    Guys please: Before you attempt to diagnose GPU for faults, please have the following:
    #1 Multimeter
    #2 GPU it self
    Believe it or not, #2 is often not available.

      is it always the memory? or there are also other factors?

      i think this one is much easier to repair that the other 1660s that i have(it was a Galax with no display but with power) cause the artifacting GPU I've mentioned was also a 1660s(MSI Ventus)

    Thank you very much, you reassured me. I have a computer that fell on the ground while it was working, and when I turned it off after it fell, it did not turn on after that. When I checked it, everything was normal, but the vga circuit I suspected that it had shorts, but after I made sure I found it a small resistance in vga and not outright shorts

    I wanted to let you know that I found your video to be extremely helpful in understanding what's going on under the hood. I'm just starting out learning and it's very important to be taught with sound doctrine. Thank you for helping me understand more than I did yesterday and a little less than what I'll learn from you tomorrow. Because the videos will keep getting better. I'm so sorry for asking this question, but I felt compelled to do so. Would you be so kind and tell me where I can find out every single tool and software that I need to buy to get started. Everything from power harnesses, soldering iron station, cleaners, hand tools, scopes etc... I know it's asking alot and I'm sorry, but I want to get started the right way and a tech is only as good as his tools. Also can I buy a great scope package from you? Or could you recommend a great setup like one I'm sure you have at your shop? Anyway, thank you for a great video!

    Thanks a lot for this guide, it's very useful and understandable. In my case visual inspection looks right, but there is a lot of capacitors in short (3 near the PCI slot connector, and 6 at the back of the core), so I suspect it could be a dead core, but since I'm a beginner, what do you guys think?

    Where does the „global“ or singel enable signal for the controller come from ?
    I already replaced a blown powerstage on a 3,3v plane on a saphire 5500 xt. But although i succesfully removed that short i still have no enable signal on any controller.
    Also i measured 0.4v on the enable pin of the Vcore controller. Wich is according to its datasheet the fault voltage.
    I need to know where the fault has its roots.

    • @heinzkot360
      @heinzkot360 Год назад

      Btw all fuses are good and all power inputs are good in terms of voltage.
      I honestly dont know what the 3.3v rail is for :D and it might help to know where the enable signals are generated in order to seek for another short.
      Pretty sure the powerstage blew because of another issue

    I have a 3060 Ti that gives me code 43 so I want to check what is causing it. GPU-Z can read the BIOS, the VRAM frequency, even the driver but not the size of the VRAM. I dont really get artifacting like most common 43 errors, in fact the card works every time I restart PC, it works for like an hour then the screen goes dark and PC restarts. The funny thing is it passes furmark test and gaming, but again it randomly crashes. I suspect maybe is BIOS chip but I have ZERO knowledge of PCB layouts, or how to use multimeter thats why im here lol but any way to identify BIOS chip and how to test it with multimeter? EDIT: I checked ASUS download center for BIOS update on my GPU but it says there are no new updates for it.
