Just want to say thanks for the video! Tried fixing a r9 390x I bought for £70 broken (artifacts), used a hair dryer first and didn’t work then tried a heat gun. First attempt didn’t work but after try’s, adjustments and tempt/time changes I got it from blurred lines to crisp graphics 👍🙌
It def works. Fixed 2 cards last night that was artifacting and not posting or boot windows. Today I have 2 perfectly working gpu's. I was quite surprised it worked and fyi I put the heat right to em. Thanks for this video. You the man.
Please guys only use this method on cards that have artifacts problems and only if you are sure that the artifacting isn't caused by a corrupted bios or a driver issue . Btw nice video mate , keep it up !
can you show me where the bios chip is on the msi r9 380 4g? I want to try to flash the bios with a jumper but I'm afraid to choose the wrong bios chip
I like you, simple video, with simple tools, I will try to fix my own I'm all ready have liquid cooler but after failing install, I meant it wasn't fit properly I accidently made my gpu dead , Good Job, And please tell me should you do it again in what conditions GPU broke again and what happen?, and what things I should avoid most stress or max heat will cause it broke again ?
Don't soldier and don't use heat gun it is firmware issue of gpu flash the firmware first upgrade then downgrade your gpu will be fine if not the only solution is to reball
That is correct, firmware driver can also cause video display issues. I have a video on this process. th-cam.com/video/U2n1Xpcja7k/w-d-xo.html However, this video is for those whom already tried reinstalling the video card driver and still has issues. So this is more so a last attempt resolutions before any purchases a new video card. The video card I did this to, still works fine today. Thanks
Majority of laptops have an internal graphics card which cannot be removed. I would highly recommend that you inspect the laptop for dust, clean it with compressed air. Regarding the artifacts affect, if your laptop is displaying this issue, you can try to update your video card drivers, lower the game display settings to find a setting that works. But ultimately your goal would be to purchase a gaming rig or build one.
Mine did but some video cards may require a reflow or replace of the GPU or memory chips. Search around your area for a shop that repairs motherboards and videos cards. These are businesses whom specialize in electronic boards. Some may charge $100-$300 for repairs depends on the board/chipset. Hope you find a solution.
Bro, this is not a recommended fix. It will be temporary and the problem will come back again. To fix this permanently you have 2 choices: a reballing or a reflow. Reballing requires expensive tools and experiences so you need to send this to professionals if you want to do so. Reflowing is also difficult but you can do it with right equipements. You will need a pre-heater (something that can heat up the board from the back (under the GPU) and a Rework Station (a professional hot air station that is specially designed for that). You'll also need a thermo-couple or an infrared thermometer + an Amtech flux that will help the solder balls melting correctly. You can find tutorials on youtube.
This would be the best case scenario for "preventive maintenance". This would be something you should do at least every 4-5yrs. But that also depends on the load/stress and heat on your GPU. So in simplest terms, this is consider maintenance which is periodic thing to do for optimal performance and lifespan of your video card.
No worries. But as mentioned in the video and description, this would be classified as a temporary fix. Permanent fix is to get the GPU reflow. This particular video card has been working fine since this video. Thanks

Good deal brotha. LOVE it when you can fix a issue with the simplest tool such as a heat gun lol.
what a crispy graphics card bro, does it taste good?
Fixed my AMD Radeon HD 7870 this way like 7 months ago, and still working perfectly to this day lol.
It def works. Fixed 2 cards last night that was artifacting and not posting or boot windows. Today I have 2 perfectly working gpu's. I was quite surprised it worked and fyi I put the heat right to em. Thanks for this video. You the man.
Much respect Tim, I am glad this video has helped you.
@@AWordFromMrJones what temp do you use or recommend, Thanks Bossman.
Please guys only use this method on cards that have artifacts problems and only if you are sure that the artifacting isn't caused by a corrupted bios or a driver issue .
Btw nice video mate , keep it up !
I agree indeed! Thank you for the comment.
bro tysm, this worked with a blow dryer for me but still thx
Good deal, I'm glad you found a solution. Don't forget to add additional case fans to keep your rig running cool.
Bro, it doesn't last long. I tried it with an rtx 2060, it doesn't last long👍👍👍👍
Nice video! I’ll try with my GTX 970.
Cool, hopefully this will resolve your issue.
@@hatplayz7084 I've read that the oven method will likely do more damage then help.
Some have destroyed their cards and oven trying that way.
can you show me where the bios chip is on the msi r9 380 4g?

The video card I did this to, still works fine today.
Thanks
This is an informative video.
Thank you sis!
@@AWordFromMrJones You're welcome Bro.
Sup dude, does the card still work?
Yes sir, still working fine today.
what to do for Laptops?

Does this videocard still work. Long term solution?
Still working for me, I use it on my gaming rig.
did it last?

200 ... way to high 100 for 30Mins is max i would resolder any gpu
damn yo monitor dirty af

How many hours can i do that in my gpu?
I wouldn’t say hours but 30-40 minutes tops should do.
@@AWordFromMrJones Thanks mine was also fixed. Thanks alot .
@@royaldrinyonzon2113 No problem, glad this video was helpful to you.
Don't want to be a negative Nancy but you are doing more damage than good, this is NOT a fix

omg, are you ok?
Lol yes I’m ok.
He do some artefacts?
No artifacts after this.
