      For me it brings back memories of watching my dad soldier and repair his own equipment. I recall back in the day my dad designing his own circuits with a blank pcb, straightedge ,black permanent marker, and some sulphuric acid I believe it was that exposed the boards. He built his first ham radio repeater back in the early 70’s.

      I bought a used 3090 Ti off eBay awhile back. The seller shipped the damn thing in a large generic box with no bubble wrap or padding. A corner of the PCB was broken, and the heatsink was bent all to hell. The seller was clueless as to why there was so much damage.

If they literally can't afford to buy a new one because they’ve pushed the budget on the last one then repair is literally the only option. 99% of the people buying these things don't need them and can't justify the cost for professional work.

    Man Tony, I don't see how you can see where traces need to be connected. It's so confusing seeing you grind away and connect things. At least when the trace repair is on a single top layer, I can tell where your sending the electricity. With this on multiple different layers, it's so confusing because you'd think that the electricity would just connect still above the crack. Your on another level man. I know it may take you longer but some day could you go into a little more detail about multiple layer repairs like this?

    • @ThePopolou
      @ThePopolou 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I too also initially found this confusing but if you think that each layer needs to be reconnected together across the crack, it should make it easier to understand. Tony got lucky on this repair but there are many others he's completed which required him to repair many layers from the bottom up.

      It helps that some layers are a continuous plane of copper, don't need to worry about those, working traces will show up as copper dots either side of the carved valley, since the traces on any one layer can't cross over each other it's literally a game of connect the dots + operation where you cant let anything touch (using the UV resist)
