Now I take this channel like a wiki for me! I just search the channel for macbook pro.. and I see some list with lot's of issue resolved. That's a goldmine of information :) , Jazakallah to Alex! the creator of all this video..!
You found and replaced a shorted capacitor. The short is now gone. The 12V does not come on whether the involved components are in or out. Then you have to move to another place on the pcb looking for the problem. Disrupted pcb track or protection series resistor. In this case you have donor cards you can use for comparison - makes your odds high. Tx very much for your efforts in making these videos, highly appreciated 😊
I also do repairing and 50% of it I have learned from this TH-cam channel Thankyou Alex for consistently posting various types of repairs. Love from Goa, India.
Loving the open discussion on this chat and how the conversation comes across... Suggestions without condescension. A credit to Alex for being approachable and open, and to the supporters / techies for remembering that we are always learning!
Sorry to see a no fix after you have stayed late. Wanted to see your yes, I fixed it smile which would have made it more worthwhile for you to have stayed late. Better luck next time.
A fresh mind in the morning might help. Not every fix is going to be easy, unfortunately, however, the way you go about diagnosing problems helps us come to an understanding of how things work, thank you for that.
The time you post your videos mean it’s one of the first I see in the morning here in the U.K., making it a great start to the day. Another very educational video, thank you.
Video cards seem to be the hardest to fix, more time might be a good investment, to figure out they're failure commonalities. Great work, thanks for sharing your vast experience and knowledge.
You know so much about videocards right now. Its amazing how human learn so fast when they do something that they are interested in. Thank you for the video, hope you will find the error soon
As nice as the founders edition cards look, I tend to go with a different card due to the FE cards having a lot of issues, especially with heat and noise. Hope you get it fixed. waiting on part 2.
I have faith you will figure it out after a good nights sleep. Loving your videos I cant tell you how much your videos have educated me over the years. Thanks Alex
If you have 12v on the card input I would assume that the 12v are not being shorted. If 12v arent reaching the chip then I'd look for an open coil, fuse or resistor along the path of the input and the the 5v chip.
A moment of silence for the fallen GPU ... anxiously waiting for part 2 Disclaimer: I am no EE and don't even have the slightest idea of what you're doing. I just found that your repair videos therapeutic. That and you're a great guy
Another graphics card how wonder how much of a dent Alex has put in to the pile of them .Another great video keep it up .I always learn something and enjoy it everything.
Alex on the back side, Look for a IC 505 it is 40 leg ic. nier that ic u should find two 0 ohm rezistors/fuses Check if they are ok. 12v_F and (12v_pex_misc have two caps on the way 0.1uF and 22uF) should have direct path to Pin nr 2 If u have no 12v then fuses blown. Fuses marked r1007 and r987 12v_F is goes pass R987 0 ohm rezistor/fuse. I have documents that i cant share. Due to ............. some ones knocking on my door, i think nvidia guys with black glasses.. GTG :D
The problem is that 12V in is missing, nothing to do with the chip. Probably a (low ohm) resistor on the board, find the point (beep) on the board where 12V is feeding the 5V regulator.
Hello @NorthridgeFix Alex, from what i've seen i think you have a partially shorted component since its measuring 0.200V , since you have on the chip 3.3V Enable shouldn't be a digital problem, and having 5V vcc, you could supply with your power supply on that big CAP that you changed the 12V that you need on that output and the bad component should get HOT, also max current 1A on power supply to be safe. Good luck and i hope you'll be able to fix it , can't wait for the next video.
your knowledge of all these video cards is immense. looking forward to part 2 of this video. If there are no shorts then it must be an open circuit on a resistor somewhere maybe?
Alex. i thank you so much for all the nice videos its a good learning from a men where i have RESPECT for. also all the viewers thanks. Every day i looking and learn a lot. thank you from the Belgium Coast. R E S P E C T. for you and the family there..... grtz Alain and sorry for my bad english
Sometimes all we need is to move away from the issue and come back later 😁 I was going to suggest track the path to the 12V input but the answer has already been found...maybe next time...
Love watching you work ive started to fix xbox one and ps4 from watching you. So thankyou for all what you do and hope you keep on doing it for a long time to come.
The method you use to find short in diode mode. I watched some videos you using that method. I tried it on a detection circuit board on a machine I've been troubleshooting, the 12V goes to zero. Using the diode mode I found a shorted cap. I removed it the short is gone. Thanks Alex for the tip and your knowledge.
FE cards were so cool and nice looking, always wanted one....nowadays I would never buy one, hard to find and less durable than other cards in my opinion. Hope it can be fixed!!
The amount of knowledge you have on so many different boards is astonishing. Great job!
Now I take this channel like a wiki for me! I just search the channel for macbook pro.. and I see some list with lot's of issue resolved. That's a goldmine of information :) , Jazakallah to Alex! the creator of all this video..!
Whether it's a fix or no fix, you never stopped uploading the video. I appreciate that courage
Going down the rabbit hole is what I find the most difficult. Very good work master Alex. Thank you for the video. Love from Portugal.
You found and replaced a shorted capacitor.
The short is now gone.
The 12V does not come on whether the involved components are in or out.

Disrupted pcb track or protection series resistor.
In this case you have donor cards you can use for comparison - makes your odds high.
Tx very much for your efforts in making these videos, highly appreciated 😊
When I am working on boards late, it is a guarantee no fix. As soon as I take a break and return the next day, I pretty much always find the reason.
I also do repairing and 50% of it I have learned from this TH-cam channel Thankyou Alex for consistently posting various types of repairs. Love from Goa, India.
Oh I’m currently working on the first GPU I try to repair and it’s a 1070 😊 thanks for the knowledge !
Hope you'll fix it

14:59 "I doubt that that chip is bad because I know for a fact that this chip is good". I mean, you can't argue with that.
trust the man
Haha Experience 😜
lol
A fresh mind in the morning might help. Not every fix is going to be easy, unfortunately, however, the way you go about diagnosing problems helps us come to an understanding of how things work, thank you for that.
This channel is very education and people are also contributing their insights. Learning more. Thanks to all.
The amount of patience and endurance to do this job is mindblowing to me. Keep it up
Put back those components. Plug it back in and view it with the thermal cam. You may see the short.
The time you post your videos mean it’s one of the first I see in the morning here in the U.K., making it a great start to the day. Another very educational video, thank you.
its the afternoon for me and watching this is a good way to end my daily task/chores because i usually finish around the afternoon haha.
You should open another channel and teach people what you know, you’re incredible.
Video cards seem to be the hardest to fix, more time might be a good investment, to figure out they're failure commonalities. Great work, thanks for sharing your vast experience and knowledge.
Even I'm not in this business I love to watch your videos for extra knowledge . Thank you sir
Pro tip: take a 9V battery and 2x 1.5V batteries, put them in series and strap them to a train track. TADA 12V rail🤓
I am getting experience on graphic cards through your knowledge thanks alot. I now call you an "ELECTRONICS DOCTOR"
Another great video ! Love your honesty when your learning a new card, we're all learning at the same time!
You know so much about videocards right now. Its amazing how human learn so fast when they do something that they are interested in.
Thank you for the video, hope you will find the error soon
Sometimes it's hard to know if anything on a complicated electronic device works at all. Great effort.
That's why we need board diagram and circuit diagram,
Great work to trying to fix device.
Congratulation Alex, you are doing the job very delicately, very precisely, like an expert and always "Better than factory"... 😊
The ease at which you get these video cards fixed is quite astonishing
You are genius,..you have knowledge of every device. either its iphone ipad laptop or gaming card.
I hope it gets fixed. We wanted to see those smiles after a repair is done. 💗
As nice as the founders edition cards look, I tend to go with a different card due to the FE cards having a lot of issues, especially with heat and noise. Hope you get it fixed. waiting on part 2.
The 30 series FE cards come with good coolers.
I love when you post GPU repair videos, they're my favorite!
In Each Graphics Card Video, There's Different Problem, And That's How We Learn How To Solve Different Problems.
Best Informative Video.
It still amazes me to watch you work with these microscopic components.
Meter in Diet mode(it works 24/7)! Alex you are great keep up the good work.
Salute from Greece
I have faith you will figure it out after a good nights sleep. Loving your videos I cant tell you how much your videos have educated me over the years. Thanks Alex
this better than rma and it takes less months to be repaired. huge respect to this business
GPUs look so fun to fix, even if it doesn't always turn out well
I wonder if a PCI-E riser cable would allow you to do more in circuit voltage readings easier. Just a suggestion.
Interesting, Alex will have the board schematic running in his mind when sleeping. I hope you will find the solution.
If you have 12v on the card input I would assume that the 12v are not being shorted. If 12v arent reaching the chip then I'd look for an open coil, fuse or resistor along the path of the input and the the 5v chip.
The 10 series was an absolute beast :D
Alex, to ease the testing job, you can probably buy a pcie riser.
The experience talking right here , god bless u and ur fam , pass the salam to big boss from Algeria ❤️
Northridge fix you are the best 👍always keep surprising US. I'm from India🇮🇳 North East. Manipur
A moment of silence for the fallen GPU ... anxiously waiting for part 2

Another great video. It's good to see that not everything can be fixed right away and easily.
Northridge fix!!!! Better than factory
Another great trouble-shooting video. Eagerly awaiting the follow up to this vid. Thank you Alex.
Congratulations 🍾🎊🎈🎉 to me my very first M92 chip replacement was successful hurrrrrrrrrrry thanks 🙏 for the videos I really appreciate my master
I don't know much about electronics repair but this is interesting to watch regardless.

Much Love and respect from South Africa
Great video hope you and family enjoy your weekend 😀
Love watching u on difficult repairs and it’s fixed
No issues for this next time
Anxious to see part two of this card, and am certain that Alex will find the solution too.
Waited for the smile after the fix but......
Eagerly waiting to see that in part2

All your videos are amazing and the way you work is amazing. I follow all your videos and learn every day.
These troubleshooting videos are great, even with no-fix.
your knowledge of all these video cards is immense. looking forward to part 2 of this video. If there are no shorts then it must be an open circuit on a resistor somewhere maybe?
Every day I always wait for your videos to learn more, Greetings from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴.
Tons of Knowledge In all of your Videos.
Need a part 2 of this video. Great job
the power of persistence... good work
I hope to see you fix this video card, every card has its own issue and this teach us a lot
Alex. i thank you so much for all the nice videos its a good learning from a men where i have RESPECT for. also all the viewers thanks. Every day i looking and learn a lot. thank you from the Belgium Coast. R E S P E C T. for you and the family there..... grtz Alain and sorry for my bad english

You're just feeding all voltages into our Brain's insuch a way that no one forgets in a lifetime about the Board
Love watching you work ive started to fix xbox one and ps4 from watching you. So thankyou for all what you do and hope you keep on doing it for a long time to come.
What is this PEX/VEX that you mention? And where is it measured? Thanks for these videos. Learning so much from every single one of them.
Hi Alex....These troubleshooting videos are great, even with no-fix..
Hope there will be a part 2 on this. Knowledgeable video. Great job!
Love your work. would be cool if we could spend one whole day to see what jobs you fix in 1 day.
I love the way you explain what you do
this type of repairs that i like a mind blowing one ! even it ends up a no fix
You always can!! Waiting for part two!!
i like your gpu repairs favorite part of this channel as a gamer
The method you use to find short in diode mode. I watched some videos you using that method. I tried it on a detection circuit board on a machine I've been troubleshooting, the 12V goes to zero.

Keep going and fix it! That will be fantastic
a new learning hints for future repair. great...
Keep up the great work , the knowledge give to us is always helpful
These troubleshooting videos are Great work, even it's not fix.
this channel is a treasure of info 👏👌👍✔
Ur experience is amazing
Thank you for your time and effort uploading excellent videos for our education, it has improved my skills tremendous...
7:40 Damn! I was so hyped about this gpu could be repaired by simple cap change
Opposite here.. I was disappointed as it was too easy and I felt like I didn't get enough I was glad to learn more .. *selfish guy alert*.
waiting for part 2, hope you fix it sir thanks for sharing your knowledge again.
Hate rabbit holes but it gains more knowledge
Great video as usual, hopefully you will get it fixed
incredible experiences come form hard repairs like this i hope you can fix it
Wealth of repair knowledge,jxt waiting for the next 1.thanks
The resistor theory sounds good.
You really need help but finding someone is hard.
Good job.
Hi, If 12v is not present at the cap you replace, you have big chance to find a blown fuse or resistor, Julien.
No Result yet but thanks a million for showing us the step by step process ....
Thanks for your honesty 😍
The problem is the input of the step down converter it must be 12v.
What can I say thank you for every video you upload 😯
Thank you for all you share with us! Great video!
