This is my card! The person who referred me to Tech Cemetery told me that he was the best in the business for GPU repair, and he wasn't kidding. Great video, and best of luck on the Patreon!
@@rompersrchelichannel8164 I physically broke something else on the GPU (which was basically brand-new). Tech Cemetery thinks that the memory powerstage just happened to fail at the exact same time, but it's impossible to know exactly
@@rompersrchelichannel8164 If you looked at the video you would have easily noticed that it was the memory and not the gpu, and why the fuse went could be because the card was clocked above what the fuse was ment for.
Amazing video, thank you! I'm a 17-year-old guy living in Poland who also fixes GPUs for almost 3 years now, and you help me get some knowledge about these new cards. I mostly fix GTX 9xx series because the GPUs on them rarely die (even if they are fed +12V on vcore xD), and it's almost always a happy ending. Also I didn't know that you can test a power stage with this ANENG AN8008 multimeter (I also own one) without needing to use an oscilloscope, never really looked at the frequency measuring function.
@tech cemetery you do awesome work man. The entheusist community needs a guy like you. There's deffinetly a niche here for you to carve out. We collectively have a fortune worth of hard to repair rare GPUs and motherboards. I know there's alot of guys in the OC and XOC discords I'm in, watching your progress very closely. Keep it up man
this comment was not for you TECH CEMETERY, but for the comment JALEE, you are a genius in electronics sorry if you misunderstood Good work from Europe Matthew
THAT WAS AMAZING!!!! You saved someone (I'm guessing Andrew lol) a LOT of TIME and MONEY!!! How did you gain so much knowledge!??! No offence but you sound pretty young, and if you are then you should REALLY look into working at one of these companies. No only would you get paid like a BOSS, but you would be challenged and GREATLY appreciated but the ENTIRE COMPANY!!! Maybe you'll be designing the 50 or 60 nvidia cards and the world will be enjoying your skills :) BEST OF LUCK IN LIFE MY FRIEND!!! And THANK YOU for bringing this knowledge to the world! :D
If you don't want to lift the coils to check which powerphase is blown you can inject voltage from the GPU-side of the mosfet to the fuse and than mesaure the voltagedrop acros the coils. The coil with the shorted mosfet will have a voltage drop of a few mV. You can do the same to check if the powerphase is working after the repair.
@@TechCemetery I was thinking about pulling the trigger on a used CAT S60 smartphone with flir module built-in. Would that do me any good for that purpose?
If you don't own a thermal camera, I can definitely recommend one. In this case a thermal camera would have definitely been able to point out exactly which powerstage was dead. I personally use a USB-C thermal camera like the one linked below, but don't recommend that particular model as there are better ones. www.amazon.com/Seek-Thermal-Compact-All-Purpose-Imaging/dp/B00NYWABAA/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Seek+thermal&qid=1625602309&sr=8-3
@@TechCemetery I don't have one and the reason for thinking about the CAT is cost. The phone uses the same sensor and app as FLIR ONE thermal camera and the smartphone is half the price of the camera alone where i live. That's why I am asking.
Ahh okay. I definitely recommend a thermal camera. Even a cheap one is miles better than not having one at all. I've never used the S60 personally and so I can't speak of its quality.
honestly you are the only one that don't give up that easly to fix a GPU even the ods is not in the favor of that GPU, not like others Nort.... that give up that easy, great job and good luck in the future.
Good evening. Please, do not be so harsh towards Northirdhefix. You should take into account the huge number of graphics card, laptops and tablets as well...on the shelves. If you can't troubleshoot a device within few minutes, it is sensible to pass to the successive device....regards from Italy.
there's the differences, one do the repair for a living, one do the repair for hobby, teaching, and entertaining stuff you can't spend much time do repair of 1 device, while a lot of devices need to repaired
hi,i have a sapphire rx6800 xt no power.I open the graphic card and when i turn on the card the gpu is start heating fast.Is the gpu dead? or shorted? Can be repair ? Thank and appreciate for all your work 🙏.
I've got a 5600xt water dammged doesn't power up well powers up then turns off blank screen I need a hand to try figure out what's wrong with it r56xtoc 6gd I can do the tests my self I just don't know what pins to test lol
I wonder what happened with the b450 motherboard that you fixed and was used as your testing bench some times ago, you'd think you want a little bit newer system (with at least uefi) to test these modern GPU's, why reverted back to older system?
Can we see some work on GTX 1060 6GB as i have one and need to repair it, It works has backlight but no picture so i am going to use your mods and mats video to check memory. I also just became a Patreon. keep up the great content
Agreed, but still nice to see newer gpus. On cheaper cards diagnostics and repairs are very similar, so it is not a big deal. Also about voltage passing thru power stage and going straight to memory controller I think he was referring to GTX 10 series gpus.
The owner knocked off two capacitors next to the PCIe slot, you can see browning of the PCB next to the first three pins. I don't touch cards that can be RMA'd.
How much cpu power does the Subnautica game you are runing in menu for testing need? My test bench has a i3 2120 I'm gonna change it with a i7 3770 but for now I'm looking for a game that can load the gpu and not the cpu so i can test the card at 100% load
Let's push right to repair to be easier for us to fix that stuff! I repaired today a g900 mouse and found that there is a proprioritarie chip what communicates with the original Bluetooth. So can't learn your mouse to a another Bluetooth adapter! And this is back to 2016!!! I'm sorry for shot storming but i hate more and more big tech companies...
No worries, I 100% understand the frustration. Nearly everyone who learns to repair graphics cards does so by buying them broken and reverse engineering them.
This should not happen on a card this old Sapphire only has a 2 year warranty on the 6800 & higher compared to a 3 year warranty (which is standard) on their 6700XT cards.
He does a excellent job walking thru the issue, the diagnosis, and what's needed to fix. Learning what all the terminology means is overwhelming for a while but you get to understand what it all means after a bit. But understanding what it means and doing it by yourself are two very different things. I wish I had the experience and confidence to go for it like he does.

what actually happened to the gpu to cause the short, overclocking?

My apologies, I misread.
to lift the inductor from one side like that damn.. you put huge faith in power lane strength. :)
Heh, I'm careful when I do it.

Nice video. Thanks!
Be carefull with a lot of Heat at the Capacitors, they can Pop off. Put Safety Glasses on.
Thank you for the Video.
Thanks!
We used to prank ppl at uni with caps.. reverse one and wait for them to power on their circuit ...
happened to me twice lol lucky I wear glasses
I like this kind of videos
Thanks
Where can we order those TDA2172 chips from?

Yep, it was mistake on my part during recording.
Maybe a silly question, and i get its to educate on fixing GPU's, but why wasn't this just sent in for warranty?
The owner knocked off two capacitors next to the PCIe slot, you can see browning of the PCB next to the first three pins. I don't touch cards that can be RMA'd.
Yeah I think I saw some discolouration on the 3.3V inductor on bottom left

Not much, you can download programs like Unigine Superposition which is free.
Hi I have one Sapphire rx5700 xt I get hive OS gpu dead error gpu rebaling I gave error every 3 minutes and reset
What do you think the problem might be?
What could be the cause that make MOSFETs short circuit?
I'm not sure in this case
How I can contact u
I have a discord server linked in the description.
Disappointed with Sapphire 6000 gpus, their mem junction temp are hottest amongst the AIB cards.
