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
Enjoy
@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
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!
Thatsbks for the heads-up
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!
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 👍👍👍👍👍👍
What a great parent
No you didn't
"IF U GOT NOTHING TO LOSE, U GOT NOTHING TO LOSE" That's so true and funny at the same time😅
@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.
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.
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✌
lol i didn't know Bryan was bilingual, when did he learn to speak dolphin?

Kidding.
Well, he does speak Japanese so he is bilingual (yes, *whoosh*, whatever).

Yeah I straight off paused when I heard that squealing. Not going to bother with the rest.
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.
Excellent way to get the old cards working again! Kudos! Saves a lot of those cards going to the scrap heap/recycle plant.
Great video. I like the heat gun as I've used it before. I seen other techs use an ordinary oven and foiled bake sheet. Just cook a pcb for 10 minutes. Sometimes if you've beat a old transistor radio around, it's components get loosen up and need to be re-soldered again. Heat guns do wonders fixing them.
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 also felt like genius when i used these methods to bring back 2 of my ram sticks back to life.
Thank you for this video, it helped me to improve my repair skills :)
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!)
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.
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]*
😎😄
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'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 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 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
Hello Tech YES City thank you for this excellent video. May I ask whats the name of the brand electrical contact spray cleaner you are using? Thanks!
Thanks so much for the tips man! this video motivated me to work on an evga gtx1060 ftw2+ that someone gave me for free (i couldn't fix it)! It was a 9ghz card and I took your advice to downclock the memory. Now works great and no more glitches! :-)
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
What if you have a convection oven?
@@Trifler500 it should work the same
@@Trifler500 just make sure you don't use the microwave function
@@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.
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.
I love the video~!
Do you have one about maintaining video cards? My cards could use some maintenance and maybe some new pads.. some general tips on pad sizes and if you could use more than one pad to make up for size
What multi purpose cleaner do you use EXACTLY? great videos and good info.. keep up the great work.
Watching your videos in 4K is wonderful :D seems to be there with you
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 !
hey, good work. after using the spray how do you get it dry, or do I have to?
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 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

What is the "multi-purpose spray" stuff you're dousing them in? I have a couple cards (a GTX980 and a GTX1080ti) that I had a liquid cooler leak on. They both do "problem #2/#4" now. Really don't care about them outputting video...just want to be able to use them to mine.
7:25 - how - salt in the air and high humidity

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.
What kind of cleaner was used to hose those down? I'm a little nervous to totally douse any of my PC internals in that until I know exactly what was used here
Amazing video !
What is the spray that you are using with your brush?
Thank you in advance !
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
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.
Getting this problem on a asus rog strix radeon 570 after a year
I had connected to external psu with cheap risers, my both gpu gtx 1050 ti and rtx 2060 stopped working. Both got fan spinning and no display. so, is that about something burned or what happened to those? Also when plug in the 8 pin connector to rtx2060, the fan stopped spinning and only fan spinning from x16 pcie slot. The external psu is 1600 watt bought for specially btc mining also written on it. Any suggestion would be great help and much appreciated. Thank you
Love it, thanks for the tips
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
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!!!
Ive been getting a quick flickering whenever im in the loading screen of rdr2 and then when I play I get stuttering in my game. as well as some details in the game flash and flicker, then when im playing it flashes to home screen really fast then back to the game. Do you think its my gpu?
I have a very interesting hardware defect, apparently caused by a voltage spike (I guess) when I removed one monitor while AMD Eyefinity was active. The card works perfectly with performance tests, but the very first BIOS logo has color alterations. Also, sometimes when windows starts I get one black monitor and one green monitor. The black/green thing may also happen in Mac when getting back from sleep.
It's an AMD R9 380 from MSI. Flashing the VBIOS didn't help. I fell like there is something else that needs to be flashed.. if that makes any sense?
That's how I got a 1080ti for $200 in 2017.
Beast still shreds.
And now it's worth $750+ on eBay depending on what model

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.
Ty for that cuz I don't have a heat gone but the wd 40 ks for the rusted metal part I belive
Curious, if you were to buy a full soldering kit, what would you get now? For mainly repairing GPUs and Motherboards
quick question , I've been looking at this fix with a heat gun and the oven . I have a MSI R9 270 that boots fine but I get Red Lines on the screen will both of these methods work for a fix ?
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?
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.
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!!!
Great video. Any chance you could provide a link for the brand of multi purpose spray you use?
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?
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.
So after my PC once randomly shut off while gaming, it only powers on and boots normally(with integrated gfx) when the GPU is disconnected from PSU. If I try to turn on PC with GPU powered, all fans just move for a sec, the power LED on the front of my PC stays on but nothing else happens. Tried moving GPU to my other PCIe slot that was never used and same happens. Is this just a short on my GPU? I have taken it apart to see if anything looks burned or damaged but it almost looks like new(even after 5y of use).
I just replace my thermal pad on zotac 3080ti. First I use alumunium mod and thermal paste. Works ok, but not performing as I expected. So I changed it again with thermalpad/thermalright. Now Suddenly the pc wont boot. 1 Long beep and 3 short beeps. What would you suggest I should do? Could it be the leftover thermalpaste?
what brand of multipurpose spray is he using? I saw a WD-40 one
someone please answer this
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..
what kind of brush do u use on the circuit boards? Silk? Also what model vacuum so u use?
I have a Vega 56 with a morphius II cooler, started getting memory artifacts, underclocking hasn't helped, do you think i should put the original blower cooler back on? I ask because when i did the morphius cooler instal i put a large amount of small heatsinks with double sided thermal tape on the mem, vrm, and other SMDs that were being cooled by the original cooler and removing them could be sketch....
Send the cards to Forest from Poland. He has channel where he is fixing cards. Maybe he needs spare parts :).
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)
What should i do with mine (R9 280x 3gb) with 3 ventilators,i dont know what should i do with it i just run my integrated now.It just went boom black screen while i was gaming,after that i tried restarting PC like 10 times but it kept saying auto repair but somehow it fixed itself but another prob apeared,i got red lines/glitches all over the screen should i try get it to someone to fix it or should i just throw it away?

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

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.

Yeah But All the heat gun dos is straighten out the silicate channels in the gpu chip
Nah
@@goldkiller1324 Well, atleast 27 ppl would buy computer from me if i say that in my add^^
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).
Hi! I have the same gpu (the MSI dragon, red and black) as the one you cleaned using your multipurpose spray. I'm having NO DVI SIGNAL problem. Same when using an HDMI cable.
This computer was stored and not used for over two years. I was wondering if i could open the card and deep clean it just like how you did, but if i don't have a multipurpose cleaner spray what can i use as alternative?
Hello i hope u read my comment my 980ti had a problem with display it displays image but then nothing
Also what are those things on the vrams? @4:37 the things u removed then placed new ones what are they? They look like double face tape are they?
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!
Cool
How's it looking now?
Is it still going strong lol
Usually I’ve only experienced stuttering with RX cards when the temperature gets to high 70s and beyond
I have a Evga GTX 1070 and it boots to Black Screen, I'll do a force shut down, then start from a cold start (not a restart) and all 4 monitors will come up. Any ideas? It always takes two starts and it will come up, any food for thought, for me to check out. I pulled it out, cleaned, inspected, but didn't find or see anything. But I think I may clean it as you did here with all-purpose electronic cleaner spray.
What kind of cleaner are you using?
Hi just wanted to say have a great day and stay safe
You and yours as well !
Kind man

8:43 I thought this was my issue with the exact same 2080ti until I realized it was damn windows updates....lol good to know my card isn't dead.
I do however have 2 GTX 460 cyclones, 1 is my original from like 07, the other I got on eBay, it boots and gives video signal to monitor but the picture is all fucked up 😂, looks like someone seriously dropkicked it off a bridge, spent hours straightening out the heatspreader fins that were all smashed together, completely disassembled/new paste/cleaned with alcohol but idk...it halfway works
i did the win10 Bloatware removal github 1st time i seen it thought aah looks hacky
but watched again 3 months L8tr and tried it 👍🥇 Not hard to do Use powershell
if you want try the github script you copy paste in below comment and were the video i seen it ok
iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('git.io/debloat'))
you do it again after every win10 updates because they keep adding some old crap back in not a worry but / helps Also > The Video i watched ua-cam.com/video/nVy4GAtkh7Q/v-deo.html

I've got a problem with mine, its some weirds black lines all over the screen after the bios settings shows up, then passed 6 to 10 secs it starts to change color to some kind of yellow green thing. If you know anything that could help me with this please let me know :(
I have a spare RX 570 that immediately crashes when playing resource intensive games. Would this be an issue with the VRAM chips or an issue with the GPU core?
Dude forget the heatgun, 8 minutes in the oven 196 c°, it did work for me with over 50% success chance.
196c on the oven display or you use a separate accurate thermometer.
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.
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
@@TheGodOfBlocks did it work?
My gpu had vertical lines in the middle of the screen and on the right side of screen. Any chance to fix? I tried baking the card twice but the lines remained. And driver install didn't work.
can i ask something sir, what happens if i accidentally pulled down a bit off the head of the hdmi? because of my headphone wires i accidentally pulled the wires hitting downwards the head of the hdmi cable plugged on the gpu, will it damage the gpu and the port? my screen just turned black then something like a tv no signal screen.
My computer has been off for a while now.. thinking it was broken? I just cleaned the rust, and now it works.. 🤩👍
Some extra advice: never throw away the thermal pads as shown in this video because they are usually not standard thickness and cannot be replaced....
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.
whenever i clean my boards with brake cleaner, i always think about the proportion of water in it. but i never wait more then an hour to clean it. how is your experience?
what kind of spray are you using on the GPUs? I don't want to use the wrong one when I clean my GPU.
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 !

Hello , i have a question , Since I am watching you for a long time . my gpu died ( the gpu powers on , i get in windows , no artifacts , memory is shown , but when gaming or benchmarking the clocks stay in idle . temperature is around 30-34 celsius ) . what is the cause ?
I've used heatgun method and it works quite often... but it being a low temp solder problem it is usually indicative of overheating, it helps, but if the overheating is not resolved, it will just happen again... pressure clips, replacing thermal paste or changing the cooling method may be necessary
