I suggest you add directional lights left and right angled 30 to 40 deg and turn off your ring lights from your microscope to remove the glare. you will have a better view on the board. just a suggestion.🙂
wanted to inform as a native from the island, I will explain a little of the environment. Puerto Rico is a tropical rain forest. combine the constant rain high humidity rate and temps within 80+ all year around and homes with no AC. the homes are made of thick cinder blocks which keeps the homes cooled. but it does little to fix that humidity issue. that is why you are seeing rust on that card. but as always good video :)
This is pretty darn amazing. Great job!
I just wish there was someone as competent in any major town. Our throw-away culture is disgusting.
These repairs aren't exactly free 😅
@@nicoful86 yeah, but if it can be repaired its worth more to sell a refurbished card than to throw away especially a newer card. I give all my old pcs to my friends or family whenever I upgrade or refurbish a pc. It just sucks throwing "E-waste" out as its expensive to recycle and bad for the environment to throw in a land fill (allegedly)
"some corrosion on the output ports"... while I don't know what happened to this particular card, this sort of corrosion is pretty typical in the climate of the Caribbean. Down there, I've seen relatively new and well maintained hifi-/TV-equipment on which the plugs/sockets were completely covered in rust. Tropical climate + close proximity to the ocean = rust. I guess you'd need gold (plated) connectors or keep this sort of equipment in a climate-controlled room, otherwise this sort of stuff is just a matter of "when". :)
I couldn't sleep and was blessed with another repair by N-W R. These repairs have become one of my favorite things to watch lately. Amazing work. I noticed the style in which you've made your videos changed drastically from only a few months ago. I have to say I really like the clean audio and improved camera work you have now. Very pleasant.
First batch of Gigabyte Aorus RX-580 i received from miners were directly in front of air conditioning, which spray a lot of water droplets while defrosting. As a result, there was a lot of corrosion. I had 24 cards and went the lazy way, i've put them in ultra-sonic cleaner and then reflow oven. Turned out to be a huge mistake, as i couldn't see the more affected areas anymore, i spent way more time than if i cleaned one by one.
I really like watching channels like yours, it makes me feel like someone is doing my job for me, sometimes better or faster than i would have. What's the most satisfying for me is seeing components/devices come back to life anyway, money is a side bonus. Thank you for your content!
every city should have person like this guy. thousands of dollars saved, many ppl happy, good for environment, etc.. i recently unsubscribed from similar guy who was throwing away hard fixes..i understand time is money in rich countries but guy was making fun of ppl who do hard fixes disregarding that not everybody everywhere easy throw away and buy new for hundreds of dollars.. its easy to forget that sometimes something like professional pride and satisfaction also make some specialists sacrifice a bit more time to make something bad work again and maybe bring some ppl joy.
You should take under account the reason and not only the action. If you do your best, spend your precious time doing a work and most of the clients do not appreciate your effort, would you still do it or you'll arrive at a certain point where you already know that your client will say that he or she believe it was an easy fix and it should cost very little. Think about this for a while. We can all judge but can we do better?
Just some video idea for you, I hope you consider it: how and where to apply thermal pads ourselves (especially below the backplate) if the manufacturer was careless. Aka what and how to recognize the most heat generating things on a board (for dummies).
Behind memory chips.
Thick enough to contact the board and back plate.
Unbelievable know-how and skills 👏
I have some broken GTX 980 TIs here and I would like to try to repair them, but I think I would really need your memory test for that. Probably I have to run it blind 😅
You can actually find the memory test tool he uses in the description. There are multiple versions of it available on the Internet as well. Fun fact, its a official nvidia tool that got leaked
You can put a good working PCI VGA board into the chassis and tell the bios to boot that (i.e. more than one GPU in the system), then your memory test wouldn't need to be blind. I mean, it wouldn't hurt to set up a boot disk that autoruns a memory test for you.
You just write memtest to a usb then boot from the drive
a faulty resistor, tracked down and replaced, amazing stuff.
Wow, good job. I didn't think that board had a chance.
Thanks!
You inspire me. I want to learn hiow to do this. Love your content dude
Thanks.
Awesome video man. Thanks for the boardview and schematics. This will help me a lot.
Your videos are great the knowledge and experience shown is amazing .. I love working on electronics .. and this video has so much packed in to them . Keep up the great work .👍👍
Another GPU saved to game another day 😀
It would be awesome to know people that enjoy this kind of videos, amazing video as always
This really really makes me get into electronics and have my own pc parts repair shop someday, but all the logic and inhumane math in electronics is very discouraging as I have very very big difficulties with math, it's borderline dyscalculia at this point. Great job.
he didn't use any math to repair this board once you understand the basic concepts of repair you just go through a procedure and it will diagnose the problem every time
the only way to get good at it is the more you do it the better you get this guys been doing this for decades
i love this guy he is striate what is wrong on the board and get to his point .and he gives a shit (not in the wrong way) and he does not leaf it unintended good job !!!!! and fix it
I want to buy a 3060 later this year so I'm glad that this video let me see all the thermal pads It needs to have before disassembly it. Thanks for the video.
Just remember to source the spec sheet too. Not all 3060s have the same PCB layout. I believe.
why even disassemble a 3060... not really worth it other than cleaning
This is another video that really shows how good you really are. Nice
Hello! Greetings from Puerto Rico!
Love your job on these graphic cards, very inspiring. It surprised me at 10:25 you replaced the 30k resistor and again at 10:44 lol.
I'm learning a lot with your videos, keep being as awesome as always.
I think people would be interested in seeing you make do a video just showing what it is you are doing at certain times. Like explaining what the materials are that you're using when you are replacing some of the components. You could even just use clips from videos you already made where you go into detail. For example when you put the liquid down & the heating along with the braided soldering metal used when changing VRAM or Mosfet. I think its fascinating to be honest. Just a thought.
WOW... AWESOME JOB!!! I love watching your vids... I can actually learn from them. Thank you
You sir are very skilled
Fun watching an artist at work!
Excellent Video !!! Keep up the great work.
Did you do that resistor twice @10:35 or was it duplicated during editing? Just wondering, it doesn't matter either way. Nice fix, once again, your knowledge and problem tracking skills are second to none ⭐
Same recording twice somehow.
Good cache !
an ultrasonic cleaner together with Elma TEC Clean S1 works wonders in removing corrosion/liquid damage residues.
As usual, entertaining and informative video.
Another great job 👍
Chapeau grandes compétences de vos réparations vous êtes incroyables🌍
Nice repair, good job!
Oh pubes are integral part of any customer's computer :D
love your tecnics
You're going to want to get that board back to finish fixing it!
Take a look at 6:02. Above F6503, there's a component that gets desoldered when you removed F6503 and you knock it. There's an open slot above it. You then removed the component and took your eyes off the board. Instead of putting the component back where it belonged, you reinstalled it in the open spot above it. If those pads are all connected, then no biggie, but if not, then the artifacts seen on the first boot at 11:48 could be related to this error.
those connections are paralleled. I double checked.
Your opening line where you said "I got an EVGA 3060 all the way from Puerto Rico"... Its pronounced "Aye" not "Eye"...
Other than that, you're golden.
(JK. No problems in your pronounciation)
another killer video!
That PCB discoloration is concerning. Glad to see that it hasn't impacted the function of the card.
When GTX 480s were new I ran a custom loop that leaked at the lower motherboard fitting and drowned the top GPU on first boot up, it was months before I expirenced SLI.
Yea more videos! I enjoy !
that woolly might be pet fur,card must be damage from pet piss
I would like to see a Colorful RTX 3060 Ti repair and evaluate if they make good cards. For some reason mine is running hot for a recently purchased GPU.
People who praise EVGA wernt around when their 1000 series cards were blowing up because of cheap power components and their remedy was sending free thermal pads in snail mail which did nothing 💀
3:08, did you use the included hairball to clean the flux? thats a pro move right there!
Amazing!
Glad I got MSI RTX 3060 Gaming X 💞
Prolly best 3060
Should try evga ftw version
Yes #EVGA send you leftover GPU inventory to #northwestrepair.
before 6:40 you moved that cap to different location
Those traces are paralleled so no problem there.
that was painfull to see
Hello,
Have you seen the increase in complaints about RTX 3050 recently ?
Many people are having problems with RTX 3050 Cards lately whichever the brand it maybe on low loads it shuts itself off or freezes the system it's the most common problem, NVIDIA launched new driver update for that same issue but many people are still complaining about it..Some of them replaced the card but they complained about it later.
In my case my Gigabyte RTX 3050 OC 8GB Gaming (bought it 6 months ago, this issue never occurred until now) is failing to carry heavy tasks like gaming, benchmarking and heavy 3D Production stuff, what happens is it stops showing video output on screen screen goes black (No BSOD) and the fans spins like crazy more than 7000 rpm.
I updated all the drivers it needed, changed power plans settings, changes the NVIDIA control panel settings to High performance mode but nothing is solving the problem...
No I don't know.
It would be interesting to get one of those cards for diagnostic.
i just started the video and i already think this is either unrepairable or HUGE head ache
Brilliant as always. Do you do other things as well? I have a corsair Kbd that thought it liked milk and now a few letters super repeat.
I've seen several of your repair videos and just wanted to say that you are in the completely wrong field. If you're able to do this sort of microscopic fine work without literally blowing your brains out, you should be a micro-surgeon of some sort earning millions of dollars each year. It would take a lot of schooling, but if you kept your eyes on the prize, you'd be rich. Not only that, you'd physically be saving lives.
When I try to penetrate the eye of a small sewing needle with a fine thread, each failed attempt makes me more and more bonkers to the point that I actually have to go away and recompose myself, else I might become aggressive and start to damage things. There's a word or phrase that describes this mental condition, but it eludes me. Still, I think you get my point. This is the #1 reason why I never seriously pursued a career in board-level repair work, as the unremitting superfine delicate handwork would drive me to suicide. Even loosening and tightening tiny watch-style screws drives me over the edge.
Anyway, your calm mind and supernaturally precise motor skills have to be in the topmost percentile. You should capitalize on that. Seriously.
"micro-surgeon of some sort earning millions of dollars each year." lol you good? to be that it takes a bit more than to be able to repair graphic cards... obv. no clue
Do you have any idea how much money someone must spend to be able to follow that? How many years?
Learned and liked 👍
great !
Why does it have x cut to sticker?
nice work guys see hi türkiye
Hello, your videos are very good. I have an RTX 3090 EVGA, it does not have shorts, but it does not give voltage in 1.8
I have voltage of 12 volt and 5 volt but that's all.
What could you recommend me?
Thank you so much
What program is that board view? Without it's almost impossible to trace components
Is termalpads necessary if card comes without ones on memory? It looks like it intended to cooled by fans though radiator. Card is rx580 2048sp xfs red wolf. Temperature about 70-80 Celsius
I am gonna guess the owner had a top mounted AIO that he over screwed. The results was him puncturing a radiator tube, which caused the AIO to leak on the GPU, bringing it to the condition you got it.
Or the Owner managed to get one of those vietnamese videocards they pressure washed and is doing a hail mary with you trying to fix it.
Can you make a video about mods mats and where to get it from
0:39 I bet those are hairs from a dog or smth
Wow.
minute 6:10 component gets removed then reattached in different spot are those pads using the same traces?
I mate this oscilloscope can do the job like you do? fnirsi 138 pro?
Any scope up to 100MHZ is enough
Witch Boardpartner would you bye?
Why was there a merkin in the card?
what is a merkin ?
I somehow find it funny that a resistor is broken and that's why the thing doesn't work.
Yea i think i could replace a surface mount resistor. That's well within my skills. Finding out which resistor, not so much. Or, well if somebody told me it's one of them that's faulty, maybe. But from ground up, i would never have found what's the reason this doesn't start.
Do not say this. Usually if you look closely in areas where the corrosion took place you can see that some components seem to not be quite all right. I had once a resistor missing and because more than half resistors around were 1Ko I soldered a 1Ko one and the card is still working after two or three years. A card has many memory areas and if something's not right one can always measure components in similar places. How to do that, this is an entirely other story but eventually you'll have your own method or you'll learn one from someone else.
@@Dandan-tg6tj Oh. Thank you. It does sound simple when you say it like that, still i have no enough confidence but ah well replacing a resistor that's working does no harm. Unless i do harm when replacing but that i'm confident enough to try. There is a broken old GPU on sale locally and. Well your comment came at a right time since i can just go and get that to try. The fault does seem like corrosion from the images too.
What? Lashing out because EVGA is not making cards anymore?
Someone poured water on my GPU while its turned off. I wiped and let it dry with a external for several hours and played game for 1 hour and it was fine. But today one displayport port is saying no signal but other ports are working. Does water do damage to ports?
Water does damage to all electronic parts.
How much did your macroscope/camera cost you? I'm not a trained repairer so I don't know what to call them and am simply curious.
3-400
Is it worth it to send a 3060 to be fixed from Puerto Rico privately? The shipping must have cost a fortune.
Cheaper than a new 3060
USPS shipping is 25 for you I think.
For me it's like 12 bucks for a small flat rate box 8x6
Where can I go for advice or repair quotes?
Link in description.
Did anyone else notice when he replaced the blown fuse he put the small component in the wrong place?
I did ?
Do you have a time stamp ?
@@northwestrepair You start working on the fuse at 5:58, notice the location of the component just above the fuse, and move the what looks like a resistor, to a second set of pads at about 6:15. Didn't mean to call you out, I just notice things like that.
Nice toad
Sure is
hello. you got nice video and you can see we subscribe on your channel.
I have a question for you. I see the power bench for card testing whit digital screen.
can you give us a hint you buy it or build it yourself. Its very handy tools.
Thanks in advance!
post code reader
@@northwestrepair
Hello,
I mean this orange box whit power switch and on-screen measurement!
Your testing tools.
What is the liquid you're putting there?
6:15 caps move from lower pad to upper pad 😂
Lol that's funny. I am glad you noticed.
How ever, this is just a 12v filtering cap.
There are plenty of them in the circuit so it's not like it's going to effect anything in a long run.
If am not mistaken, this is a higher value cap went to pads that are not even used so no harm here.
I'd wager that was pubic hair... and "water" damage. And you were touching the card without gloves!
I know some people are fanboys, but that's taking it WAAAAAY too far!
Do you have a discord channel?
I'm no expert on graphics cards so I wouldn't know if any thermal pads are missing. Is there a way to tell? Observation: The soldermask on that card looked like someone took a flamethrower to it. {^_^}
how often do you change gpu thermals
depends on the brand
he's saying numbers that are not on multimeter
i dont have to be exact.
@@northwestrepair you can be off by miles?
@@snowpuddle9622 Sometimes there's a delay between audio and video. It happens. Stay focused on the prize.
It's not so much difficult as time consuming.
It's really difficult not only time consuming.
When you've never tried it yourself, it may seem not difficult. That's the mistake all people who don't know anything about it are doing. It only looks not so difficult but it is.
I don't see how this cheap of a GPU would make any sense to repair??
Since when does Puerto Rico allow their citizens to have a computer in their own home. Whoever owns that gpu must be filthy rich or that gpu belongs to a internet cafe
Really!???
Puerto Rico is a free country.. why wouldn't they be able to own a pc i think your confusing Puerto Rico with Cuba.
@@reaperactualgaming3075 Potato or Potato. It's all the same 🤣🤣🤣
