The chip is a drmos, driver and mosfet in a single package, manufactured by alpha omega i believe and it can be found in a gtx 1660
Thanks for posting your videos. I can legitimately fix electronics after watching you and others on TH-cam. Had a lot of previous knowledge, but your put me over the top on trouble shooting and soldering.
can you fix my gpu ? :d
Great job and impressive repair skills, from a 20yrs experienced electronic designer let me say that you can call yourself an electronic engineer more than most of my collegues.
just imagine how many of these would be wasted if people didn't have to pay through the nose for these cards?
"Work smart, not hard."
One of the first lessons my Father began teaching my siblings and i when we were kids.
That and "If you are gonna do it, do it right."
like spelling. * you're
You should make a t-shirt with the logo and text "The short is gone!" :)
Yes I agree
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't know why I celebrate with Alex every time he finds the issue as if I was involved lol.
Same reason I do probably - he looks so happy and proud when he's fixed the device or debugged a difficult problem.
Every gamer who has had their cards busted knows the pain.. all of us celebrate life when a card is brought back to life 👍👍
@@CheekyBuns cringe
За овакви ситни работи, навистина треба човек да има силни и јаки нерви 🙂 Браво мајсторе 👍
These 3000 series cards are practically brand new. Why aren't people returing those cards for under warranty replacement / repair.
Because here, better than factory
exactly, agree. never buy expensive card without warranty, never.
Bought it 2nd hand, Gigabyte refused to RMA.
Becuz they broke the warranty, by overclocking etc.
Or a benchtest that blow up the card.. It happens
Cos even if RMA it'll take forever to get it back.
I love your enthusiasm when you fix something. Recently bought some items from you and I can't wait until you have the short circuit injector so I can purchase one from you. Keep up the great work.
You guys need to hire more GPU repair guys, we're dying out here!
Huge appreciation for your work and effort to make these videos. Thank you.
Hey man, just discovered your channel but just wanted to say thank you for talking out the entire problem and process.
@NorthridgeFix That mosfet is currently not possible to buy, because Gigabyte ask manufacturers to not sell them. Gigabyte is taking all produced parts for themselfs. That mosfet is available only in broken GIGABYTE 30XX series cards ONLY!
How nice of them. Refuse RMA and then prevent 3rd parties from repairing the card by ensuring parts are not available.
And this is why "Right to Repair" exists
First time watching your videos. You're my new hero. I love seeing people work who know what they're doing.
Bummer you couldn't fix it in this video. Your technical abilities are awesome. I can't wait for the follow-up.
انا ماعرف شنو قاعد تسوي لكن جدا استمتع في اتقانك للعمل قال رسول الله :(ان الله تعالى يحب اذا عمل احدكم عملا ان يتقنه )
You'e really helped me get my "mind right" regarding repairs. In the past I always fixated on the LSI chips. Millions and millions transistors and other internal elements. In a very basic way of thinking it seemed that if you had a group of millions of failure points or a hand full of discrete components, which one has a higher chance of failure. Of course that's not the case. The LSI chips are amazingly resilient and that a "hand full of discrete components" are usually where the smoking (pun not intended) is. Of course when a BIG BOY fails.. clearly it's additional cost and problems than a single FET, CAP, DIODE or... yada yada yads. Much appreciated. Live long, de-solderer and prosper. Cheers.
Your teaching and sharing is a good thing. Thank you!
If the warrant devices is treated like from NorthridgeFix work the world work well...
i love how the proper procedure for finding a short is just shoving power at it and seeing what gets hot
Its not available right now, even the manufacturer (alpha and omega) doesn't give any details about that mosfet. The closest solution is find any broke 3090 card that produced by gigabyte
You just need the same board regardless of manufacturer. Go to tech power up for board pictures
Love that power injecting tool. makes this work so much easier and time saver.
It is so rare to see a blown fuse. More often other elements that are not supposed to blow get shorted or blow😁 thanks as always!
LOGIC!
@@Snecho lol yeah, a fuse, not supposed to ever be a FUSE!
I got so into this video. When it went to the ads as Alex is waiting for the card to cool, I waited patiently 😆. As always great job.
You still was able to fix that graphics card. A potential fix is better than a no fix. Keep up the great work.
This is first time I have seen your channel and so glad I came across it. This is awesome what you do!!!!
A rare event indeed when Alex doesn't have a replacement component available. Very skillful use of hot air, only experience and a steady hand can do.

Thank you for sharing this Informationen with us. But from where did you find this modellnommber? I mean the modell on the chip is different
@@omaribrahim2736 google search with bits of the printed model number, like "AL00 Mosfet" only. See what gets shown. In this case it showed me a chip on aliexpress. Once you see a component showing up, but other model number, look for data sheet of the new model, if that is what you are looking for you have hit the bullseye ;)

Love your facial expression on the caps not blowing, blessed brother.
For those who asks about why not to use warranty and RMA, I've bought 2 Aorus Extreme 3080, one for me and one for my friend for new builds, I've build the PC's and what I see - total overheating in any application, even in some games. Why that - because absolutely every new card from gigabyte out with garbage thermal pads, which can't handle high temperatures. So I decided to change thermal pads to Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad - gigabyte refused to change it for me officially, so I opened the cards and changed thermal pads, stock pads were already dead, absolutely new sealed videocards on second day after purchase have dead pads after gaming, imagine this garbage pads. So after opening cards I'm void the warranty and my temperatures become normal, especially abnormal memory chips temperature what was around 100°C and even higher, it's 70 degree now in any heavy load
I used the Gelid extreme in my 3090 dropped from 105°C to 65-70°C
Those flir cameras are expensive but they pay off for themselves so quickly!
When you have Alex's work volume it is always a good idea to invest in tools which shorten your work time, even if they are expensive. As the saying goes "Time is money".
Which model thermal cam is that?
@@alphabeets I've asked numerous times but I guess he doesn't have time to respond to all comments 🤷♂️

Awesome! Thank you!
I love your reaction when you remove a short!
Every time I see Alpha & Omega MOSFETs, my spidey sense starts tingling. 🤦♂️
"(injecting voltage) right here...did you see it?" NO! :)) This is called "experience". Great job man!
Honestly pretty impressed. Nice work!
by taking photos of graphics cards in 8k you help other services, knowing what parts are falling and see where on the pcb what has burned, the service will order parts faster and repair the graphics card faster
@selorius
Then they would be guessing not repairing.
Unless they are testing, it is just a shot in the dark
Waiting for part 2, your are doing a great job
It is not just what you do but how you do it, great hosting and top skills with a lot of exp gained over the years, thank you for sharing your knowledge and keep posting Videos.
Cheers
Honestly what do people do to video cards. So many are broken. Good job 👏. Can't wait for part 2. Better than factory 💪.
Nothing. Besides gaming and streaming, nothing ^.^
But in this case, it's just poor card design. So many people with the same model are having the same issue.
Hi Alex, Came across your channel a couple of weeks ago, needless to say sir you are a master of your craft. Enjoy your videos immensely. Being in the same trade for 20 plus years I truly have learned a lot from yourself. Keep it up ;-)
A graphics card from Dubai... awesome. Look how far your channel goes 👍. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
I got my cards and miners at IMINERS,CO and they are great group of people. Cards and miners are awesome, support is insane, shipping is fast and they provide wholesale discount. My recommendation for them.
great miners out there. I owm them to and they are insane.
Please leave some GPU's left for us gamers as theyre all out of stock
I'm from Germany and I like electronic , you do a great job .thank you for the video's
My friend Northbridge here can do this on carpet and on water and still complete the job without worriying about ESD and any type of interferences. Hes one of the only real true onsite hardware technician master who doesnt NEED a Gamers Nexus mat unlike 90% of these other so called tech youtubers who Does have the GN mat but dont really present any uses nor any real Tech fixes. Northbridge fix, He presents Real live onsite fixes here NOT for views But for the PEOPLE. It doesnt matter what it is , on this channel he dont got time to be trying to make the studio look pretty in exchange for clout and views nor is he trying to sell you a gimmick, but Here hes trying to help fix the existing hardware problems for THE PEOPLE and teach.
3:00 am here in Cali can’t wait to watch this while I eat breakfast
that is very early . i would be sleeping
@@sinnedcamel early bird watches the video card video first
@@larryfoster423 yep
@@sinnedcamel What is "sleeping"?
@@Snecho bro, don't you sleep . oh no we have a imposter .
I need this exact thing done right now for my 3090 , and they aren't accepting cards. This is insane.
I apologize if this is a question that has been answered previously, but how do you personally mitigate ESD? Are the table top covers specifically ESD safe, or is it just a combination of proper handling and the type of materials you lay components on and touch them with? There seems to be a huge focus on ESD in the gamer community, but I am well aware they are not pros like you.
Nice Video. With the right equipment and most important thing are KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE make you know what to check and identify the problem. You have my like, subscribe and respect man. Keep it up.
I wish this guy was near me . I could really use your expertise.
You should use Kapton tape to heat shield surrounding components when applying hot air.
Great video . Very intressting .
I got the feeling when see all GFX cards that are not old on the shelfs there is no qulity builds . some years ago never heard about GFX cards failing . And this 3090 etc are damn expensive so the buildquality & componentsquality shuld be way better so they last atleast a decade or more .
Do you think so much demand pushed companies to cheapen their components?
idk how you dont get those other lil mlc an things loose when removing them hehe, love it man working on getting my skill there
Tip : Covering the aluminum caps with teflon tape will prevent it from blowing out.

which graphic card you have on your home PC
bench ?
Solid hard core hands ! You are an asset to mankind !
Nice work as always, btw I wonder this thing is under warranty why don't they send it to manufacturer ?
Maybe because as ALL videocards in past 10 months was purchased from scalpers at ridiculous price, so there's no proof of purchase at his name
time to go pick up those discarded cards i once had the same issues with always informative when watching keep it up it is appreciated
I agree you definitely don't want to be taking MOSFETs off customers graphics cards
It seems the manufacturer of graphics card did not honour the warranty of the card. But awesome job. You are saviour of such gamers
alex has the experience that takes years of hard work.Thats tough stuff!
We are all waiting for this moment hhhhhh the short is gone nice work again your follower from morroco 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦♥️🇲🇦❤️❤️❤️
Because you’re from the SF Valley and operate right near where I grew up, I'll help you out. Most of the time when you have a non catastrophic failure on 10/20/30 series Nvidia, it's the lowside mosfet failing closed and blowing the fuse. If no fuse, it will blow the inductor downstream. A blown inductor is easy, just replace it and the lowside mosfet that feeds it....and back in business.If a blown fuse, you have to locate the short like you did. Catastrophic failures such as a blown mosfet/capacitors/etc are usually from a failed highside mosfet. If it’s GPU power phase, then GPU is probably OK. You'll usually lose a power phase when that happens, expecially if no fuse. If it’s memory power phase, then probably shorted VRAM and maybe damaged memory controller on core. Replace all VRAM, mosfets, and voltage controller (gives you your "power good"). If artifacts after full repair, then bad VRAM replacement or GPU core is damaged and needs replacement. To test if VRAM, you need to run MATS. If you can't boot the card or power it up, you can't run MATS. VRAM and any other BGA component should be reballed if taken from a donor card. Without proper reballing, thermal cycle will kill it again.
Kinda weird to send this in to Alex even though it should be under warranty. 🤔
It might have been ordered from abroad.
hard to get those GPUs these days and some companies just refund the money when you send it back to them instead of fixing it - thats where you'll struggle finding another GPU
I have to come back and check 3 times for the heat spot when you inject power. You're experience is amazing!
I honestly still dont see it. I would just inject more Amps.
Very nice and helpfull video. Hope you can do a second part of it. Damn, you have so many videocards to repair…thats really a lot of work.
Thanks for this video, i‘m looking forward to the next videos
Breaks my heart to witness all those sick vg cards laying around
Very impressive. Do you remember the resistance values for all the boards or do you keep a record of them to refer to?
I have questions, I just wonder if why sometimes you check first before replacing anything and sometimes you are directly replacing parts until it works. Why is it so? No hate just curious. I just want to know the technician's perspective because I am inspired to repair things as well. Thank you. I love your channel!
Gigabyte been using those AL000U1N's for ages. Had one in my GTX 1080 Ti Waterforce blow up. Fixed the card by removing it.
This is why we need Right To Repair to pass already. We can't purchase replacement parts and chips unless we purchase it from shady vendors in China.
I used foil or kapton tape to covers caps to avoid any excessive heat. Also use fuse wire for jumper on fuse. 👍
Awesome as usual. Thank you from Portugal.
Man, NorthridgeFix is on top of this.
i going to have to send my card to this wizard man to fix it
I know this channel will grow rapidly.
Good luck Man.
Makes me wonder If it would be worth it to fix my old GTX 960, Been running a GT 710 for awhile now because my 960 Just died one Day, Was told it wasn't worth the fix from most people.
I was never great working on smd but I really enjoy watching you videos. I have to explain to my lady why I'm laughing sometimes.
congratulations alex, keep up your excellent work, greetings from Brazil
These haven’t even been out a year. Why are some people not going back to the manufacture for a free repair under warranty and instead shipping half way across the world and paying someone to do it?
Good question 👆
Definitely going to send in my old hardware to see if they can be repaired.
That being said, I'll be waiting until I see less inventory in your shop, because it seems that your queue has grown with your popularity lolol
Edit: Also, you should likely buy a lot of components that this video card has, especially those related/sensitive to power. I don't know if you know, but the memory chips on the 3080/3090 (GDDR6X) can heat up to 110C , though miners / gamers are not supposed to push the card that far, I could see a lot of these chips failing due to factory crappy thermal pads not cooling the chip well. Most users don't want to replace the thermal pads, so temperatures suffer. Thus, I believe the memory chips will eventually need lots of replacements. Hopefully you can get your hand on those, though it may be difficult!
Love and respect from LIBYA 😘😘😍😍😍😍
Thanks for sharing your skill & knowledge Alex !
Alpha & Omega Semiconductor: First line = Part Number Code. First two symbols on second line are Year Code & Week Code respectively, the next two symbols on the second line are the Assembly Lot Code. Like the other guy said this appears to be similar to AOZ5332QI (Alpha & Omega Semiconductor).
After seeing that never ending waiting list of the cards that need to fixing, plus other devices that come to him I wonder how he manages a youtube channel, family, a e-commerce website all at once.
Super human I would say. Also family seems to be a huge help as well
The guy studied in the same school with Morty's grandpa, Rick. He is a master engineer.
Alex u re the best bro . Trust me . I enjoy ur videos to the max
Always the best. Great Video
I have a card which produces no video signal, but I was able to get it appearing and reporting as an Nvidia device in lspci inside linux. I think this means that it does not have a short, but I think I should still hunt for shorts, since you made it look so easy!
Love your work brother. Love it all
Hey mr. flash, how are doing. Today I tried to repair my msi 970 gaming motherboard, I found out that vrm section was shorted. I narrowed it down by flux & injecting 3.7v from a 18650 battery and removed 4 of the mosfets out of 32 mosfets. I was so happy but the sad part was I didn’t find the replacement mosfets (PK616BA & PK632BA) anywhere online. The search is still going. Anyways, just wanted to thank you for all the information you’ve shared & teaching us how to do it, hope you’ll find you solutions too. Best regards 🙏🥳
The first revision of the Gigabyte 3080s & 3090s (that are based on the reference design with the small extra cable to the pci charging socket, ergo VISION, EAGLE, GAMING) have been known to have problems with a loose contact between motherboard and the pci socket. Best always check that first, might save some trouble. My card had the same problem and got quickly repaired by Gigabyte.
There are some lists online to check if your serial number is affected (old batch), but that is bogus. Officially my card (according to the SN) should have been part of the fixed version, but had to be repaired nonetheless.
You do know your work, but, add some flux all around the component to be
removed. Spreads the heat, solder melts quicker, component comes off
quicker. And it also offsets some of the heat shock to the rest of the board.
Alpha and Omega DrMOS (Driver + 2 MOSFETs), you disappoint me Gigabyte...
I have an Asus RTX 2070. And it is running for years now. Never used an overclocking tool. This card works still pretty fine. Some might kill their hardware by just overclocking them and running too much power through those components. Never had an issue with a game. Always ran those games with ultimate settings. So i never felt i had to overclock anything. Everything is fine as long as it is running with 30 fps. But nowadays they all want 100 fps+. Totally unnecessary!
Just Remember to push the Lamp away the reflections & back light cant see chit the multimeter etc
Bought two Gigabyte Windforce RTX2070. One started artifacting just before 2 years. The other just before 3 years. It’s clear there’s something wrong with these cards. Sended the second one to Gigabyte and waiting if it’s fixed under his 3 years warranty.
I subscribed you as my future insurance policy, if need be.
Also I’ll try to donate chips (with lesser air in packages 😉) if and when able. Will refer you to others if ever I come across anybody.
All the best. God bless you.
