Dude, I love how excited you get when you finish a repair! It's like every time is the first time! Love your channel, and hope your business stays successful!
Classic engineer mate, all my ex colleague engineers(I used to be a buyer in this industry) get satisfaction from working out a fault but even more so when they can resolve it. A clue is when he said "better than from the factory" because most faults come down to manufacturing tolerances, the simple truth is that all devices leave the factory with faults but sit within defined tolerances, for this reason I had my AV engineer rework my amps despite having no apparent faults to remove all dry joints and poor connections in general which improved the sound quality on what are already fairly high end products, my AV engineer was like a kid in a candy shop effectively stripping down and rebuilding my amps and removing all the factory tolerances. When the work was done the amps had sound quality akin to products selling for 2 or 3 times the price, and still do to this day.
I like the fact you smile with excitement at repairs. It must be something about tech repair shop owner and fixers that when we repair we are so happy to have saved items from Ewaste or help a customer or the satisfaction of it.
Another amazing repair. Thank you master. Really helpful that you read every mosfet resistance and tell us what is expected to be normal or not. Greetings to all working in the shop from Portugal.
You are right on the number. I'm trying to push and finish as many GPU's as I possibly can but it seems like it's a never ending queue. We already stopped taking GPU's a month ago.
@@NorthridgeFix when the day comes you reopen Que i have a 1080 that i will be sending your way. what do yall charge for repairs anyway i cannot find a number anywhere
Very nice fix again, i've recently found your channel and i think it's amazing. Lot's to learn here! i'm very impressed on your micro soldering skills and patience. Still amazing that expensive devices, cards etc totally stop working over 1 component... the world is so lucky with guys like you and other repair heroes. Keep it up
@@windowsxpprofessional I actually make electronics for a job, Paste PCB's, use pick and place machines and hand solder components (Basic electronics knowledge unfortunately ) but all the equipment is at my work I cant really use it for my own time.
Always good to see repair and reuse over scrapping and replacing, too much stuff gets thrown out for relatively simple faults that 9 times out of ten come down to manufacturing tolerances in components(ex buyer in your industry mate) from the factory.
How to keep track of which video you watched? well just press the thumbs up :D thats how I keep track off which videos I watched! they are a bit soothing like bob ross video's but instead of painting its like attacking the bad components and replacing them with new ones. Its like a detective to find the culprit, and replacing it better as factory job. And to give it back to big boss to repair! Love the show! keep it up.
another superb repair chief ….. want to know, why we did not clean the old solder from the board before putting the new MosFet ? you usually clean the pads before putting a new component on the board :) ..
so I'm starting to repair cards myself and was wondering about posting them without heatsink's and if it can hurt them ? guessing in 2d mode ie post and bios its not a worrie just to quickly test ?
When and where are you selling mosfets? I have an order with China right now that is holding up a repair and would rather order locally. Also, it would be great if you could list compatability, assuming not exact part number matches. I don't really need to buy OEM if I can find a compatible.
Does not matter, you can have for example the red probe on ground, continuity mode functions kinda like closing/completing the circuit, thats why it beeps because he closed the circuit going to ground
it DOES matter, black probe on ground sink, and red probe on point you want to check, if you put it in reverse (red probe on ground and black on testing point) it's called "diode mode" in which you test not continuity but voltage drop,
@@chrom4ful The master has spoken IT DOES NOT MATTER acknowledge your mistake and move on, next time at least research it on google before posting and misinforming people, that causes to invalidate good information for people who wants to learn, exactly what you just did with my comment. xoxo kisses
I guess I was not the only one to notice the repair simile. That could be a catch on phrase. If anyone has better ones, I would love to hear them. The repair grin. ?
more! i think this is the problem on my two cards, I think killed by cheap PSU. tempting to fix myself but I love those cards, hoping to send it there soon
Better than factory. Wish my dude who was replacing a charging port on the iPad soldered it properly so it didn't fall off as it did, only for them to then screw up the LCD to have two areas not responsive to touch. Can you not open a branch in the UK?
Good morning. I always follow his repairs. There is something I always ask myself. Test a GPU without a heat sink after sheltering it is not dangerous? I have always known that it reaches very high temperatures in a few seconds without a heat sink. Please explain myself better. Thank you very much.
very good work,i see and a lot of energgy involved in.please help me with a GTX770 schematic..it have some resistors burned ust next to 12v pins.in voltage.thanck.s
Rtx3080 blown 20a fuse at the connector, replaced fuse, pc flickers once and won't power on. Used 3 connectors directly from 850 watt psu (NO jumpers). All drmos read identical ohms on the 1st pin.
Hi Alex This might sound silly but, is it safe to remove one shorted MOSFET (MDU1513) and run the card without it? It is one out of 4 on the same rail/lane.
great Job. Have you ever succesfuly saved a Strix RTX3090? got a guy selling two that shuts down PC once its in the PCI express slot immediately. the other shows up in windows, via 2nd display,but goes to Code 43 once you try to install drivers. Which do you think has a better chance of being fixed?

same here love to see the smile and that shows passion...love it man.Subscribed
This guy is extremely talented n in a league of his own , always a pleasure to watch you work
When Alex found short on that coil I do not know why in my mind he said "consider job done"
100%..That's exactly how my brain interprets a short. .
@@NorthridgeFix Amazing channel and amazing job. You are currently my bedtime story before falling asleep on TH-cam. Thanks
I thought the same thing. Lol
Awesome
Straight to the point no nonsense talking and gets the job done! Nicely done masta!
This is so satisfying to watch a pro at work. You, sir, are a rare specimen these days.
Nice job alex. This was a fast one. One gpu done and a big mountain of gpu‘s are still waiting. Hopefully you can fix them all.
Thx for the video
_Alex, please show a few no-fixes in the mix._ 🙏🏼
_It helps keep our expectations realistic. _*_Thanks!_* 👍🏼
I like the way you diagnose the issue till you find the problem and fix it. Well done Alex, as always.👍
11 minutes to fix a graphics card with evey step included.. you're awesome!
Your enthusiasm is so infectious.
The smartest technician I've ever seen. Straight to the point.... Wonderful
this is called experience, straigth to the fix, well done
@@vf3378 Awesome :)
nice job ALEX ... you can not bleave how much i love to see you fixing dead GPU and brought back to live..

Great to see another Portuguese here. O Alex é o maior!
Always good to see a graphics card repair! Good job Alex
1 less GPU to fix. Only 200 to go and Alex will be free of the GPU plague. :D

ima crash out now its 1AM here in SoCal where we live. hope to hear back.. Go to sleep too!
"right there right there" good impression especially when the job is done. very fast repair
that happy face after you realized the card is working, priceless :D Well done ;)

Enjoyed the video... I've watched you repair tons of graphics card and somehow, I always learn something new... never boring..
TH-cam algo wanted me to watch this channel, it is educational and relaxing.
The way you smile after something gets fixed is a happy feeling.
Watching these makes me want to do this, but I understand how much experience, equipment and set
up you have. Anyways looks fun
Me too. I've been on the brink of ordering a microscope... even though I have nothing to repair and probably never will.
I suggest you to work on donor boards of 2 mices and other things, and try interchanging their buttins

I just love your smile when you go "and the short is gone" 😊
Tx for the video !
We will find the value of this channel when we watch other repairing channels..great videos ❤️❤️
Thanks for always sharing your unending stream of knowledge. I consider your videos my new daily therapy.
Time to brew up some strong tea and begin a graphics card backlog repair marathon.
You are the KING -> NorthridgeKING!
i like that you always get excited when its fixed . I have that smiled memorized ..
Fun to watch doing a repair.. you are like a big boy.. gives you a sense of accomplishment.
Priceless smile on fixing the card....
awesome:::)

It's amazing how you knew the other mosfets were reading well although they gave different values... amazing!
Watching your videos, my curiosity increased in repairing things (electronics).....
Thats a happy customer getting his card working again. The 1080 should serve you and still a good card.
Its not only your knowledge but its the speed where you trouble shoots most off the problems very impressive !
So efficient, so fast, so knowledge, so confident. Great job Alex!
Vrey doge!
it's a pleasure to watch and learn from you
Better Than Factory Job, Keep up the good work my friend
That was a quick one , two tests and boom the problem is detected ..great works
another great job Mr. Alex, thanks for this videos. Now my Son is joining me watching your videos.
Now U R master of Graphics card also😊😊
Good job Alex, Always nice to have the right Chips and spares in stock. Better than factory.
!! I made my first job with a micro usb port, thanks for your teaching
Nice to find this channel watching repair videos specially this time of pandemic. Much more to learn. 😍
11:00 Please tell me what soldering iron you use
another superb repair chief ….. want to know, why we did not clean the old solder from the board before putting the new MosFet ? you usually clean the pads before putting a new component on the board :) ..
This was the vrm fix I needed to watch.
Thank you for making these videos!
professanal supper skilled electronic engineer ماشاء الله ادلم الله عليكم الستر والعافية وننقاء البصيرة
When i see a new video from Alex, immediately I think "consider job done".
Cannot wait for your backlog to clear. I have a 1080 Ti STRIX that I need a pro to look at. :D
Brilliant job!
There is always something to learn from your videos.
Keep up the good work Alex.
Good job. I would clean the area right after removing the mosfet because there was a noticeable "brownish" substance around there...
I like your efficient failure inspection algorithm 👍👌
how to measure from starting point of the card, and how does the 12 volt work through it?
Its all about Experience in finding what components is bad,,,i was going for voltage injection...amaizing skills Alex,,
wow, 2nd test already shows the problem, great educational content, i always love to see how masterfully you fix these, and better than factory
Getting better and better
I wish I knew how to do this type of work. Maybe someday I will try to learn more.
The best channel i follow and learn👍
Very satisfying to see these repairs! Nice job Alex!
You are amazing. Thanks for your informative videos everytime.
Felicidades por la reparación hermano, Saludos desde Venezuela
and at the end i really enjoyed your smile of success;thanks alot
I know this is an older video so you might not see it, but i was curious is to where you get all the spare parts from?
Another one saved from the bin! Awesome work! 👌
Nice to see that card work again, good job👍👍👍, consider it done😄😄😄😄😄
Great movement you have, great job!
Another Swift and efficient repair. Weldone boss
You have tons of experience. I am feeling jealous.
Nice work Alex, some days you get the easy ones.
How did you know which replacement chip was compatible. Did you look at a cross reference list?
Vientos, eres bien canijote, chingones tus videos, de grande quiero ser como tú! saludos NorthridgeFix!
Amazing work my man I love your videos!!!
so I'm starting to repair cards myself and was wondering about posting them without heatsink's and if it can hurt them ? guessing in 2d mode ie post and bios its not a worrie just to quickly test ?
The thumbnail made me think he had the biggest 1080 in existence. That thing must stay really cool with that heatsink.
Good job Alex! fortunately it was an easy repair what type of thermal paste do you use?
Your efficient brother . Well done and thanks for helping save hardware .
I love your work but I prefer watching your fix laptop motherboard more.....I love you man
Greetings from Brazil! 🔥
When and where are you selling mosfets? I have an order with China right now that is holding up a repair and would rather order locally. Also, it would be great if you could list compatability, assuming not exact part number matches. I don't really need to buy OEM if I can find a compatible.
You can set in bios to auto power on / on restore AC to power on so you dont have to jump the pin
You really are good in doing this kind of job. Hope i could be like u someday.
You make this look easy! One question? When measuring for shorts in continuity mode, does it matter which probe is ground?
Does not matter, you can have for example the red probe on ground, continuity mode functions kinda like closing/completing the circuit, thats why it beeps because he closed the circuit going to ground
it DOES matter, black probe on ground sink, and red probe on point you want to check, if you put it in reverse (red probe on ground and black on testing point) it's called "diode mode" in which you test not continuity but voltage drop,

now i know if i found some burnmark on the mosfet . considered that the mosfet is burned inside or leak. thankyou sir alex for the another knowledge .
Would you care to make a video regarding how to troubleshoot the boards and find shorts and some basic troubleshooting steps using multimeters ?
