these boards and for the connector manufacturer. I'd like to know who bright idea it was to make gpu's with only one power connector. Your fired! 😅😅 God bless Alex and HELLO!! to Big Boss, your father, mother, sister, wife and kiddos❤🖐🖐
Thank you for all ur great videos. You have got myself back into doing this work and also teaching my sons how to do this trade aswell. You are the best out here.
Yay!!! 🎉 Another NorthridgeFix video!! I know they take you time to record/edit/upload, Alex, but could we PLEASE get videos a bit more frequently? Maybe something like 2 per week, at LEAST, would be nice 👌 Thanks for ALL you do, bud 😃✌️❤️
I low-key wanted to hear Alex joke about how shiny the solder balls were and how one can use them to put on makeup, use them as a security mirror, etc...😂
NorthridgeFix : I think Nvidia should 100 % recall all of the 4080-s preemptively and most definitely all of the 4090-s. This connector is mechanically and electrically too weak for the 641 Watts of quite regular peak power and continuous 530-580 Watts of power consumption that the 4090 draws.
I will bet you that Nvidia will change the connector on the 5000 series in some way and if they do that, people will then know this connector was wack.
Alex, love you videos. Used to have my own electric repair appliance shop. many times a customer would bring in a job they had started and got into trouble If the Hiroshima was too bad I would not work on it... too many problems ... Man ( customer) has to know his limitations
I think it's your fault for the motivation that people get, they watch your videos like me now and get inspired and think they know and can do it themselves 😃 joke aside, great job!
Its kinda unsettling how many people continue to try to do jobs like this with little to zero experience on such a pricy device. I have seen a huge influx of people also wanting to do the rog ally and steam deck ram upgrade. I then ask them to see what equipment they are going to try it with and I kid you not the last guy shows me a soldering iron kit he got on amazon for 40$... im not even joking. The guy thinks you can do bga soldering with a soldering iron..... I have seen it all, so many people just hear soldering, and think because they can solder two wires together on a broken dryer cord they can do the same thing on a 2000$ device at a microscopic level. Please guys have a bit more diligence when it comes to researching the procedures and equipment needed! Equipment alone on some of these devices your going to be spending close or more than the device is worth to do it properly and anything less and your going to ruin said device entirely and end up costing you more than it would to just send it to the experts. I myself have a reflow station and a decent amount of equipment but id never in my wildest dreams attempt bga work or esp a power connector on a 2000$ gpu. I would rather spend the few hundred bucks for the peice of mind that its not only done right, but theres a warranty on the work itself being done.
On thick circuit boards , I lay the area of the board on a small heat plate to pre-heat the area of the board I work on, the heat plate gets up to 500 deg F, or 250 Deg C. it's helps when removing components.
You are the number one board man,if you had of come and seen me 60 years ago l could of taught you a lot. I to old now so take care of this place for a old AU Digger😅😅
Possible suggestion for you. When we used to solder suck boards and were limited with space, we used a small piece of silicon tube on the sucker. It allows to mate to a flat surface but maintains a seal and its heat resistant
I'm going to buy the tools and start fixing shit around, didn't have the balls to fix my wife's macbook but will do it for the the future repairs, hopefully i don't have to 🤞
Big fan of Alex! Not many repair people like him. You can throw anything and he will fix it... If there's a chance! While others will just say "buy a new one". I hope one day I can reach his level and be part of the legacy. I'm a perfectionist and try to be honest and fair allllll the time... Even if life tells me to be another way! But at the end of the day, Pride can't be bought. And you can only have pride if everything you did was for the good. Another day, another lesson. Thank you Alex! 🙂
Long Live Nvidia. If there is no Nvidia you would go bankrupt 😁. I have a feeling that you will have to fix every RTX 4090 out there. I am joking. Good work man.
It's only the 4090's melting nothing else. This card should be powered with the power cord directly from the wall. And they want to launch 600 watt TITAN with 48GB and more cores. Good luck to them.
Respekt for the man who got da balls to try his first soldier job on a 4090 😅
Have to agree with that one. Even though he failed his first attempt, I hope he keeps going and improves his skills.
@@stretchable4647not bad actually, but that guy know when to stop
@@maklogetrich2378 I'm guessing he decided to stop when that connector pulled away from the board without any legs attached and a piece melted off
Yeah, and luckily he also understood when to stop when it didn't work out. I was a small wonder no components were missing from the board.
Probably not their first. The amount of heat you have to inject in that board for even a single joint to melt would have made a disaster if they weren't at least moderately skilled (or at least honest enough to recognize their level).

I think he said exactly that in one of his videos 😂
Funny, watching these jobs makes me feel the exact opposite.
Thank you. This company rocks you mail, it, you fix it, you bill it and ship it back. The correspondence is good. Just wanna say thank you for having a decent business in the good old USA.
We appreciate you, Alex! I do give props to the user who attempted the repair!
Had to fix Yamaha Silent Violin preamp with battery corrosion on it, and you make it look so easy to fix micro components!
Up to now, I always keep watching your video story of you when you were starting out - that iphone 4, 4s? Screen that you cracked several times, I love that story.
Your a Saint for dealing with all these idiots...

were glad we have you in this gereration sir keep going..........
God bless that man who tries it and God bless you Alex who repairs it thanks for sharing your knowledge dear ❤❤❤❤
I really hope you find a company to help with Northridge Fix hot tweezers. It would be a game changer.
Was that a Wal-Mart ONN monitor? Nice.
You are definitely amazing Northridge. One of my favorite channels,
If I can repair something, I will. But if I don't have the skill or expertise to repair it, I'll leave it to the pros. It can definitely save money in the long run.
THIS IS ART. A BEAUTIFUL JOB

It seems so easy... Well done Alex !
Some can and many cannot, thats life. Great vid once again👍
“Or maybe is just me” said one of the best in the world 🤣
Rather than destroy a good board, clip all of the leads off of the bad connector and remove them one at a time.
6:59 *Looks like pin number 3 wanna play games." 🤣
Nice, watching from Down Under! 👍
i wanted to know how many 4080,4090 you have done,love this channel !
Yay!!! 🎉 Another NorthridgeFix video!!
I know they take you time to record/edit/upload, Alex, but could we PLEASE get videos a bit more frequently?

You did an amazing job !
and you're right; we're all amazing in our ways. I'm an amazing viewer. 🥳
Hey sent an E-mail for a quote (3070 FE).. love watching these vids ....very relaxing
amzing job , better that factory 👍👍
Came in for repair.
just from watching youtube doesnt mean you're an expert now
I still have my "NF Solder Sucker" from the 1970's.
Looking at your soldering experience...it is really awesome...many failed...
Alex , you are absolutely, categorically, truly amazing 👏.. 🙌

Look at this Hiroshima, don't hold anything back, lol!
God bless you and your family, how is your new house coming along?
"And we almost all ways ship out next day" Needs to be a T shirt id wear it!😁
I used to solder and make cables during school and IT work... But, I never imagined repairing expensive GPUs 😢

exacly if you dont have the tools or expertise dont attempt it

my god what the heck did that guy think he was doing! to his ~$2,000 graphics card OMG!!! D:
Why not using glue on the connector, would it not break again?
connector is faulty itself
Alex brooooo, hope ur house is treating you good man!!! I am the No1 fan of ur skillful vidoes
You are the number one board man,if you had of come and seen me 60 years ago l could of taught you a lot. I to old now so take care of this place for a old AU Digger😅😅
Alex, the only exception is Air Jordans. It will definitely make you play better basketball 😆
Another great job, well done!
Nvidia can make money because ..all this people are conned ..
A very expensive GPU but with a very weak power connector.
Nvidia didn't care because they knew their loyal fans will purchase their product.
More like people don't have options, I know AMD is there and then Intel but for certain works Nvidia GPUs are the best.
Serious suction. LOL Great work Alex.:)
What is that green liquid for that you used in the end? It looks like it was for repairing the scratches on the board.
You Alex are not amazing but you are created with limits.
"Tell me that I am not amazing..." now that got me laughing 😂
Possible suggestion for you. When we used to solder suck boards and were limited with space, we used a small piece of silicon tube on the sucker. It allows to mate to a flat surface but maintains a seal and its heat resistant
Better than factory, amazing work as usual.
Better to use the NF Sucker instead of copper to absorb, save costs.
I'm going to buy the tools and start fixing shit around, didn't have the balls to fix my wife's macbook but will do it for the the future repairs, hopefully i don't have to 🤞
Its like a doctor so careful 😮😮
We all have to start somewhere.
He is right, better than factory.
ouch.
BETTER THAN FACTORY!
You get down, my dude.
You ARE amazing 😁
8:30 Could you have just sucked the pin with the solder?
Thank you Alex👍🙏🏻
shoil make a coilwine repair on a gpu and se if u can get it to go away
Masterful!

Does the NF.Sucker beat an ENGINEER SS-02?
Better than Factory Best Speed Repair business 😊
Great work
Somebody has to come up with a double decker socket for this card.
9:45 oof this is a clear jab at NW lmao
Fantastic!
have you ever try to repair a pc psu? i don't know if you have a video on that subjet?
i think it is nagasaki not hiroshima😂😂😂
YOU ARE THE BEST !!!!!!~~~~~~
I find you videos educational thank you
Long Live Nvidia.
If there is no Nvidia you would go bankrupt 😁.
I have a feeling that you will have to fix every RTX 4090 out there.
I am joking.
Good work man.
Amazing 😮
You are amazing sir.
as always joking while working .......very nice sir.......
You said to tell you that you are not amazing. Sorry to dissappoint. Mad skillz!
Buy a 2 grand card just to be paranoid over it melting.
You are absolutly amazing🎉
Nvidia makes trillions and use cheap connectors .....it's time they use metal connectors
Bhai, ringer se vaise mane aaj tak ear par laga kr sunte hue nahi dekha ki kaan khrab ho
!!!Better than factory!!!
Amazing you are amazing!
Excellent 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I keep coming for amd 7900xt,xtx repairs but looks like there isn't many needing fixing hmmmm
It's only the 4090's melting nothing else. This card should be powered with the power cord directly from the wall. And they want to launch 600 watt TITAN with 48GB and more cores. Good luck to them.
I just wonder why he did that….. I have asus Rog rtx4080 and they give you 3 year warrantee on the card
If you could ask customer it would solve my curiosity!!! Thank you sir
Maybe he watercooled it and broke the warranty seal?
Wooo good answer,, I thin your correct sir 😮
I have same design gpu in 4080!!! It is dope card!! Runs gta v in max setting at 62c and pretty quiet
Amount of 4090 sent to repair is staggering.
