It is actually so cool that you can do your work and record it all for YT. Unlimited content PLUS you always have evidence for customers as to what work you did. This couples beautifully with TH-cam.
"Board was working for 2 days, and suddenly many components jumt of the boeard. The didn't want to be an Nvidia part and they finaly was able to run away." I'm so glad that I don't have to deal with this lies. I know that I wouldn't be able to shut up, and scream to the cust that he is stupid to think that we wouldn't see that he was breaking his own card.

i was hoping alex manage to repair and replace those missing one and send the bills to that customer. what i wouldn't want to see is customer denied about those missing component and say there's none missing before he mailed it.. that's gonna be something. i cant help but thinking aside from customer maybe lying, what happened to the card tho.. bad solder from manufacture? but too many component missing. a surge after that liquid metal upgrade that pop those component out overnight?
I surprised Alex didn't send it back as a no fix I would have lol 😁makes you laugh when customer states card just suddenly stopped working, err yeah OK its clearly been messed with or had poor prior repair attempt, as half of it is missing 😆🤔,
I recently bought 1 10cc flux syringe and 2 wires (Enameled and non-Enameled) from you, all i can say is, they are perfect ! The flux works flawlessly !👌🏼
u know that type of customer is the worst, usually, they lie, make troubles and try to find exploits, even if they got their GPU's fixed for the first time, also for the second time, if our dude was tired and refuse to do the same job for the 3d time, they will not hesitate for a second to leave a bad review with 2 pages of complaints about his business been trush
Probably damaged in shipment when the customer received it from a questionable seller. 🤷♂️ Those components are knocked off clean by pure force, no solder/flux/liquid metal signs whatsoever.
I've been watching this channel a few months now and I'm encouraged to take up my sapphire radeon R9 270x card and attemp a fix. I'm a electronic technician for years you I know my way around electronic. My microscope was stolen but have my table magnifying glass so i will give it a try. Thank you my friend.
This board with its missing parts reminds me of a job I had many years ago. A customer brought in a top-of-the-line dual deck cassette recorder by Harmon Kardon. He decided to take it apart for some reason, so he turned all the little "screws" he found when he took it out of its case. All those "screws" were potentiometers used to set levels, and there must've been 50 of them! Since he'd voided the warranty by doing that, he brought it to me- and it took me a couple of days to get all the levels re-set, but I enjoyed doing it. One of the only times I got to repair something where nothing was wrong with it but a dam fool owner!
If there was no previous repair done on this card, I can not imagine how such damage is even possible. How can you rip off so many components while replacling the cooler. Really weird. Great video as always.
Great work as always ,calm and proffessional, you don't care if customer lies or not, if he wants his card fixed this is how much he should pay, if he doesn't he should pay for the diagnostics and time spent on it, then get his card back. period.
One guess though unlikely is that the customer installed a aio cooler/water block that wasn't compatible with the Founders edition 1080, and when he screwed down the water block some of the components got crushed/ripped of the board. Though one would assumed that the customer checked that the AIO was compatible before purchase.
Ah yes! I was thinking the customer had simply lied, but what you suggest is possible. It is also possible that he had a correct water block, but was ham-fisted when installing/removing it, crushing all those components. Maybe he failed to follow the installation instructions.
Thank you so much for your work. I like watching your videos. I'd like to open my own repair shop but currently, I'm PhD student working on a magnetic bearing. Hopefully, I will be able to make a similar video with a comparable impact. Thank you
I was surprised when there was no heat spots at all on the thermal camera. But no wonder why there’s no heat spots, because there’s no components left to get hot LOL.
This could be a fault card laying with customer from months. The customer must have done experiment and fingering on it. I also get some people like this who give me their electronic devices to repair after keeping it in scrap for months. But now I am leaving my part time electronic repair work, as I have problem in my both eyes and can't afford microscope. But I am happy to watch your repair videos. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
So I have been watching a lot of ur videos today just found ur channel recently and you sir have become my new idol and I hope to one day meet you and shake your hand. Also can’t wait for part 2.
I'm a new fan of your channel.. When I was fixing cell phones, I had drawers of cannibalized parts. Having those "donor" parts saved countless people. Keep up the good work. And yes. Customers fib all the time. Me: "Has this been in water recently?" Them: "Nope" Me: "What do you do for a living?" Them: "Deckhand for a charter fishing boat." Me: SMH
I was watching so carefully as you did the visual inspection, and I saw a few places that looked a bit weird. Then you got to the back, and I just leaned back and started laughing haha. Good luck on replanting that forest
Repair guy : what's wrong with your GPU Cust : I don't know it didn't working and I did liquid metal few days ago and used two days then this happened! Repair guy: okay! We will check His mind - what I'm going see :!!
Totally worth the fix attempt if you can find a donor board and the client agrees with your price quote. Hope to see part 2. 👍 I hate a dishonest description, only thing it accomplishes is wasting more of your time. A repair technician is neither stupid, nor blind. 🤦♂️
I think the customer bought a card that was already not working. When they realised it had liquid metal they've blamed it on that; but they didn't know the card was a donor board and tried getting Northridgefix to potentially fix it
i saw the missing components before Alex said it and im thinking this customer story about the board with liquid metal is too fishy. with that many missing components it's not possible for it to work properly for a few days. Maybe this guy just wanted to send Alex a board with a bogus story and see if Alex can figures out with the problem is. Can't wait to see part two. Have a good weekend Alex. TY for all the vids.
he should not lie about working and should tell the truth about not working tho. hope he learn the lesson for not ruining card and keep it up the good work alex.
This is the problem every repair shop suffers from, customers lying. With all those components missing there is no way that card worked. I do not understand why they need to lie. Just be honest about what has been done and it makes the repair go a lot quicker and smoother.
Things I've learn so far, liquid metal can remove half the components, it's like put a plaster on it every time you got injuries 🤣 anyway that's a terrible joke and thanks for the great content
Love your videos! Renewed my love of electronic and computers overall. Just a college student who does iPhone screen replacement and looking to expand! But I am always scared of messing with the motherboard, not after watching your channel! Just ordered a solder gun and a motherboard holder. Can anyone suggest what else I might need to get started?
I suspect some of these cards are from people buying the cards used on ebay and the description NRF is getting is from the original owner, who lied when selling them. People are getting desperate for a reasonably priced gfxcard and when they see "I made a doodoo on the card, but it's probably fixable. I cannot do it, so I'm selling it cheap." they think that they can buy it, send it to a repair shop and still get a low cost gfxcard.
What are all the locations where more mosfet's would go? Watching you measure them between the 4:00-5:00mins mark, there are lots of the mosfet pads with no mosfets. Are they deemed too redundant and not necessary? If you put mosfets there, would the board work? Thank you, great content as usual.
You wont believe the things i see in my shop , once i received a laptop motherboad with the GPU glued (yes with super glue). I just noted when the rework station entered the final stage of reflow cycle , the GPU catch fire and the fire alarm went on. Phoned the client and he just told me "it was working fine until yesterday" ... BTW the BIOS IC was missing also ... Never forget the gremlins that try to repair hardware during the night ;)
I'm going to go on a limb here, and that it wasn't the customer but someone scammed him out out his money. Customer bought it with the purpose of being watercooled. Board worked in a extremely taxed state due to being used as a sacrificial board. Until it didn't. Wouldn't consider it normally, but with the shortage, I can see how some people would abuse the desperation of others.
maybe components detached with backplate and thermal pad ( where there are ripped pads there is force implied ) maybe because of resell value maybe he wants to fix an already donor board I'm gonna stick with '' card got bad for whatever reason at first and then the back components were detached after miss manipulation'' no way of knowing

Wow, must be a case of bad soldering. Didn't owner say it was liquid cooled? Perhaps he damaged it when placing the backplate onto it. Also the temperatures sounded strange..
Seems to be another classic case of "I don't know what happened it was working fine. I didn't touch anything".

no, the customer didn't lie, the GPU was losing components from stress like a guy losing his hair, probably bcz of Elon musk tweet about bitcoin

I think the same
That is the only plausible theory I've heard here so far. Even if the customer is dishonest, the customer must have been thinking *something*.
A viable conclusion indeed... for a fact this just didn't happen out of nowhere.
I wont even bother with it. if it was used for parts most likely the gpu is dead.

10:23 10:24 10:25 Lots of discoloration around the components and vias.
Seeing the back it looks like he tried it in the oven.

Thanks for this video, I have some graphic cards in for repair so this video means a lot to me! ❤️
Those components are on holiday in the 9th dimension, it's nice this time of year.
looks like the components were crushed by the backplate that was required to mount the AIO..
Usually, if you were to take an "AIO" to a GPU, that would imply the zip-tie method of just strapping a CPU AIO to the GPU.
That's a lot of work. Will wait for part 2.
I knew that liquid metal can disappear aluminum but this customer found a way to disappear tantalum with liquid metal. This should be published.
Liquid metal is a mess if used without knowledge! But this time its an earthquake that blow this graphics card, i wish you a good job!!!
