bought a GTX 1050ti Rog Strix plugged it into my computer started up has signal assumed windows 10 would install drivers I was just testing it , so I update windows too make sure drivers are installed when I goto manager the display is windows default wth , so I open up gpuz and Cpuz and it shows GP107 but no brand name and no other information !!!! so it is a 1050ti and shows 4GB but thats it and thats all should I goto ASUS website and install drivers directly from their as befor I was using a asus 1060 dual 3gb ? .. eas planning on using this 1050 ti rog strix for a build too sell I paid 140$ for it in the box with all papers in Canada !!!! I was going too pair it with a X58 micron mobo and a i7 970 6 core and 16gb triple channel !! figured should be a very decent pc when built ….happy Covid 19 build !!! PS I go and find deals with a N95 mask on and literally hand sanitizer on me always lol I get my parts home and sanitize them hahahahaha
My friend spilled a soda on his cyberpower pc and the warranty provided him with a brand new pc. He gave me the “broken” 1050 ti for free, it was caked in soda residue and dog hair. I took the heat sync off and scrubbed it with a toothbrush and rubbing alcohol and voila problem solved. Now it works perfectly fine
@Yeshua Carrasquillo try booting in safe mode if it works in safe mode it’s probably a hardware problem and if it’s still crashing after you redownload windows and new gpu drivers replace the paste and it should work
The idea behind heatgunning a pcb is to fix dead solder joints. This works best when you start with the back side of the pcb. "Toast" it for around 5 minutes until you can see a slight colour shift of the solder. Than put on some gloves and quickly flip the pcb to the front side. Give it another 5 min of heat and let it cool down afterwards. The dead solder joint should be fixed now. A good idea before starting, is to heat shield all caps. They are the components most likely to break during "toasting" a pcb. When the capacitors are shielded you can go all in with the heat, which is needed to increase the change of really making the solder reflow and therefore fixing that dead solder joint. Sry for my bad english!
This is madness, there's no repair involved, it's just sort of a cleaning with fingers crossed. There's no analysis, no documentation, nothing, just luck.
My son got robbed buying a faulty graphics card and was crying, the next day I found this video, after watching I said you know what iv got nothing to lose, so honestly I went to my shed opened it up sprayed wd40 and melted it with my heat gun put it back together and back in pc and it worked, my son was so happy he's now got a £800 card that was broken now working, he now has the last laugh thanks to this video, absolutely priceless seeing him smile thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍
When I play games on my pc suddenly my pc reboots and pink dots appear all over my monitor screen and Nvidia control panel is not there when I right click on the desktop. How to fix it? If u have any solution do let me know.
Your advises saved my day. I had this Radeon 270X which was starting the PC but not any visual. I cleaned the rusty as I have examined hdmi port and now works like new. I had it on the shelf for 8 months and running pc from mobo VGA, and no willing to pay for an overpriced card. I support your channel and endorsements. Many greetings to beautiful Australia. Thank you.
Hi Tech Yes, I wanted to let you know I fixed my GPU with heat gun and I don't need to buy a new one for now. Your videos helped and saved me from forking out for an overpriced gpu especially when money is tight. I'm happy the 1050ti was out of stock now :D I heated the gpu to 150c for 5-8mins raised up on foil balls whilst protecting the other components with aluminium foil with a square cut out. A thermometer that updated the temp quickly was placed near the chip helped ontrol the heat. Left it for 20-30mins to cool down, put back together and now it's working better than ever! I read every comment on the Tech yes lovin GPU fixing vids and i'm happy you made them despite what the haters were saying.
I've tried the heatgun method a few times but I've found it easier to just take the card apart, clean it, jack it up on some tinfoil on a plate and put it in a pre-heated oven for 10 minutes at 197 degrees Celcius. This re-solders everything just like a heatgun. Take it out after 10 minutes and let it cool down, reassemble and see if it works
@@DJMcMahon6740 Yeah, I was mainly wondering about the temperature, since convection usually has to be set to a lower temp to get the same results when baking.
Just wanted to give you big props Bryan. Many tech tubers are turning into clickbait reaction channels, or shilling hard. To paraphrase Frito Pendejo, they like money, money's good. Meanwhile you continue to share valuable info with others like myself that do it as a side hussle. Your insight on hardware fixes, odd compatibility issues, etc. is invaluable to saving me time and frustration on troubleshoots. Gratitude! Good sir.
This video inspired me to give a 1080Ti that I had given to me that was decalred 'GONE' three times (burned out mosfet), even after I took it to a repair shop. I gave it a bit of love and a deep clean, said a few prayers and BAM! Free 1080Ti baby!!!! Aorus Extreme at that. Thanks for the inspiration to give it one last go Bryan :D
Tried it and it's working! Instead of using WD-40 I used isopropyl alcohol. Using that is a bit easier, because it evaporates on its own without having to blow it dry.
@@TheCRTProductions can you explain little bit about different manufacturer market for GPUs? which manufacturer tuned Nvidia GPUs are the best? at least 1st to 5th?
@@MethmalDhananjaya MSI or Asus first or second. then the third is Gigabyte. and other brands like KFA2 or Hall of Fame or other third brands are not that good as the first 3
Mad respect man, This method actually brought an Asus phoenix 1050ti back to life that someone gave me to me saying it's dead .... after months laying in my shelf, your detailed video on how to clean and use the heat gun on it was exceptional. Plus I had nothing to lose since when I first got it and tried it. It was completely dead to the point it stopped my pc from even booting up with a memory error. Keep up the great work✌
I actually had the issue with black screen and fans going 100% which turned out to be my motherboard power delivery. Thought it was the graphics card, so took a while to diagnose. Love the content as always.
When drivers are installed and initializing, the core vrm is switching from boot/safety -mode to "regular operation". If the thing failed at this point, it's ofter a problem with the vrm or bad capacitors (e.g. from previous overheating).
Before trying any of the drastic suggestions in this video, test the gpu with an older driver! I picked up a cheap 1060 3GB from ebay that didn't work with drivers later than a certain version. After a bit of Google-fu I found the cause to be a particular vbios revision used on early cards from a select few manufacturers. Reflashing to a newer vbios completely fixed the issue.
What is the name of the manufacturer that made your specific card? Also do you remember what other manufacturers made cards with this issue? Any detailed info is appreciated! Thanks! PS> I dabble around in repairing old GPU's in order to donate or resell (at a minimal profit) to gamers that are actually in need of a graphics card, but not able to acquire one due to the silicon chip shortage.
Have you ever thought about setting up a thermal camera to check your temperatures when using the heat gun? This could help you tune in exactly what temp each area of the card gets to.
Saw this vid and thought I'd have a go at fixing my old gtx660. I tried giving it a good clean with WD40 and contact cleaner, also reapplied new thermal paste and nothing, didn't work. However I did notice a tiny SMD capacitor looked like it had got prrtty hot as the area around it looked a little heat blasted. After cleaning the card I couldnt see which one it was though! So I thought well.. nothing to lose and tried to guess. I pulled it off gently and soldered another cmd capacitor on that I had on another bit of broken tech and it actually works! Not sure to what degree but I had no video output and now I do! And its the dodgiest bit of soldering work ever. Lets hope it lasts!
@7:29 happens when you don't clean the dust off your components and you live in a relatively humid area. The dust draws moisture out of the air and starts to create rust spots over time. Yea olde PC cases loved to do this on fan grills, especially the front grill that was hidden behind the riveted-on front panel. It may looks yuck with the yellowish tinge but it is just a very thin layer of rust.
7:25 - how - salt in the air and high humidity living near ocean or sea comes to mind, or pc was just on the floor in the kitchen Those metals and PCBs can take a bit of abuse, but in general you want it cool and dry, dont have a spot of rust on 10 years old pc.
Just something I'll throw out there - I was watching a guy who specialises in high end hi-fi stuff - he was saying it's fairly common for HDMI cables to return low voltage to the source, potentially damaging the equipment. So basically disconnect HDMI leads when not in use. Its a pain in the butt, sure - but better than replacing a $400 component. He'd gone through 6 amps in 1 year before he picked up on it, and I was watching because I'd gone through two - disconnecting the HDMI - no more issues. To be clear - I still use HDMI, but I disconnect the cable when not using it.
@@JamieR Sorry - I have no source material and cannot verify - but I can say the only reason I was looking into it in the first place was weird electrical issues - in my case lots of broken TV's - in his lot of broken Amps... he traced it to the HDMI cables... all I can tell you is since disconnecting HDMI when not using.... no hardware has died. But connected - things needed replacing fairly often. Now to be fair, I live high up a hill in rural Spain... not the best electric supply. But clearly still an issue. Feedback voltage is a thing - if you're remote like me. I'm guessing it comes down to which model and quality of HDMI cable - but simply the fact it can feed back and destroy your Amp / TV? Yeah, at that point DP and an external amp start to sound good... Sorry I can't quote the source - My bad on that. But the advice given worked for me.
Hey Bryan, here's a tip: Next time when you try the heatgun method, try getting hold of a soldering flux paste tube. I've had a lot more success than doing dry reflows like you did. The reason is that the flux acts like rosin core on the solder balls and helps the solder stick a little better ;)
@@phylwx Around the GPU sides. The heat from the gun will melt the flux and it should go unser the GPU (alternatively direct the way the flux will go using the gun, by tilting it so that the paste goes UNDER the GPU)
I have a MSI GTX 1650 OC V2 edition (with 6 pin connector) , its core clock is just stuck at 300MHz while it should be at 1410MHz even at 100% :( Faulty GPU? Cuz i dont think its the power supply :(
WARNING: The heatgun method is not guaranteed, it could even make things worse! HOWEVER, when you get as desperate as I was... anything is better than having your GTX 1080 Ti sitting on your desk as a paper weight. My video card would boot but immediately hard crash the entire PC the second I did anything GPU heavy like games, webcam, or photoshop. To fix the issue... after literally trying EVERYTHING else on the internet... all I did was scrub the entire card down with WD40 using a toothbrush, gently removed all excess WD40 with a micro fiber (it's okay if the card is still greasy when you plug it in because WD40 is non-conductive), placed the card on top of 4 leveled aluminum balls that I made by hand, blasted it with my heatgun set to high for about 12 minutes, and then left it alone for about 15 minutes so that it could cool down. I then reapplied some thermal paste and plugged it into my PC... got a blue screen of death (probably because it was still a bit hot)... rebooted the PC and bingo bango the GPU was able to pass a UserBenchMark test with flying colors! Webcam works, games play at max FPS, and photoshop renders like a dream. My only word of advice to anyone desperate enough to try this method is that (1) there's a 50/50 chance it won't work and (2) there are a lot of online reviews claiming that this is only a "temporary" fix and that the card will slowly start to fail again within a few months... so enjoy the results while they last and start saving up just in case your GPU only gets a few months of mileage out of this amazing life hack! XD
@@hayder978 Holy crap, I totally forgot I wrote this lol. Yes, my 1080 Ti is still working perfectly good. I honestly can't believe that it's been 8 months since it died! XD
@@lumberfoot_jpg Thanks for writing up the detailed comment 8 months ago, and thanks for the feedback. Now that you said it worked for you, I am encouraged to do it. Nothing to lose and perhaps its worth it if it will work in long term.
@@hayder978 I did not do that. You can try if you want... but I think just heating up the GPU is enough to melt any micro holes that may exists on the card.
I like your channel and you seem like a decent enough person so I'll let you in on a few key pointers. First of all, I was formally trained to work on aviation electronics (avionics) for the U.S. Army. I worked with ..let's just say much more complicated circuits. A GPU has very few components because the majority of the work is done on the GPU DIE. About 85% of the circuitry your left with is power delivery. This is where I find most GPUs fail. Usually, a less than $2.00 part know as a MOSFET driver is responsible for power on issues like post, boot, etc. The "mystery problem" you described where a GPU acts fine up to when you put in it's drivers is due to the fact that until the GPU is running off a fully compatible driver and not some Windows VGA default the main power to your GPU (VIA the 6+2 pin PCIe connectors) is not used. The GPU uses power from the PCIe bus in its VGA mode alone. Once you install the driver the GPU then opens the power stages from the 6+2 Pin (Or multiple PCIe power lines) and the section of the power staging responsible for getting that power to the GPU is failing thus leading to the black screens. Also, you didn't push thermals enough my friend. Thermals gimped the Vega GPUs severely and they are, in fact, very powerful computational GPUs but do suffer from a high rate of failure due to thermals. HBM and HBM2 can not handle high temperatures yet are infamous for their heat output. It's the only GPU that can go from running fine to BSODs over a matter of 20MHz in some cases. The Gigabyte version of this card suffers from poor engineering of HBM2 heat dissipation. The cars are fine with some new 1mm thermal pads and an aggressive fan curve. I have one that kept locking after I purchased it on eBay and the seller claimed they couldn't refund my money ($770). My choice was simple if there were more GPUs to buy but in this case, I just got out my tools and fixed the GPU as I at least had it in my possession lol.
hey mate, Dead R9 390 with the same symptoms, dead on driver install. besides super obvious things like burn marks (none Visible) what would you be looking for to diagnose a bad component on the PCB? temp? discoloration?
Have to say a massive thanks for posting this. I fixed 7979 with bad artifacts, gtx 660 that didn't even show in bios and a Rx 570 that crashed under load. All had the tech yes loving, brake cleaner and a heat gun 👍👍😃👍👍👍👍👍
For the heat gun denying people, let them look up how to fix the old xbox red ring of death used to be baking it in the oven or with a towel as they had weak solder points and the silicon often needed to expand a bit to reform connections. So it can work a lot of the time not always and its not perfect you could easily apply too much or too little heat unknowingly too.
Yeah I've had faulty VRAM being the number one issue for me with GPU's it just seems to degrade the quickest out of any part. I owned a Sapphire R9 390 for like 2 years just out of warranty, and it starts glitching out on me in-game with the issue getting worse as time goes on. It's definitely something that's had me sticking to more reliable brands like EVGA, MSI, or Asus.
the black screen appears and fans start spinning usually when there is too much vibration or too low power, this sometimes happens to me when i move the pc case while the computer is doing something.
This video just saved me some money and time. My PC has been crashing constantly during games. I've tried everything under the sun to my abilities to fix it but nothing. I was waiting to hear back from a company for an appointment and watched this in between. Decided to check my display port. The cord had some rusting developing. Ordered a new display port cord, made sure my port to the gpu was clean, and now it is running games again like before. Thanks!!!
Also when using the heat gun, It could be a good idea to put a lot of flux on the card so that an potential corrosion can fixed under the bga packages like memory and gpu core. As I have seen Louis Rossman do to repair bga chips on apple products.
The thing is on GPU's 90% of the time its not actually the BGA solder balls that are the issue. The solder cracking that people talk about is between the die and the substrate, not between the chip and the PCB. In the end heat-gunning a card isn't fixing it, its a temporary 'repair' at best, for some it may last another year or more, for most it'll work for 3 months, then 2, then 1 and then not at all.
@g6qwerty did that on my old dying GT 440 and it is back in service, at least for now. it's been just a couple of months though. my son use it almost daily for play games such as CS:GO and Roblox and it still works fine.
@@radius.indrawan Oh yeah it will work, but the chance of it failing is very very high, if/when it fails again just beware that although you can revive it again it'll last less each time. The thing that kills it is temperature variation, so you might find if its left turned off on a cold night that will be when it dies.
@@chrissmith4766 i see.. well, when it fails again within a year or more, at least it has bought me some time to save my money for a new graphic card. and when the time comes, i hope i have a better deal for my money than today. plus hey, i have a card for some "electronic repair experiments", right? ;-)
@@radius.indrawan Of course! :) Its definitely worth doing at home to get more life out of a card! Its only when people do this and then sell them that its a problem. Hopefully it'll last you until they want something more powerful anyway :P. Its always fun to mess around with them, for a lot of the older cards you can order replacement chips from China that come with the BGA solder balls already glued on underneath, in theory all it would require is heatgunning the old chip off, wicking up the leftover solver then lining up the new chip and heating again. That said, its probably easier to pick up an old Kepler card for £20 :P, assuming the seller didn't reflow their card before sale..
When u have this issue with the one your referring to with the faulty gpus u havent been able to fix. You need a multi meter and check fuse if.not that its prolly either a cap or mosfet. Sometimes a vrm
Good info man! I had a faulty Gigabyte Winforce GTX 560 which had the screen full of horizontal lines as soon as the PC started up and even in Windows. Reloaded BIOS and nothing happened. Didn't have a heat gun so I simply opened the card, cleaned the thermal paste off with alcohol, took the hair dryer, heated it up for 10 minutes straight on the GPU chip, left it to cool down, re-assembled everything and BOOM ... working even better than before.
Don't freaking believe this. Yesterday I revived my 390x and today a 7950. Ran some benchmarks on the 7950 and all looks good. Can't say enough how glad I am I watched your channel!
@@splase1 washed the boards down in WD40 & then soaked them down good with electrical contact cleaner. The 3 7950's were still working when I put them back in the closet, the 390x lasted a few weeks. I ran the 7950's in pairs for a few months before boxing them back up. Only thing left to try on the 390x is heat, I guess. If that doesn't work I'll sell the waterblock.
its a wild guess, but i think the rx580 has a problem with the power sensing in the NCP pwm controller, which might reports a wrong power limit violation and the card power throttles. apparently its easy to mod this particular pwm controller into "disabling" the power limit.
Dude I love you, thank you so much for that rust suggestion of taking the port in and out a lot of times. It fixed my bricked card thank you so much!!!
In MSI Afterburner settings there a force voltage control and readout option for AMD GPU's. It works with good with older AMD GPU's that don't have software support to control the voltage. It can also force higher GPU and memory clock frequencies.
I bought an r9 270x in 2015 in 2017 not showing any signels at start fans run for a second or two then stops.....i saw a video....he said to put it in pre heated ovan for 4-3 minutes at 120 degree Celsius so i did.....i was dumb I kept it upside down.....and after 3 minutes the capacitor started to bust and some parts did fell down....well id replaced the capacitor with similar ones and it started......i play nfs payback at rock solid 60fps in 720p on high settings with i5 3330s.
@@karanshirke6538 you should use a oven with ventilation inside, so the heat gets spreaded, to prevent capaciters to fall. Also you shoud not put the card up side down, if the solder melts the capaciters wont fall. 👍
@@karanshirke6538 120 dregree, thats not really possible to melt it with 120 degree. Actally lead free tin has amelting point of 280. these stories are strange.
Instead of a headgun I used to put them in the oven at 80°C for 5 minutes. Works for me very well over the last years. The heatgun is still a good option for non-removable laptop-GPUs.
If you are not sure if your replacement thermal pad is making proper contact, just put a bead of thermal paste on the pad, you can then tell if it's being properly squished.
Fantastic! My watercooled 390x quit recently, and then I saw this video this morning......went to the store and got some WD40, disassembled the card and sprayed hell out of it. I did follow up with some electrical switch cleaner (non oily type!) Reassembled with stock cooler and I'll be darned! It's working! Cleaning should be a no brainer but your vid got me insipired to put the effort in. Good stuff.
Funny how i fixed my 980ti with this method, I had already bought an RTX 2070, so when I saw this video I cleaned the motherboard with spirit and scrubbed gently with a toothbrush, used a heat gun on the motherboard then added a new processor temp paste. My 980ti is now as good as new :), working perfectly. Thanks again for this video. It saved my 980ti.
One question: aren't you afraid that you could exceed the RPM of the fans (in general) when you blow them for dust without holding the blades down? Cheers mate
Think this is less of isue with modern fans but in saying that I've herd story's in past about people taking there hardware totally out of the game altogether doing so personaly wouldn't risk it
@@rossmclaughlin7158 I'm one of those guys. I managed to kill about 4 fans in my system back in the 2010s. Granted now with fluid bearing and maglevs not that much of an issue. Cheers.
Nah not scared at all of it ruining the bearings, the worst thing im scared of is the datavac hitting the fan blade which I have busted a few MSI fanblades doing that on older cards lol. Mind you I don't sit there and feed it for 5 minutes straight, its usually 5 second bursts at best.
I don't know what to say... I'm going to download your video for my personal storage dude. With each video I watch from you I learn something new and really makes my life easier. THX Brian, for saving me money :) HF & GL (And also keep up the good work!)
Man the method works, I just brought mine to life after it stopped yesterday for no reason , 5 minutes with my hotgun station , and Im writing this comment using the same PC , thanks man
I'm imagining a maniac looking guy with the heat gun after this video going Kabonkers on the faulty GPU feeling like he is bringing Frankentein to life !
Actually there is one other thing i recommend please dont use smart fan control on your graphics card i have seen so many radeons and nvidia cards that failed completely dead no bringing them back because users thought the driver software would kick on the fans at a certain temp they never came on and they roasted the card use msi afterburner for your fan speeds save a card
On the rx580 one of the diodes in the voltage regulator is gone, you need to check and replace the faulty one, the glitching is due to the card switching power states constantly
Hi from Brazil, i think that one or more of the vrm phases on the card is faulty, so the gpu core clock goes all over the place, switching power states, good luck.
Man I just want to say thanks. I had try a lot of stuff and nothing worked. My last try was your sugestion to use a heat blower to try revive my GPU and works. It's a RX 580 and this week it not turn on or spin the fans. Your method just worked and now it works fine and the GPU is reconized in my PC. Thanks a lot !!!!!!
how do you fix a gpu that gives me no signal black screens when playing a game and fans speed up and have to reboot whole pc to for screen to come back??
Brian, I've got a gpu, an r9 270x, that will work perfect for the first 30 seconds or so in the machine. runs just fine in bios for however long, but when I start into windows, it's a ticking time bomb. after 30 seconds, just black screen. Very rarely an artifacted screen. Have had the card for 4 years, stopped a couple of years ago, have always kept it around as it's not like any of my other busted gpus! Any ideas? Cheers!
How big is the cooler for it? It didn't have a tiny heatsink like this one in the video did it? Cause that could be the problem, also try heatgun it like I did here if all else doesn't work (last resort).
I've brought a couple of laptop motherboards back to life using the 'oven' method. I also underclocked their GPUs (which seemed instinctively logical at the time) to make sure my customers got the most of their obviously used laptops for office use. Most technicians here in Tetouan, Morocco say that the heat gun method works for a month, and since I hate how unimaginative technicians here are, I had to think of something a bit creative, that is, underclocking the GPU. Most technicians here focus on the hardware, and when it comes to software, they're practically illiterate except for the part where they memorize certain button clicks like it's some ancient knowledge passed down through generations. Lmao
If you're going to try heat, first (when the gpu is powered on, with the shroud off), point a heat camera at it because you might have a short circuit causing the problem such as a melted soldering trace and that might show up as a hotspot on the heat-camera. It might be your reflowing-action from the hot air or oven is somewhat fixing that (but it might need desoldering and resoldering - but be careful if a hot component chip or asic is BGA). At least you'd see in the thermal-camera though. It helps a lot of you have an identical GPU card to compare thermal-camera footage to see what the heat displacement 'should' look like on camera.
I always thought that those round coolers look kinda small too. Maybe the GPU would have needed to be re-flowed if they used a good cooler. I always like to see a nice big rectangular heatsink with heat pipes. That is the single reason a graphics card takes up so much space, the big heatsinks. I also don't care much for the coolers that come with a CPU. They are only good enough if you don't already have a better one. I don't care much for a loud whiny fan but that is what you get with a smaller one typically. I have a Corsair A70 and it has larger fans than a stock cooler boxed with a CPU normally would have. It is quieter because it doesn't have to spin as fast. If that is somehow too much for your ears, mine even came with special cables that you can optionally use to limit the power to them. I never needed them and I do hear all noises too, it is just that my fans are not loud. They are not some new design or anything but they are still pretty good.
my friend gave me his gtx 1050ti a few years back when it died it had the display driver crash issue and i did the heatgun method and it came back to life and has been working with a memory and core clock overclock since and is on almost 24/7, obviously not on full load all the time but it works great.
Diego Rivera I did mine for 20 mins about 2/3rds to 3/4 of the way up on the heat gun, not sure what the wattage of my heart in is I believe it’s a 1000 watt heat gun. It was my first time doing it and I haven’t done it in a while but I focused mainly on the core but also made sure to spend a fair bit of time on the memory and then the rest of the board got probably 3 or so mins. Hope that helps and good luck
A thousand points for that Law & Order DUM DUM. :D I have a few fudgy cards I plan on having a go at repairing using my Quick, not gotten round to it yet as they're only an old 8800GT and GTX 570. Re faulty VRAM, I suppose there is potential there to swap the bad IC for one from a donor card, but that would require some more detailed meddling a la Louis Rossmann style. I do have a GTX 580 3GB I want to fix sometime (got the relevant microscope, etc.), maybe commiechan lockdown will give me the time to at last look at it. :D
Corrosion of circuit parts in a graphics card also is a culprit of no video signal and may addresd the graphics card is already DOA. Maybe something to look out for also 😣
It happens in costal areas they have salt in the air and humity anything even a car starts to rust withing a year is use my bottom engine cover which lasts for over a yearb easy will rip off like a bandaid in costal areas.

The only reason I did not go with the ASRock Taichi motherboard (like the one advertised) is because its VRM's tend to get a little warm. Being that I am running a 9900k, which also tends to run warm, I went with another option. Obviously this only applies to the z390 chipset. If anyone is considering this motherboard with a different CPU/chipset... I would strongly recommend! The reviews on it are really good!!!

It works btw. I had a gpu that died like 3+ years ago at least i thought it did. My new gpu was dying too. I had the code 43(or 34 dont remember prob 43) and the whole day i was trying to fix it. The at the end of the day i lost hope tried this with the hot air gun(if you call it that) and it worked. So basically my old gpu that i thought died came back to life and word of advice never throw away old parta you never know when you'll need then. Unless you are rich then just buy a new pc.
@@neophobicnyctophile8264 it’s a spray found only in Australia similar to wd-40, but doesn’t leave a residue. Wd-40 actually makes a spray specifically for spraying down electronics like motherboards and graphics cards that doesn’t leave a residue either.
I baked my entire card in the oven (removed anything plastic or covered them with foil paper) worked like a charm. Did this for a MacBook pro that had display issues, also worked. Sold them after (let the people know and I sold for cheaper because of it) they have been working for 5 years so far!

@Yeshua Carrasquillo reason I think so that your gpu crash you need to re install driver
Or clean your gpu change thermal paste
Lucky bastar
@Yeshua Carrasquillo try booting in safe mode if it works in safe mode it’s probably a hardware problem and if it’s still crashing after you redownload windows and new gpu drivers replace the paste and it should work
Sounds like a plan
The idea behind heatgunning a pcb is to fix dead solder joints. This works best when you start with the back side of the pcb. "Toast" it for around 5 minutes until you can see a slight colour shift of the solder. Than put on some gloves and quickly flip the pcb to the front side. Give it another 5 min of heat and let it cool down afterwards. The dead solder joint should be fixed now. A good idea before starting, is to heat shield all caps. They are the components most likely to break during "toasting" a pcb. When the capacitors are shielded you can go all in with the heat, which is needed to increase the change of really making the solder reflow and therefore fixing that dead solder joint. Sry for my bad english!
This is madness, there's no repair involved, it's just sort of a cleaning with fingers crossed. There's no analysis, no documentation, nothing, just luck.
Well. You gotta start somewhere.
Always start easiest solutions
Its not luck its called knowing what you're doing
Thanks for the insight Karen!

My son got robbed buying a faulty graphics card and was crying, the next day I found this video, after watching I said you know what iv got nothing to lose, so honestly I went to my shed opened it up sprayed wd40 and melted it with my heat gun put it back together and back in pc and it worked, my son was so happy he's now got a £800 card that was broken now working, he now has the last laugh thanks to this video, absolutely priceless seeing him smile thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍

When I play games on my pc suddenly my pc reboots and pink dots appear all over my monitor screen and Nvidia control panel is not there when I right click on the desktop. How to fix it? If u have any solution do let me know.
Your advises saved my day. I had this Radeon 270X which was starting the PC but not any visual. I cleaned the rusty as I have examined hdmi port and now works like new. I had it on the shelf for 8 months and running pc from mobo VGA, and no willing to pay for an overpriced card.

Thank you.
Hi Tech Yes, I wanted to let you know I fixed my GPU with heat gun and I don't need to buy a new one for now. Your videos helped and saved me from forking out for an overpriced gpu especially when money is tight. I'm happy the 1050ti was out of stock now :D
I heated the gpu to 150c for 5-8mins raised up on foil balls whilst protecting the other components with aluminium foil with a square cut out. A thermometer that updated the temp quickly was placed near the chip helped ontrol the heat. Left it for 20-30mins to cool down, put back together and now it's working better than ever!
I read every comment on the Tech yes lovin GPU fixing vids and i'm happy you made them despite what the haters were saying.
I've tried the heatgun method a few times but I've found it easier to just take the card apart, clean it, jack it up on some tinfoil on a plate and put it in a pre-heated oven for 10 minutes at 197 degrees Celcius. This re-solders everything just like a heatgun. Take it out after 10 minutes and let it cool down, reassemble and see if it works
Use to do this with old playstations that'd crap out due to excessive heat

Keep up the great work✌
I actually had the issue with black screen and fans going 100% which turned out to be my motherboard power delivery. Thought it was the graphics card, so took a while to diagnose. Love the content as always.
When drivers are installed and initializing, the core vrm is switching from boot/safety -mode to "regular operation". If the thing failed at this point, it's ofter a problem with the vrm or bad capacitors (e.g. from previous overheating).
So what does one do then
@@Jupa change capacitors
Before trying any of the drastic suggestions in this video, test the gpu with an older driver!
I picked up a cheap 1060 3GB from ebay that didn't work with drivers later than a certain version.
After a bit of Google-fu I found the cause to be a particular vbios revision used on early cards from a select few manufacturers.
Reflashing to a newer vbios completely fixed the issue.
What is the name of the manufacturer that made your specific card? Also do you remember what other manufacturers made cards with this issue? Any detailed info is appreciated! Thanks! PS> I dabble around in repairing old GPU's in order to donate or resell (at a minimal profit) to gamers that are actually in need of a graphics card, but not able to acquire one due to the silicon chip shortage.
@@rodneyg1989 it was a gtx 1060 3gb from Palit. (Single fan version)
I have an MSI GTX 1060 6GB OC that is experiencing the same issue. Where did you find an updated "Certified" vbios for yours?
Have you ever thought about setting up a thermal camera to check your temperatures when using the heat gun? This could help you tune in exactly what temp each area of the card gets to.
*[NorthRidgeFix entered chat]*
😎😄
Saw this vid and thought I'd have a go at fixing my old gtx660. I tried giving it a good clean with WD40 and contact cleaner, also reapplied new thermal paste and nothing, didn't work. However I did notice a tiny SMD capacitor looked like it had got prrtty hot as the area around it looked a little heat blasted. After cleaning the card I couldnt see which one it was though! So I thought well.. nothing to lose and tried to guess. I pulled it off gently and soldered another cmd capacitor on that I had on another bit of broken tech and it actually works! Not sure to what degree but I had no video output and now I do! And its the dodgiest bit of soldering work ever. Lets hope it lasts!
Ho damn good for you!

@7:29 happens when you don't clean the dust off your components and you live in a relatively humid area. The dust draws moisture out of the air and starts to create rust spots over time. Yea olde PC cases loved to do this on fan grills, especially the front grill that was hidden behind the riveted-on front panel. It may looks yuck with the yellowish tinge but it is just a very thin layer of rust.
7:25 - how - salt in the air and high humidity
living near ocean or sea comes to mind, or pc was just on the floor in the kitchen
Those metals and PCBs can take a bit of abuse, but in general you want it cool and dry, dont have a spot of rust on 10 years old pc.
Just something I'll throw out there - I was watching a guy who specialises in high end hi-fi stuff - he was saying it's fairly common for HDMI cables to return low voltage to the source, potentially damaging the equipment. So basically disconnect HDMI leads when not in use. Its a pain in the butt, sure - but better than replacing a $400 component. He'd gone through 6 amps in 1 year before he picked up on it, and I was watching because I'd gone through two - disconnecting the HDMI - no more issues. To be clear - I still use HDMI, but I disconnect the cable when not using it.
Does he have any youtube channel or any documentation? That's messed up if it's true
@@JamieR Sorry - I have no source material and cannot verify - but I can say the only reason I was looking into it in the first place was weird electrical issues - in my case lots of broken TV's - in his lot of broken Amps... he traced it to the HDMI cables... all I can tell you is since disconnecting HDMI when not using.... no hardware has died. But connected - things needed replacing fairly often. Now to be fair, I live high up a hill in rural Spain... not the best electric supply. But clearly still an issue. Feedback voltage is a thing - if you're remote like me. I'm guessing it comes down to which model and quality of HDMI cable - but simply the fact it can feed back and destroy your Amp / TV? Yeah, at that point DP and an external amp start to sound good... Sorry I can't quote the source - My bad on that. But the advice given worked for me.
Hey Bryan, here's a tip:
Next time when you try the heatgun method, try getting hold of a soldering flux paste tube. I've had a lot more success than doing dry reflows like you did. The reason is that the flux acts like rosin core on the solder balls and helps the solder stick a little better ;)
@NirvanaShotgun Really? how and where do you apply the soldering paste?
@@phylwx Around the GPU sides. The heat from the gun will melt the flux and it should go unser the GPU (alternatively direct the way the flux will go using the gun, by tilting it so that the paste goes UNDER the GPU)
I have a MSI GTX 1650 OC V2 edition (with 6 pin connector) , its core clock is just stuck at 300MHz while it should be at 1410MHz even at 100% :(
Faulty GPU? Cuz i dont think its the power supply :(
WARNING: The heatgun method is not guaranteed, it could even make things worse! HOWEVER, when you get as desperate as I was... anything is better than having your GTX 1080 Ti sitting on your desk as a paper weight. My video card would boot but immediately hard crash the entire PC the second I did anything GPU heavy like games, webcam, or photoshop. To fix the issue... after literally trying EVERYTHING else on the internet... all I did was scrub the entire card down with WD40 using a toothbrush, gently removed all excess WD40 with a micro fiber (it's okay if the card is still greasy when you plug it in because WD40 is non-conductive), placed the card on top of 4 leveled aluminum balls that I made by hand, blasted it with my heatgun set to high for about 12 minutes, and then left it alone for about 15 minutes so that it could cool down. I then reapplied some thermal paste and plugged it into my PC... got a blue screen of death (probably because it was still a bit hot)... rebooted the PC and bingo bango the GPU was able to pass a UserBenchMark test with flying colors! Webcam works, games play at max FPS, and photoshop renders like a dream. My only word of advice to anyone desperate enough to try this method is that (1) there's a 50/50 chance it won't work and (2) there are a lot of online reviews claiming that this is only a "temporary" fix and that the card will slowly start to fail again within a few months... so enjoy the results while they last and start saving up just in case your GPU only gets a few months of mileage out of this amazing life hack! XD

@@lumberfoot_jpg some people put flux around the gpu. Did you do that? Also around the vram modules?
@@hayder978 I did not do that. You can try if you want... but I think just heating up the GPU is enough to melt any micro holes that may exists on the card.
I like your channel and you seem like a decent enough person so I'll let you in on a few key pointers. First of all, I was formally trained to work on aviation electronics (avionics) for the U.S. Army. I worked with ..let's just say much more complicated circuits. A GPU has very few components because the majority of the work is done on the GPU DIE. About 85% of the circuitry your left with is power delivery. This is where I find most GPUs fail. Usually, a less than $2.00 part know as a MOSFET driver is responsible for power on issues like post, boot, etc. The "mystery problem" you described where a GPU acts fine up to when you put in it's drivers is due to the fact that until the GPU is running off a fully compatible driver and not some Windows VGA default the main power to your GPU (VIA the 6+2 pin PCIe connectors) is not used. The GPU uses power from the PCIe bus in its VGA mode alone. Once you install the driver the GPU then opens the power stages from the 6+2 Pin (Or multiple PCIe power lines) and the section of the power staging responsible for getting that power to the GPU is failing thus leading to the black screens. Also, you didn't push thermals enough my friend. Thermals gimped the Vega GPUs severely and they are, in fact, very powerful computational GPUs but do suffer from a high rate of failure due to thermals. HBM and HBM2 can not handle high temperatures yet are infamous for their heat output. It's the only GPU that can go from running fine to BSODs over a matter of 20MHz in some cases. The Gigabyte version of this card suffers from poor engineering of HBM2 heat dissipation. The cars are fine with some new 1mm thermal pads and an aggressive fan curve. I have one that kept locking after I purchased it on eBay and the seller claimed they couldn't refund my money ($770). My choice was simple if there were more GPUs to buy but in this case, I just got out my tools and fixed the GPU as I at least had it in my possession lol.
hey mate, Dead R9 390 with the same symptoms, dead on driver install. besides super obvious things like burn marks (none Visible) what would you be looking for to diagnose a bad component on the PCB? temp? discoloration?
Have to say a massive thanks for posting this. I fixed 7979 with bad artifacts, gtx 660 that didn't even show in bios and a Rx 570 that crashed under load. All had the tech yes loving, brake cleaner and a heat gun 👍👍😃👍👍👍👍👍
The brake cleaner is used to clean rust correct? Can I use it on PCB or only just the backplate because I want to remove the rust on it
@@muhammadzafranbinnaharrudi591use isopropyl alcohol instead
For the heat gun denying people, let them look up how to fix the old xbox red ring of death used to be baking it in the oven or with a towel as they had weak solder points and the silicon often needed to expand a bit to reform connections. So it can work a lot of the time not always and its not perfect you could easily apply too much or too little heat unknowingly too.
Yeah I've had faulty VRAM being the number one issue for me with GPU's it just seems to degrade the quickest out of any part. I owned a Sapphire R9 390 for like 2 years just out of warranty, and it starts glitching out on me in-game with the issue getting worse as time goes on. It's definitely something that's had me sticking to more reliable brands like EVGA, MSI, or Asus.

Send the cards to Forest from Poland. He has channel where he is fixing cards. Maybe he needs spare parts :).
What multi purpose cleaner do you use EXACTLY? great videos and good info.. keep up the great work.
the black screen appears and fans start spinning usually when there is too much vibration or too low power, this sometimes happens to me when i move the pc case while the computer is doing something.
This video just saved me some money and time. My PC has been crashing constantly during games. I've tried everything under the sun to my abilities to fix it but nothing. I was waiting to hear back from a company for an appointment and watched this in between. Decided to check my display port. The cord had some rusting developing. Ordered a new display port cord, made sure my port to the gpu was clean, and now it is running games again like before.
Thanks!!!
Also when using the heat gun, It could be a good idea to put a lot of flux on the card so that an potential corrosion can fixed under the bga packages like memory and gpu core. As I have seen Louis Rossman do to repair bga chips on apple products.
The thing is on GPU's 90% of the time its not actually the BGA solder balls that are the issue. The solder cracking that people talk about is between the die and the substrate, not between the chip and the PCB. In the end heat-gunning a card isn't fixing it, its a temporary 'repair' at best, for some it may last another year or more, for most it'll work for 3 months, then 2, then 1 and then not at all.
@g6qwerty did that on my old dying GT 440 and it is back in service, at least for now. it's been just a couple of months though. my son use it almost daily for play games such as CS:GO and Roblox and it still works fine.
@@radius.indrawan Oh yeah it will work, but the chance of it failing is very very high, if/when it fails again just beware that although you can revive it again it'll last less each time. The thing that kills it is temperature variation, so you might find if its left turned off on a cold night that will be when it dies.
@@chrissmith4766 i see.. well, when it fails again within a year or more, at least it has bought me some time to save my money for a new graphic card. and when the time comes, i hope i have a better deal for my money than today. plus hey, i have a card for some "electronic repair experiments", right? ;-)
@@radius.indrawan Of course! :) Its definitely worth doing at home to get more life out of a card! Its only when people do this and then sell them that its a problem. Hopefully it'll last you until they want something more powerful anyway :P.
Its always fun to mess around with them, for a lot of the older cards you can order replacement chips from China that come with the BGA solder balls already glued on underneath, in theory all it would require is heatgunning the old chip off, wicking up the leftover solver then lining up the new chip and heating again.
That said, its probably easier to pick up an old Kepler card for £20 :P, assuming the seller didn't reflow their card before sale..
hey what is that digital error display thing on the motherboard called? Can we buy it? or does it comes with luxury motherboards?

Good info man! I had a faulty Gigabyte Winforce GTX 560 which had the screen full of horizontal lines as soon as the PC started up and even in Windows. Reloaded BIOS and nothing happened. Didn't have a heat gun so I simply opened the card, cleaned the thermal paste off with alcohol, took the hair dryer, heated it up for 10 minutes straight on the GPU chip, left it to cool down, re-assembled everything and BOOM ... working even better than before.

Don't freaking believe this. Yesterday I revived my 390x and today a 7950. Ran some benchmarks on the 7950 and all looks good. Can't say enough how glad I am I watched your channel!
They are still working?
How did you revive the 7950 cuz i have one completely dead ?
@@splase1 washed the boards down in WD40 & then soaked them down good with electrical contact cleaner. The 3 7950's were still working when I put them back in the closet, the 390x lasted a few weeks. I ran the 7950's in pairs for a few months before boxing them back up. Only thing left to try on the 390x is heat, I guess. If that doesn't work I'll sell the waterblock.
its a wild guess, but i think the rx580 has a problem with the power sensing in the NCP pwm controller, which might reports a wrong power limit violation and the card power throttles. apparently its easy to mod this particular pwm controller into "disabling" the power limit.
Dude I love you, thank you so much for that rust suggestion of taking the port in and out a lot of times. It fixed my bricked card thank you so much!!!

If you are not sure if your replacement thermal pad is making proper contact, just put a bead of thermal paste on the pad, you can then tell if it's being properly squished.

THX Brian, for saving me money :)
HF & GL
(And also keep up the good work!)
Hey Brian imho when reflowing SMD's with the heat gun it would help if you used some flux (saved many things with this method). Keep it up!
Do you just apply it all over or on each little solder?
Man the method works, I just brought mine to life after it stopped yesterday for no reason , 5 minutes with my hotgun station , and Im writing this comment using the same PC , thanks man

I have the problem 1 after I install the drivers I get black screen any solution to fix that?
I'm imagining a maniac looking guy with the heat gun after this video going Kabonkers on the faulty GPU feeling like he is bringing Frankentein to life !
Actually there is one other thing i recommend please dont use smart fan control on your graphics card i have seen so many radeons and nvidia cards that failed completely dead no bringing them back because users thought the driver software would kick on the fans at a certain temp they never came on and they roasted the card use msi afterburner for your fan speeds save a card
On the rx580 one of the diodes in the voltage regulator is gone, you need to check and replace the faulty one, the glitching is due to the card switching power states constantly
i though something in this line, hope he see your comment.
Cheers, anymore I can read up on this? Very curious about it.
Hi from Brazil, i think that one or more of the vrm phases on the card is faulty, so the gpu core clock goes all over the place, switching power states, good luck.
@@techyescity a guy on youtube named build zoid might can help you, he fixes and hard mods cards and knows exactly where everything is.
@@techyescity you can check JayzTwoCents video where he fixed his rtx2070 super i think because he broke off one the diodes on the card
Man I just want to say thanks. I had try a lot of stuff and nothing worked. My last try was your sugestion to use a heat blower to try revive my GPU and works. It's a RX 580 and this week it not turn on or spin the fans. Your method just worked and now it works fine and the GPU is reconized in my PC. Thanks a lot !!!!!!
Watching your videos in 4K is wonderful :D seems to be there with you
how do you fix a gpu that gives me no signal black screens when playing a game and fans speed up and have to reboot whole pc to for screen to come back??
Brian, I've got a gpu, an r9 270x, that will work perfect for the first 30 seconds or so in the machine. runs just fine in bios for however long, but when I start into windows, it's a ticking time bomb. after 30 seconds, just black screen. Very rarely an artifacted screen. Have had the card for 4 years, stopped a couple of years ago, have always kept it around as it's not like any of my other busted gpus! Any ideas? Cheers!
I had the same issue after a while it started causing my pc to hang at the bios screen
This sounds like your problem with drivers, but my fans do not rev up, and it happens on a fresh copy of windows. weird stuff
@@battyflaps5410 Did you also try repasting? baking? gunning? anything work?
@@battyflaps5410 That could be your ram also,same shit happened to me yesterday.
How big is the cooler for it? It didn't have a tiny heatsink like this one in the video did it? Cause that could be the problem, also try heatgun it like I did here if all else doesn't work (last resort).
hey, good work. after using the spray how do you get it dry, or do I have to?
I've brought a couple of laptop motherboards back to life using the 'oven' method. I also underclocked their GPUs (which seemed instinctively logical at the time) to make sure my customers got the most of their obviously used laptops for office use. Most technicians here in Tetouan, Morocco say that the heat gun method works for a month, and since I hate how unimaginative technicians here are, I had to think of something a bit creative, that is, underclocking the GPU. Most technicians here focus on the hardware, and when it comes to software, they're practically illiterate except for the part where they memorize certain button clicks like it's some ancient knowledge passed down through generations. Lmao
If you're going to try heat, first (when the gpu is powered on, with the shroud off), point a heat camera at it because you might have a short circuit causing the problem such as a melted soldering trace and that might show up as a hotspot on the heat-camera. It might be your reflowing-action from the hot air or oven is somewhat fixing that (but it might need desoldering and resoldering - but be careful if a hot component chip or asic is BGA). At least you'd see in the thermal-camera though. It helps a lot of you have an identical GPU card to compare thermal-camera footage to see what the heat displacement 'should' look like on camera.
Tech YES Aftercare
What kind of cleaner are you using?
I always thought that those round coolers look kinda small too. Maybe the GPU would have needed to be re-flowed if they used a good cooler. I always like to see a nice big rectangular heatsink with heat pipes. That is the single reason a graphics card takes up so much space, the big heatsinks. I also don't care much for the coolers that come with a CPU. They are only good enough if you don't already have a better one. I don't care much for a loud whiny fan but that is what you get with a smaller one typically. I have a Corsair A70 and it has larger fans than a stock cooler boxed with a CPU normally would have. It is quieter because it doesn't have to spin as fast. If that is somehow too much for your ears, mine even came with special cables that you can optionally use to limit the power to them. I never needed them and I do hear all noises too, it is just that my fans are not loud. They are not some new design or anything but they are still pretty good.
What is a multipurpose spray? Is it a lubricant? Sounds like you said WD-40. What product are you using so that I can look up a match. Thanks!
my friend gave me his gtx 1050ti a few years back when it died it had the display driver crash issue and i did the heatgun method and it came back to life and has been working with a memory and core clock overclock since and is on almost 24/7, obviously not on full load all the time but it works great.
I'm having the same issue with a k620 Quadro and a Ati HD6870, for how long did you applied the heatgun and do you have any recomendations to proceed?
Diego Rivera I did mine for 20 mins about 2/3rds to 3/4 of the way up on the heat gun, not sure what the wattage of my heart in is I believe it’s a 1000 watt heat gun. It was my first time doing it and I haven’t done it in a while but I focused mainly on the core but also made sure to spend a fair bit of time on the memory and then the rest of the board got probably 3 or so mins. Hope that helps and good luck
Is it still working ?
D.U.O yep it’s been working with daily use almost 24/7 for the past couple years or so since it died
Curious, if you were to buy a full soldering kit, what would you get now? For mainly repairing GPUs and Motherboards
A thousand points for that Law & Order DUM DUM. :D I have a few fudgy cards I plan on having a go at repairing using my Quick, not gotten round to it yet as they're only an old 8800GT and GTX 570. Re faulty VRAM, I suppose there is potential there to swap the bad IC for one from a donor card, but that would require some more detailed meddling a la Louis Rossmann style. I do have a GTX 580 3GB I want to fix sometime (got the relevant microscope, etc.), maybe commiechan lockdown will give me the time to at last look at it. :D
Yeah I would love to do that next level micro stuff, but it would turn out to be a parody video instead if anything.
Right to repair baby !

How badly do you have to neglect your GPU for it to get rusty? Did they leave it in a sauna?
Corrosion of circuit parts in a graphics card also is a culprit of no video signal and may addresd the graphics card is already DOA. Maybe something to look out for also 😣
That, or if you live in tropical countries, hot n humid environment is no joke man; about 1 year and you'll see rust start spreading.
The GPU went on holidays to the hot springs, and decided to come back like a wretched hag.
Sauna, sisu suomi perkele
It happens in costal areas they have salt in the air and humity anything even a car starts to rust withing a year is use my bottom engine cover which lasts for over a yearb easy will rip off like a bandaid in costal areas.
These Days This Video Is Worth So Much Because The Gpu prices Are In Skies Now, A Lot Of People Just Can`t Afford To Buy ANY Graphics Card. With This Video They Can Fix They Videocards Wich Is SUper Cool.
Thank You For Producing This Video For Folks Like That, I Love That You Think About Them To :)
The only reason I did not go with the ASRock Taichi motherboard (like the one advertised) is because its VRM's tend to get a little warm. Being that I am running a 9900k, which also tends to run warm, I went with another option. Obviously this only applies to the z390 chipset. If anyone is considering this motherboard with a different CPU/chipset... I would strongly recommend! The reviews on it are really good!!!
My goodness the heat gun trick worked for me! Bro gave me an rtx 2060. I could not get it to display on multiple pcs. Took the sucker apart and heated it up like u said and repasted and bam! I got a picture now. Thanks 🙏
I got an artifacting rx580 8gb for pennies, someone used conductive thermal paste so i baked it in the oven and it works to this day xD
You what?
Nice! Just scored an artifacting RX480 8gb for 10 bucks, gonna bake it tonight and see if I get a 10 dollar 1080p beast :D

My Gigabyte 3070 Vision 8gb OC is DOA when I purchased it with a pre-built, but unfortunately the manufacture has not responded in 3 business days. RIP any tips to fix it?
Sell it to me! Lol
It works btw. I had a gpu that died like 3+ years ago at least i thought it did. My new gpu was dying too. I had the code 43(or 34 dont remember prob 43) and the whole day i was trying to fix it. The at the end of the day i lost hope tried this with the hot air gun(if you call it that) and it worked. So basically my old gpu that i thought died came back to life and word of advice never throw away old parta you never know when you'll need then. Unless you are rich then just buy a new pc.
love your work...but why nobody use flux when reflow ? last night i repaired a gtx 460 with no display output problem...i own a gordak 852a
"Multi-Purpose Spray", so, Windex?

@@syedm9654 Oh, I'm not spraying my electronics down with WD-40!
@@neophobicnyctophile8264 it’s a spray found only in Australia similar to wd-40, but doesn’t leave a residue. Wd-40 actually makes a spray specifically for spraying down electronics like motherboards and graphics cards that doesn’t leave a residue either.

"1 year ago" :(
I baked my entire card in the oven (removed anything plastic or covered them with foil paper) worked like a charm. Did this for a MacBook pro that had display issues, also worked. Sold them after (let the people know and I sold for cheaper because of it) they have been working for 5 years so far!
How exactly do you bake it? How long and on which temps?
Maybe I can fix my Winforce card that dies once a driver is installed... nvm!
Great video! But, can someone please tell me what’s that spray he uses to clean over all the gpu with de tooth brush? Thank you
He does mention it in the video WD40
Are you alright there m8 😂
What spray did you use to clean the rust?
Lmao the card that was overheating was fixed by shooting heat at it
Great video. Any chance you could provide a link for the brand of multi purpose spray you use?
