We is a nice word. It's like engaging us the viewers that we participated in the fix. That is why it's entertaining to watch. You learn a lot and you feel like you did something. :>
I really enjoy your videos I can say I’ve learnt allot from these and reason why I really enjoy is because you straight to the point and honest well done brother may God guide you
Oh no, its not nice, look at the overflow on the left 😉 (Couldn't resist after hearing you say it). Nice work once again. Always enjoy watching not only your work but your explanation. I hope you are able to teach others and possibly have them work for you to help you out.
"Pluralis majestatis" used to say ancient romans, we instead of I, but only the king could tell and you're the king of repairs. Another lesson of good repair, thanks Alex
I just have to say that you have the hands of a surgeon! Its impossible to understand just how small some of those components are until you are looking at them with your own eyes. Some of those resistors are the size of a grain of salt and are blown away by a light exhale! Ask me how I know 🤦♂️. Your videos are a great resource for learning to deal with smd components and I don't think I could have succeeded with my own 0402 sized repair without them.

I have good soldering skill and I can do SMD rework too but my diagnosis level is at of a child.😔😔 I'm learning but it's hard to find a good teacher who can teach how to actually do it and your videos always blows my mind with Hows and WoWs. I wish I had a mentor like you in my country.
But Alex, if it's overflowing outside the chip, isn't it also overflowing inside, shorting the chip? Solder will spread inside the gaps on the chip. You're correct, some of us think you're using too much. Thank you for posting this video.
Given the natural surface tension of the solder in the presence of flux, the solder will only adhere to the metal pads under the chip. It will not stay in the areas between the pads.

There is a so mouch easyer way to find where is the shortcut. Just use a 5.5 digit multimeter, and then check the resistance before the inductor what is after after the DC-DC, and after the Inductor. There is a minimum 50miliohm resistance difference. Then you just find where is the lowest one between the inductor and the IC. Then you dont need to power up the whole circuit and pray for not to die the processor. It's works every time.
Hi sir ,i am from india and was watching ur video when i was working on the system....please do more videos if u have time because i am interested to watch it and like it very much.......thanks a lot
I remember you asking about some parts on a gfx card (not sure what it was) so i thought i would share this guy as he seemed pretty knowledgeable wtih graphic card components. maybe it can help. The General Troubleshooting "Algorithm" to follow when diagnosing Graphics Cards - CmdrSoyo
Are you saying that people call because they physicly know when you are making a video? (funny how it happened right after your joked about the psychic next door) LOL
My one side of earpod stop working all functions are working only speaker not ,but when I check in it there are two resistor are short what should I do ??
Just picked up a "broken" 1080 ti, 770 ti, RX 580, 7950, Asus B450 board, Asus Crosshair Formula z 990FX, and Maximus V 1155 board all for a 12-pack of busch. Gonna be a busy weekend!
I ... so sorry we say the psychic said alex would fix the video card ...viola and you did ....great video alex ...you are very witty today ... how is big boss ?
Kapton tape can be better than nothing, but it has its issues as well. When exposed to extreme heat, it may shrink and curl a bit, and this can displace components with melted solder.
Hi Alex! I was thinking about the layout of the 12v vrms and i am thinking that if you have a short on the mosfets, then you could apply higher voltage with the positive probe of the injection tool to the 12v input and the negative probe on the output of the vrms. In this way you can apply higher voltage and have higher current passing through the sorted mosfet and the high current doesnt pass through the gpu into ground. Correct me if i am wrong! Anyway a great fix once again!!!
@@Knebebelmeyer Yeah. But remember when a mosfet is shorted, a direct path between the 12v line and the output of the vrms meaning the output of the mosfets/switching transistors that passes through the inductor and the smoothing caps into the vcc of the gpu and to ground.
it wont surprise me if during manufacturing the voltage on the boards are much higher then when it eventually becomes a videocard while voltage is a problem the problem only comes later as your just decreasing the lifespan but if done for heck even a day it shouldn't harm the videocard much your more concerned about the temperature during that voltage then the voltage itself its why you can have a cpu overclocked with over 1.45v with a liquid cooler and barely influenced the lifespan offcourse you don't want to do that but most of us already have a new system before that overclock killed the cpu that said ryzen really benefits from a slight voltage offset of -0.05 it improves thermals but also improves performance gotta love how infinity fabric works
I'm on my third RMA with gigabyte for my video card in 4 months, how often do you see these repairs come back with the same issue again? I'm comfortable enough to replace mosfets, but I don't have a thermal camera or injector, or id try it because i'm tired of waiting on RMAs at this point.
I never got any word back on that microphone amplifier from the British company. Not even a, "Sorry, we don't give our schematics". Anyway, an old model on a resell would have been better as then it would be cheaper and the extra parts as well for later.
Wow that card has a 4 year warranty why not just RMA it, by the way a low end version of that card starts at around $1,723.07 retail. The only reason is it was purchased on eBay as a defective card and then sent to a shop like this one to get fixed for a fraction of whant it cost. In turn they can resale the card for a substantial profit.
Try finding the fault (lots of mosfets)........Good Luck (8:05 & 8:09).........what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. I will look for you, I will find you.
There are times when I do wonder if under the chip, there is touching of solder from the globs left for the re-soldering. It looks like there might be too much solder put down on the larger pads. I suppose it they were touching then you would read a short? As always, great show Sir.
a lot of manufactors search reason to dont do RMA , they check for micro cracks , defect and say is you fault , in other cases someone buy a card you buy fromt that person but they dont give you you original receipt you are fuck that happen to me
Watching all your videos is therapeutic and a joy. Thank you for putting all these videos together. Appreciate your hard work and time.
We is a nice word. It's like engaging us the viewers that we participated in the fix. That is why it's entertaining to watch. You learn a lot and you feel like you did something. :>
Your videos are way more interesting than most other ones I've seen, and your logic covers more than just for repairs.
Liked what you said about the "psychic" next door who didn’t see it coming! 😄👍
Having the right tools to do the job right is mandatory.
Always great to see another GPU saved, So many go to waste, Here in the UK repairs are too costly :)
This is worth over $2000 it is worth the cost
@@dafalzonAUS get it RMA
I really enjoy your videos I can say I’ve learnt allot from these and reason why I really enjoy is because you straight to the point and honest well done brother may God guide you

I see way too many 3090's on this channel, scary.
I like the letter that you do not like "I". It is good..All should be remember "Don't let "I" controll you..
Very nice work. Nice and smooth like a pro. Without stress. Thank you for that video. I hope you get a little help with your work soon. Greets

That heat spot was so subtle I’m amazed you saw it

i like shorts to, especially in the summer
these videos help me sleep at night
I love how happy you get when you find the fault😄
I love the smile @9:50 when the short is found!
Very interesting vídeo,Thanks to you im learning everyday😁
Hi sir ,i am from india and was watching ur video when i was working on the system....please do more videos if u have time because i am interested to watch it and like it very much.......thanks a lot
2:42 "There's a sucker born every minute" that's why 😁
What are the chances that it is used for mining?
Good eye. The first angle I didn't notice any discoloration.
nice video alex , you can try to inject the voltage next time and check your coils , the one which is passing the voltage is the faulty mosfet's coil.
I wonder if you would get a short on the gate of the bad mosfet. That would make it easyer for us that dont own a business shop or a thermal camera :)
@Bertold Van den Bergh Hi can you share how you do this?
I remember you asking about some parts on a gfx card (not sure what it was) so i thought i would share this guy as he seemed pretty knowledgeable wtih graphic card components. maybe it can help. The General Troubleshooting "Algorithm" to follow when diagnosing Graphics Cards - CmdrSoyo
"I is a very ugly word" Just recently, in life, learned this the hard way.
When wife calls, you better answer!!
Ohne question: Why videocards does fail so often and mainboads does not? Ist that bebcause mainboards are much cheaper, so they can be replaced?
Are you saying that people call because they physicly know when you are making a video? (funny how it happened right after your joked about the psychic next door) LOL
I don't know how possible it would be to do a focused zoom out from some of these components, but it would be a very cool visual.
love your postings, Thank you!
I really like to see your vídeos.
I'm not a professional, just a curious.
When you called for psychic's, I paused and thought this is what I would do. Use rosin flux with electric stimulation.
شكرا لك على هذا الشرح اهي ولكن هل مكن مستقبلا ان تظهر شاشه الديجتال الافوميتير والبور سبلاي على طرف الشاشه لنستفيد اكثر
oh no..you did everything professionally, how could you do that! :)
new T-Shirt: "LOOK AT THIS -- THE SHORT IS GONE!"
They didnt see it comming but they were Psychic lol good one Alex
Watching master.....always support im sorry sometimes im busy.
@2:45 I live the jab at the psychic not seeing it coming 😂😂😂
My one side of earpod stop working all functions are working only speaker not ,but when I check in it there are two resistor are short what should I do ??

Such a garbage beer...
Good deal for you. Bad deal for him.
With a name like that it’s a sitting on the couch weekend!!! 🤣 jk bro good luck 🍀
I have the AMD equivalent with similar issues.
I wish i had the tools and knowledge to fix it.
I ... so sorry we say the psychic said alex would fix the video card ...viola and you did ....great video alex ...you are very witty today ... how is big boss ?
wish someday i could run a same repair shop like yours. equipments and tech are amazing
What causes short circuits on video cards?
I have the same ringtone on my phone 😂💪🏼
Love your videos
Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Loved the thermal camera
8:34 a heatsink? is kapton tape not recommended here? just wondering.
Good job mate.
Is kapton tape a good substitute to shield components from heat?
No. Kapton tape is not that good. Aluminum foil tape is much better.
Wrap kapton tape around your finger then touch a hot soldering iron tip. Let us know what happens.
Kapton tape can be better than nothing, but it has its issues as well. When exposed to extreme heat, it may shrink and curl a bit, and this can displace components with melted solder.
More grace, Master.

LOL the psychic didn't see it coming when you took their shop 😂🤣😅🙄🙃
I’ve never overclocked my gpus ever, still going strong and it’s a asus strix Rtx 2060 super 8gb!!!! Nice work as always brother!!! Short is gone!!!👌
your a seer with tools sir
@NorthRidgeFix or ALLL, were can I buy some rectifer diod like the ER5026?
it wont surprise me if during manufacturing the voltage on the boards are much higher then when it eventually becomes a videocard while voltage is a problem the problem only comes later as your just decreasing the lifespan but if done for heck even a day it shouldn't harm the videocard much your more concerned about the temperature during that voltage then the voltage itself

that said ryzen really benefits from a slight voltage offset of -0.05 it improves thermals but also improves performance gotta love how infinity fabric works
There's a phycic near us with cars for sale. I told them why don't they call up the people who in the future will ultimately buy them from you. 😅
Good Job

I could not see the heat. He is the chip whisperer.
Psychic 🔮 "i guess they did not see it coming" LMAO
"We did it" 👍👍
Came in for repair.
"we" really enjoyed this video
good work!
And now we pray the DrMOS didn't short 12V to GPU Vcore
Thank you for the tips! I'm trying to learn all I can!
معلم يا عمار تسلم دياتك
Awesome job bro keep rocking bro 👍👍👍
That psychic place had no future there. One time I went in and they actually asked me "how can I help you?". Then I replied "well, you tell me!".
I never got any word back on that microphone amplifier from the British company. Not even a, "Sorry, we don't give our schematics".
Anyway, an old model on a resell would have been better as then it would be cheaper and the extra parts as well for later.

How much do you charge someone for a job like this
The psychic shop did not see it coming
Lets take it to home to test it..
Try finding the fault (lots of mosfets)........Good Luck (8:05 & 8:09).........what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. I will look for you, I will find you.
Could just pull them off one by one until the short goes. Potentially time consuming tho. If your a hobbyist or have plenty of spare time....

Nice job 😎👍
You work as a team, so we is much more suitable, like you say.
Hi using nvmt tools?
nobody returns their card to manufacturer for service anymore? Crypto bank, stolen?
I've seen some US customer fail to get RMA from Gigabyte, I don't know what happen to their RMA policy
a lot of manufactors search reason to dont do RMA , they check for micro cracks , defect and say is you fault , in other cases someone buy a card you buy fromt that person but they dont give you you original receipt you are fuck that happen to me
