The amount of high end graphics cards being ruined these days by people is heartbreaking. Thank goodness Alex and Big Boss are here to save the day, always, better than factory!
Everyone thinks they are capable of renewing thermal paste at home and these are things that happen most likely, they rip-off micro transistors or worse ruin some trace with screwdrivers.
That’s because unauthorized and untrained people with big hands and fat fingers think they know how to build gaming computers. Anyone with basic electronics knowledge will know that you should only hold a circuit board by the edge otherwise sensitive and delicate components can be damaged.
The high end stuff breaks also by themselves even with perfect installation procedures. You get maximum performance, not maximum reliability or anything similar...
Great fix Northridge! The amount of respect I have for someone who shares the how-to of such intricate stuff is amazing. I've never been to the west coast before but one of these days I'll make it over there and check out the shop 👍
The visual inspection is one of the most important thing when we repair electrónics. I have fixed alot of stuff with only a good visual inspection. Great videos Alex. How's the leg?
Excellent visual inspection and quick fix. Well done Alex..! Hope one day manufacture will realize their poor design done on their high end video cards.. costing their customers lots of time and money.
Great video. Have an Asrock 6750XT that won't power up. In one board, ASUS board with 700 watt PS, card is dead, but MB fires up. Other board, MSI with 650 watt PS, card is dead, MB dead also. Boards work fine with another card. Never have worked on a Video card, but watching your Repair vid gave the guts to at least take this one apart and try. Thanks!!
Hey Alex! Hope you are feeling better from your injury! Are you still planning on making a training program soon? With more help around,I’m sure you could have healed sooner
Hi, can I know the name so I can search for them, those small components that are found in pairs above the PCI Express connection? rx6900xt. they are seen at minute 8:13
Thanks for giving knowledge. That is very expensive but you give for free I’m your follower from long time ago. I can only see thanks for everything.!!!
Had the reference model from Asus (very similar), never modified it yet it had terrible temps and crashed in many games over the years. When one of the DisplayPorts and the HDMI stopped working I sent it in for RMA. Wish I had the skills to fix it myself but they sent me back an Asus TUF model, the temps and reliability are leagues better.
14:20 Isnt it risky to not wear uav glasses, because the uav light could reflect from any surface (f.e. from the board)? I have no idea, thats why im asking. But from my understanding: if you can see it, it reaches your eyes.
@@TheGuruStud Just because you are not looking at it and its low power does not mean it does not hurt you. You just get hurt slowly and you "dont see it comming".
HELLO !! MAY I ASK YOU SOMETHING ? WHERE CAN I FIND SPARE PARTS FOR RX 6700 XT ( SPECIFICALLY I NEED 1 x MPMT 8633 A522 E chip , 1 x R562042 12v power coil , 1 x D 2mm , 1 x D 4mm and 5 x SKA37 270 16V CAPACITORS )
Awesome job! You make these repairs seem so simple and effortless. You have a good demeanor too. Anyone know what he had the gpu plugged in to? Was it a pcie riser?
I have a xfx merch 6800xt that went black screen then every time I turn the computer on it wont post. just VGA light stays on. how can i send you to have it repaired
i see an rx 6900xt in my country for very cheap it says it has as shorting problem but the guys description says he used only a single 8 pin connector on the card. how much money should i offer to gamble on buying it.
How do people destroy so many cards? I have never had a single card fail. I still have an old amd 2 gig card I use for troubleshooting, I've had it for a decade now? Something like that. Works great. What are people doing to burn up components?
that would require more time to set up and pull down.. in a busy shop they have to be very efficient with time. the card would power down anyway if it gets too hot.
He said only for a few seconds. During bootup the clocks are at a minimum, core is undervolted, and only pulling 10-15 watts. 3080, 3090, 4090 etc need a small heatsink at least, don't need a fan for short term testing.
Overcurrent renders the resistor open, i.e. very high resistance and protect whatever components that comes ahead of it. Changing the resistor will be cheaper than changing one of the more expensive components. The 0 Ohm resistor acts here just like a fuse.
Hello, First of all, my English is really terrible and I am using translation. I apologize for my spelling mistakes. When I Try to Turn On My Xbox One, It Suddenly Shuts Down, The Startup Sound Is Interrupted, The Screen Doesn't Come On And The Fan Doesn't Turn. I Checked the Mosfets on the Power Line, There Is No Problem. I Changed the Power Supply, My Question Still Continues. Since I do not know the values of the coils and resistors, I could not check them. The opening sound may sometimes be interrupted after pressing the button. I saw you repairing it in your previous videos, I am writing to you from Turkey. Can You Help Me With This Problem? It Depends on Which Areas I Should Control and How.

I feel my soul being sucked from my body. That dam light does not in any way shine U.V. light waves through a TV. Where did anyone come up with a thought like that!?!?'I'm glad that us techs do not think like that.:)
I always got my UV glasses with me while watching your videos.
I would recommend that you also use sunscreen with at least SPF 50 to be on the safe side.
LOL
Don't forget the tin foil hat for that pesky RF!
why lol

Thats why unexperienced people see on youtube how tu build a pc, and try it by itself and fail.

@Stellar-Nucleosynthesis Especially on 4090 😅
It is not getting old. Always brings a smile to my face.. lol
13:31 can you expose the U.V light to the camera about 30 secondes because i want to harden my solder mask !!!
Just pause the video man. Endless UV light
@@qwertyboguss Ok U.V light for eternety
I just did my first job for a small company and I did a good job. I'm happy!
Very good that you have additionally fixed the component with solder mask.
the right tools /the quality of the picture to see such a small part is incredible
The micro probes you sell are fantastic for applying super thin layers of solder mask. It's easier that using tweezers.
Good deliberations, Alex continue educating the community.
Great fix Northridge! The amount of respect I have for someone who shares the how-to of such intricate stuff is amazing.

The microscope saved the day!
Thanks for the video Alex.
not going to lie, I enjoy watching these videos with ambient techno in another tab :)
He is so good, to the point, no BS. Kind of guy you want if Apollo has a problem.
You have no clue how much things I repair thanks to your awesome videos. TNX bro and keep with good work.
Excellent visual inspection and quick fix. Well done Alex..! Hope one day manufacture will realize their poor design done on their high end video cards.. costing their customers lots of time and money.
Amazing and efficient fix as always :)
Very satisfying videos; moreso the simplified process you display. ❤
You got it I'm happy for you Big Boss is happy again with thumbs up !
ALEX JUST WAIT BEFORE USING THE UV LIGHT. LET ME GRAB A BOTTLE OF SUNSCREEN LOTION AND A GOGGLE FIRST. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Great detective work Alex 😁👌 I look forward to the next one
We really need professionals like you in our country.. Amazing job
Hi, can I know the name so I can search for them, those small components that are found in pairs above the PCI Express connection?
rx6900xt. they are seen at minute 8:13
It's crazy how I find ur vids very interesting...I guess cuz I like troubleshooting things myself...but keep up the great work
Thanks for giving knowledge. That is very expensive but you give for free I’m your follower from long time ago. I can only see thanks for everything.!!!
Alex you‘ve got eagle eyes vision installed 👍
Yes, I would have missed that loose component even with his microscope!
Your UV light made my teeth white again 👍👍😀😀😀
thank u for sharing how you do your work. its really amazing like your a doctor and doing a Succesful surgery regards to you more
Once again another fantastic video. Nice fix!!

i liie how in your videos you narrate as if your mentoring very teacher like and shows your making these videos for others can learn your craft
such a great picture with your microscope.
I love your videos even if i don't understand how you do, you explain a lot and that's awesome ❤
another great Sherlock video the detective finding the naughty componant,,,,,,, and fix,,,,,,,
The UV light comment never gets old. It is hysterical.
İyi işler, Alex bizim dünyayı eğitmeye devam ediyor.
Cok kaliteli
What's the thing he plugs the the PCIe pins into?
14:20 Isnt it risky to not wear uav glasses, because the uav light could reflect from any surface (f.e. from the board)?
I have no idea, thats why im asking.
But from my understanding: if you can see it, it reaches your eyes.
It is, I know someone who got burns in the cornea due to using the wrong glasses. It is no joke.
no, he's not looking at it and it's low power
@@TheGuruStud Just because you are not looking at it and its low power does not mean it does not hurt you.
You just get hurt slowly and you "dont see it comming".
HELLO !! MAY I ASK YOU SOMETHING ? WHERE CAN I FIND SPARE PARTS FOR RX 6700 XT ( SPECIFICALLY I NEED 1 x MPMT 8633 A522 E chip , 1 x R562042 12v power coil , 1 x D 2mm , 1 x D 4mm and 5 x SKA37 270 16V CAPACITORS )
Amazing absolutely amazing! ❤🎉
Awesome job! You make these repairs seem so simple and effortless. You have a good demeanor too.
Anyone know what he had the gpu plugged in to? Was it a pcie riser?
Yes x1 riser
I watched enough of your channel to get a sunburn with all that UV light.
Just for content. Should measure first from point to point.
Will clearly show before and after.
And sooth peoples itches.
Great stuff
5:20
Cool easter egg. There is a cursor at the top left corner of the screen.
always like to see smile on face after fixed GPU
Hey Alex, what is the hourglass next to you for?
Is there a manufacturer of GFX cards that you do not see many of? That would be the one to buy I'm thinking
I have a xfx merch 6800xt that went black screen then every time I turn the computer on it wont post. just VGA light stays on. how can i send you to have it repaired
i see an rx 6900xt in my country for very cheap it says it has as shorting problem but the guys description says he used only a single 8 pin connector on the card. how much money should i offer to gamble on buying it.
I have this GPU! The red devil version. I love it!
awesome. keep it alive!
What is happeiness when you cant afford 512mb card but you enjoy watching alex repairing beast cards ❤😢
Nice Content, please show other Card in next video 👍
UV Light? I am ready! 😎👍
How do people destroy so many cards? I have never had a single card fail. I still have an old amd 2 gig card I use for troubleshooting, I've had it for a decade now? Something like that. Works great. What are people doing to burn up components?
Thank you Habibi!
Whats the reason that capacitor torn out?
مبدع كالعادة
Good job mate 👍
Great job
Beautiful repair 🤩🤩🤩
My eyes! Your UV damaged my eyes! Im gonna sue!
what would have been your next step if you did not catch that part visually
what is he using for videocard mount extender?
Great job!
Thanks for shinning your UV light on me, now I can't hear out of my left eye. 🤣🤣🤣
The corrosion might be caused by leakage from the capacitors.
i thought smd caps dont leak, unlike electrolytic Capacitors?
perhaps i am wrong
asus x441uv core i3 6006 nvidia 920mx, but the nvidia gpu not showing in the device manager, any solution ?
Was saying under my breath on visual inspection, "Come on already " then you found that loose component great work sir
So what about the 2nd 6900 XT?
I use a small blob of epoxy to set a component, works good and safer.
Probably Linus that send those cards in the way he drops stuff :p
It is better to use a large heatsink on the GPU during the momentary test.
that would require more time to set up and pull down.. in a busy shop they have to be very efficient with time. the card would power down anyway if it gets too hot.
He said only for a few seconds. During bootup the clocks are at a minimum, core is undervolted, and only pulling 10-15 watts. 3080, 3090, 4090 etc need a small heatsink at least, don't need a fan for short term testing.
Hello northridge..how can i get the Uv light same as yours
they have an online store, it's on video description
so would a short on the 12v rail mean a dead gpu?
probably shorted vrm
Where did the short on 12v go?
Never had a 12v short. He was showing where they mainly fault and with no short readings he moved onto visual inspection.
Good Job !
I still find the UV light comment to be bost very stupid and funny lol
brilliant fix!
Nice job
awesome!!!
UV meme still brings a smile to my face
Hi engineer
which country are you
That UV light definitely just gave me testicular cancer😂😂
why they use 0 ohns resistors?
Provides a test point and allows isolation (i.e. for injection) and current monitoring (resistor removed).
Overcurrent renders the resistor open, i.e. very high resistance and protect whatever components that comes ahead of it. Changing the resistor will be cheaper than changing one of the more expensive components. The 0 Ohm resistor acts here just like a fuse.
Slow fuse

Always were eye protection in Northridge
Hussain uses his microscope for product advertisement.😂😂😂
damn... UV light.... too bad for all those vampire viewers...
Omg, iv gone blind from the UV light blasting thru my phone screen! /s. I cant believe someone said that.
and the second graphic card ??? what append !
Working as designed.
I have this same card 😬
I have RX 6700 XT:
Before it black screen im getting Flickering then after that it black screen i went to the nearest technician in my City and he was able to fix the black screen but the flickering, black screen still not able to fix
I repeat he was able to fix the black screen it was able to boot to windows but the flickering and black screen occuring i do what he said that
DDU
Clean Reinstall Driver
Clean Reinstall OS 11
Clean Reinstall OS 10
Still the same flicker and black screen i was able to bring my GPU to him and now he is stll diagnosis it i hope he will able to fix it if not i will try repair it to international
After fifteen years of computer repairs, I can say that I would not buy a screw from Gigabyte.
I feel my soul being sucked from my body. That dam light does not in any way shine U.V. light waves through a TV. Where did anyone come up with a thought like that!?!?'I'm glad that us techs do not think like that.:)
I'm suing you because you damaged my eyes with UV light
greetz from germany
I like the voice "better than factory" at the end of every new video.
Better than factory 🤣
