      You can tell he didn't get that way without tons of practice and repetition, too - what I always find pretty interesting about watching guys do stuff like this is that I can tell how seasoned they are just by watching their handiwork / fingerwork - right down to how they apply solvents or pastes or the like. You can usually tell when someone not only has a firm grasp of something in their head, but also in motion - committed to muscle memory I suppose you could say. It definitely shows.
      I guarantee, even if I hid uncertainty, just about anyone would be able to tell if I were to make such a video - even if the info in it were 100% correct, you'd be able to tell almost instantly if I stepped in front of the camera to do the exact same procedures... that I was a rank amateur. This guy's videos actually do sort of inspire me to take this up as a hobby, using one of my old cards from builds long past.

      I keep thinking the same thing every time I watch these videos of current gen GPUs getting taken apart. These cards aren't much bigger than what we used to have, say, 20 years ago. 2023's gigantic coolers vs tiny, passive heatsinks and/or itsy-bitsy fans aside: I guess the manufacturing process is so much more advanced these days (5 nm currently IIRC?), so they don't need to use a massive PCB. I wonder how large the card would need to be if that 4090 still used the 130 nm process that the Radeon 9800 used that he repaired a few videos ago. 130 / 5 = 26, so... 26 times as large? But that's probably not how that works... :D If it is: That would probably mean a graphics card at least the size of the old Defender arcade board I used to have hanging on the office-wall. And that thing was the size of a small- to medium-size poster. :D

  • @Can8ian.
    @Can8ian. ปีที่แล้ว +602

    That reminds me of the story of Grace Hopper who was a pioneer in computer programming. She is often credited for coining the term "bug" to describe a flaw in computer hardware or software. While working with a team at Harvard in 1947, Hopper and her team were confused about consistent errors on a computing machine they had designed. After looking at the hardware, they discovered a moth had gotten inside and disrupted some electronic circuits. After this incident, the term "bug" was used to describe unexpected errors. This repair was a similar "bug".

  • @Numfuddle
    @Numfuddle ปีที่แล้ว +327

    That’s a weird fault. The bug couldn’t possibly have crawled under the core after it was soldered so it must have gotten trapped under the core during the original reflow soldering step at factory.
    If this were the case though I’d have expected the card to fail the end of line function test at factory because it would have immediately shorted something or even prevented some of the solder balls from soldering correctly.
    That defect should have been detected before the card ever shipped to retail

    • @larkan511
      @larkan511 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      I can guarantee, it inspires anyone who has ever had a dead GPU from the factory that they couldn't return or replace, at least. I've had several over the years. I still have a GTX 1090 (or something) sitting in my closet never used because by the time I was able to test, I could no longer return it under warranty... I've often thought about sacrificing it to experience actually taking them apart and troubleshooting, checking for shorts, etc - to see if maybe I can find the problem myself, in my free time.
      This channel makes me think about that old card every time I stumble into it.

      Some parts of this sort of work is easier than it looks, some of it harder, the reballing and chip placement is physics doing a lot of the work for you. I think one of the neatest things is when a chip has a slight 'tick' as it centers on the solder pads perfectly on it's own though.

    Fun fact: The first bug in a computer was actually a moth that wandered into a computer and caused constant errors. Since the machine didn't stop and wasn't equipped with any of the fail safes we're used to today, technicians had to figure out the problem all by themselves. This was back in the 40s. Nothing was modular back then. When something broke, you had to take everything apart and rewire the entire machine. Computer technicians were more like car mechanics.

    So the bug was shorting the GPU which then shorted the other chip? I know you don't know but that's a crazy diagnosis and hero level repair. If your client bought this card DOA he probably made out like a bandit. I hope you charged him commensurately.

      It's conceivable they got it for a really steep discount, then took it to this repair shop and paid like $100-$200 to get a functioning 4090. They still could have saved a ton of money versus buying a new one.

    Fun fact: you recreated the actual origin of the word "bug", since the actual word came to life because a literal bug was inside one of the very first computers, causing it a malfunction.
    This "bug" was causing this 4090 to malfunction.

    • @gargolgaming8101
      @gargolgaming8101 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not true. The term bug was used before the bug found in that computer, as in the famous photograph it says "First actual case of a bug being found" It's a myth that that was the first use, as it was even stated that it was not.
