Probably not their first. The amount of heat you have to inject in that board for even a single joint to melt would have made a disaster if they weren't at least moderately skilled (or at least honest enough to recognize their level). It looks like they flooded the area with flux, tried to use low-melt, it didn't work so they just cut the connector's legs.
THe problem is we watch you do these jobs and some of us can convince ourselves it is something that can be easily repeated by a novice. It's because you are so good that we are so bad, lol. Thank you for all the hard work!
Thank you. This company rocks you mail, it, you fix it, you bill it and ship it back. The correspondence is good. Just wanna say thank you for having a decent business in the good old USA.
I appreciate your knowledge, and especially appreciated your wisdom on focusing on what makes you unique. I don't lack passion, I lack direction. It's one thing to inform people on what the repair process is, it's even greater when you share what truly matters, being unique, and making yourself valuable. Bucking conformity is difficult, sometimes very difficult, but in the end the reward will be greater.
Up to now, I always keep watching your video story of you when you were starting out - that iphone 4, 4s? Screen that you cracked several times, I love that story.
Thank you for all ur great videos. You have got myself back into doing this work and also teaching my sons how to do this trade aswell. You are the best out here.
Alex, you ARE amazing. I learn more technique and tricks watching you. Yeah, that plunger on the sucker will knock out an LED or even crack a lens. Amazing products, too. You sold me on a sucker and I need some more wick and solder. Maybe something else, too.
Every human being is Unique and has futurs like no others , we are all special in our own ways , thats why you should always aim at being original NOT A COPY ... Do your own thing .... . .. .. . . i really like it , thank you
Yay!!! 🎉 Another NorthridgeFix video!! I know they take you time to record/edit/upload, Alex, but could we PLEASE get videos a bit more frequently? Maybe something like 2 per week, at LEAST, would be nice 👌 Thanks for ALL you do, bud 😃✌️❤️
On thick circuit boards , I lay the area of the board on a small heat plate to pre-heat the area of the board I work on, the heat plate gets up to 500 deg F, or 250 Deg C. it's helps when removing components.
Alex, love you videos. Used to have my own electric repair appliance shop. many times a customer would bring in a job they had started and got into trouble If the Hiroshima was too bad I would not work on it... too many problems ... Man ( customer) has to know his limitations
For as many 4090's you repair Alex. I think you deserve a kick back from the companies that make these boards and for the connector manufacturer. I'd like to know who bright idea it was to make gpu's with only one power connector. Your fired! 😅😅 God bless Alex and HELLO!! to Big Boss, your father, mother, sister, wife and kiddos❤🖐🖐
I low-key wanted to hear Alex joke about how shiny the solder balls were and how one can use them to put on makeup, use them as a security mirror, etc...😂
Possible suggestion for you. When we used to solder suck boards and were limited with space, we used a small piece of silicon tube on the sucker. It allows to mate to a flat surface but maintains a seal and its heat resistant
If I can repair something, I will. But if I don't have the skill or expertise to repair it, I'll leave it to the pros. It can definitely save money in the long run.
You are the number one board man,if you had of come and seen me 60 years ago l could of taught you a lot. I to old now so take care of this place for a old AU Digger😅😅
It's only the 4090's melting nothing else. This card should be powered with the power cord directly from the wall. And they want to launch 600 watt TITAN with 48GB and more cores. Good luck to them.
NorthridgeFix : I think Nvidia should 100 % recall all of the 4080-s preemptively and most definitely all of the 4090-s. This connector is mechanically and electrically too weak for the 641 Watts of quite regular peak power and continuous 530-580 Watts of power consumption that the 4090 draws.
I will bet you that Nvidia will change the connector on the 5000 series in some way and if they do that, people will then know this connector was wack.
I think it's your fault for the motivation that people get, they watch your videos like me now and get inspired and think they know and can do it themselves 😃 joke aside, great job!
I'm going to buy the tools and start fixing shit around, didn't have the balls to fix my wife's macbook but will do it for the the future repairs, hopefully i don't have to 🤞
Its kinda unsettling how many people continue to try to do jobs like this with little to zero experience on such a pricy device. I have seen a huge influx of people also wanting to do the rog ally and steam deck ram upgrade. I then ask them to see what equipment they are going to try it with and I kid you not the last guy shows me a soldering iron kit he got on amazon for 40$... im not even joking. The guy thinks you can do bga soldering with a soldering iron..... I have seen it all, so many people just hear soldering, and think because they can solder two wires together on a broken dryer cord they can do the same thing on a 2000$ device at a microscopic level. Please guys have a bit more diligence when it comes to researching the procedures and equipment needed! Equipment alone on some of these devices your going to be spending close or more than the device is worth to do it properly and anything less and your going to ruin said device entirely and end up costing you more than it would to just send it to the experts. I myself have a reflow station and a decent amount of equipment but id never in my wildest dreams attempt bga work or esp a power connector on a 2000$ gpu. I would rather spend the few hundred bucks for the peice of mind that its not only done right, but theres a warranty on the work itself being done.
Guys, sorry for being random here, but i found a GPU fan case that the screw bolted so tight and i cant unscrew, i used wd 40 and thought it’ll make it easier but its not, any suggestion?
How would you recommend people learn to solder more complicated or technically challenging components? I see all the time people sending you their failed repairs on these types of parts. Buy non-working boards and practice?
The cold table is worse than dirty lungs, d'you know?! It's not that I don't remember what waa 34-35 cm, but, Quick ain't Varenne and I don't care if a girl of 160 cm thinks she can move my car without servo-assisted steering. Namastè.
Respekt for the man who got da balls to try his first soldier job on a 4090 😅
Have to agree with that one. Even though he failed his first attempt, I hope he keeps going and improves his skills.
@@stretchable4647not bad actually, but that guy know when to stop
@@maklogetrich2378 I'm guessing he decided to stop when that connector pulled away from the board without any legs attached and a piece melted off
Yeah, and luckily he also understood when to stop when it didn't work out. I was a small wonder no components were missing from the board.

I think he said exactly that in one of his videos 😂
Funny, watching these jobs makes me feel the exact opposite.
We appreciate you, Alex! I do give props to the user who attempted the repair!
Thank you. This company rocks you mail, it, you fix it, you bill it and ship it back. The correspondence is good. Just wanna say thank you for having a decent business in the good old USA.

Had to fix Yamaha Silent Violin preamp with battery corrosion on it, and you make it look so easy to fix micro components!
You are an artist when it comes to soldering! Great Job!
Up to now, I always keep watching your video story of you when you were starting out - that iphone 4, 4s? Screen that you cracked several times, I love that story.
were glad we have you in this gereration sir keep going..........
Your a Saint for dealing with all these idiots...
You are definitely amazing Northridge. One of my favorite channels,
Thank you for all ur great videos. You have got myself back into doing this work and also teaching my sons how to do this trade aswell. You are the best out here.
You continue to amaze the world mate
God bless that man who tries it and God bless you Alex who repairs it thanks for sharing your knowledge dear ❤❤❤❤
THIS IS ART. A BEAUTIFUL JOB
Alex, you ARE amazing. I learn more technique and tricks watching you.
Yeah, that plunger on the sucker will knock out an LED or even crack a lens.
Amazing products, too. You sold me on a sucker and I need some more wick and solder. Maybe something else, too.
It seems so easy... Well done Alex !
Some can and many cannot, thats life. Great vid once again👍
Every human being is Unique and has futurs like no others , we are all special in our own ways , thats why you should always aim at being original NOT A COPY ... Do your own thing .... . .. .. . . i really like it , thank you
I really hope you find a company to help with Northridge Fix hot tweezers. It would be a game changer.
i wanted to know how many 4080,4090 you have done,love this channel !
Nice, watching from Down Under! 👍
Yay!!! 🎉 Another NorthridgeFix video!!
I know they take you time to record/edit/upload, Alex, but could we PLEASE get videos a bit more frequently?
Maybe something like 2 per week, at LEAST, would be nice 👌
Thanks for ALL you do, bud 😃✌️❤️
Another great job, well done!
Looking at your soldering experience...it is really awesome...many failed...
amzing job , better that factory 👍👍
Hey sent an E-mail for a quote (3070 FE).. love watching these vids ....very relaxing
Alex , you are absolutely, categorically, truly amazing 👏.. 🙌

You did an amazing job !
and you're right; we're all amazing in our ways. I'm an amazing viewer. 🥳
“Or maybe is just me” said one of the best in the world 🤣
Alex brooooo, hope ur house is treating you good man!!! I am the No1 fan of ur skillful vidoes
Why not using glue on the connector, would it not break again?
connector is faulty itself
Thank you Alex👍🙏🏻
God bless you and your family, how is your new house coming along?
For as many 4090's you repair Alex. I think you deserve a kick back from the companies that make these boards and for the connector manufacturer. I'd like to know who bright idea it was to make gpu's with only one power connector. Your fired!
😅😅
God bless Alex and HELLO!! to Big Boss, your father, mother, sister, wife and kiddos❤🖐🖐
I still have my "NF Solder Sucker" from the 1970's.
Serious suction. LOL Great work Alex.:)
Masterful!
Was that a Wal-Mart ONN monitor? Nice.
*Great work!*
I low-key wanted to hear Alex joke about how shiny the solder balls were and how one can use them to put on makeup, use them as a security mirror, etc...😂
6:59 *Looks like pin number 3 wanna play games." 🤣
"And we almost all ways ship out next day" Needs to be a T shirt id wear it!😁
What is that green liquid for that you used in the end? It looks like it was for repairing the scratches on the board.
Possible suggestion for you. When we used to solder suck boards and were limited with space, we used a small piece of silicon tube on the sucker. It allows to mate to a flat surface but maintains a seal and its heat resistant
You ARE amazing 😁
Does the NF.Sucker beat an ENGINEER SS-02?
Better to use the NF Sucker instead of copper to absorb, save costs.
Better than factory, amazing work as usual.
Great work
If I can repair something, I will. But if I don't have the skill or expertise to repair it, I'll leave it to the pros. It can definitely save money in the long run.
YOU ARE THE BEST !!!!!!~~~~~~
I find you videos educational thank you
Alex, the only exception is Air Jordans. It will definitely make you play better basketball 😆
Fantastic!
You are absolutly amazing🎉
I used to solder and make cables during school and IT work... But, I never imagined repairing expensive GPUs 😢
have you ever try to repair a pc psu? i don't know if you have a video on that subjet?
"Tell me that I am not amazing..." now that got me laughing 😂
You are the number one board man,if you had of come and seen me 60 years ago l could of taught you a lot. I to old now so take care of this place for a old AU Digger😅😅
What are the temperatures that you are working?
You are amazing sir.
I keep coming for amd 7900xt,xtx repairs but looks like there isn't many needing fixing hmmmm
It's only the 4090's melting nothing else. This card should be powered with the power cord directly from the wall. And they want to launch 600 watt TITAN with 48GB and more cores. Good luck to them.
You Alex are not amazing but you are created with limits.
Came in for repair.
Its like a doctor so careful 😮😮
8:30 Could you have just sucked the pin with the solder?
How ?
We all have to start somewhere.
Amazing you are amazing!
Amazing 😮
shoil make a coilwine repair on a gpu and se if u can get it to go away
Rather than destroy a good board, clip all of the leads off of the bad connector and remove them one at a time.
Bhai, ringer se vaise mane aaj tak ear par laga kr sunte hue nahi dekha ki kaan khrab ho
BETTER THAN FACTORY!

exacly if you dont have the tools or expertise dont attempt it
Guys, sorry for being random here, but i found a GPU fan case that the screw bolted so tight and i cant unscrew, i used wd 40 and thought it’ll make it easier but its not, any suggestion?
Somebody has to come up with a double decker socket for this card.
I just wonder why he did that….. I have asus Rog rtx4080 and they give you 3 year warrantee on the card
If you could ask customer it would solve my curiosity!!! Thank you sir
Maybe he watercooled it and broke the warranty seal?
Wooo good answer,, I thin your correct sir 😮
I have same design gpu in 4080!!! It is dope card!! Runs gta v in max setting at 62c and pretty quiet
He is right, better than factory.
Best "stick"? :D
Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
Amount of 4090 sent to repair is staggering.
This connector is making alex sounds angrier each time he replaces a one. 😢
How would you recommend people learn to solder more complicated or technically challenging components? I see all the time people sending you their failed repairs on these types of parts. Buy non-working boards and practice?
A very expensive GPU but with a very weak power connector.
Nvidia didn't care because they knew their loyal fans will purchase their product.
More like people don't have options, I know AMD is there and then Intel but for certain works Nvidia GPUs are the best.
Look at this Hiroshima, don't hold anything back, lol!
my god what the heck did that guy think he was doing! to his ~$2,000 graphics card OMG!!! D:
4090 with melted connector... very strange 😂
9:45 oof this is a clear jab at NW lmao
The cold table is worse than dirty lungs, d'you know?! It's not that I don't remember what waa 34-35 cm, but, Quick ain't Varenne and I don't care if a girl of 160 cm thinks she can move my car without servo-assisted steering. Namastè.
Do you any counter how many RTX 4080 and 4090 you have fixed so far? Amazing job as allways.
