Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop - How a laptop RTX3060 GPU can die

[@benediktlaumann4116]

This is un(fortunately) my laptop. Sent it yesterday, arrived midday, we communicated about the diagnosed problem at 2pm and I see the video online at 7pm. I salute your speed and professionalism! PS: I use the laptop not for gaming but for music production and video editing. That's when such a big screen becomes helpful :)

[@dhankthapamagar3389]

I have acer predator helious 300 and use it for Music production and video editing.

[@worldparfum8564]

Me too

[@alonsoleon9334]

my asus tuf a15 from 2021 gpu is dead, same problem i think, noone can detect the main reason. its not a gaming laptop anymore... :(

[@steinbauge4591]

@@alonsoleon9334 is eGPU a possibility?

[@steinbauge4591]

would eGPU work on this one?

[@Liferoad371]

I Have been watching you for a long time and learned a lot, keep up the good work.

[@mercuryfor1956]

for mosfets, there is also another important parameter: the Cgs capa (cis) which influences the communication speed. Often, when the RDC.on resistance is lower, the Cgs capacity is greater.

[@mercuryfor1956]

sory, switching speed, not communication speed

[@StechAnfo]

when ever i come to uk i will fix my 5 laptop from you ur expert

[@enniolocatelli3422]

Why don't you put a link to your other channels under the "channels" tab so that we can easily switch between them with ease. Thank you for your great videos

[@RebootTechnologies]

Excellent video

[@jeinnerabdel]

I learned a lot with your video. Thank you for your hard work!

[@zulauk]

Thanks for sharing, awesome video

[@SebastianFlack]

Nice content!

[@oilybrakes]

The issue with just 5$ PCBs is that the shipping will cost you a few hundred bucks. That stuff is heavy. Although... We do order arrays of pcbs where every array is like 3 pcbs on a DIN-A4 big piece of PCB.

[@TulipLuna6662012]

Great content!

[@Dohcoms]

Great lesson Sorin!, Thanks , unfortunate about them GPU'S and VRAM failing, I am wondering which fails first the VRAM or GPU or maybe could be either?

[@dmisi1]

if ads are looks like Sorin make i watch them all with pleasure ,....... !!!

[@Spitzenkaffee]

Sorin, I am not entirely sure, about this but the RTX3060 and RTX4060 suffer from the same issue: Basically its a large DIE and the solderballs tend to get broken. Try pushing down on the GPU while powering on. Or use your magig rossin Flux and do a short reballing. There might be a small chance, that the GPU is still alive. Or am I wrong? I am supprised you were able to measure the VRAM.

[@Arvidje]

is there something as a voltage protector? or protection implementation to prevent this..?

[@danieloctrinov7681]

Maybe pwm chip to control mosfet driver, and mosfet is failed

[@italianofx]

I hope there will be a director's uncut version in other channel

[@Michael-B41]

the pc still shows it to be there wouldnt there be slight chance its just bad vram?

[@Johny333-xk9js]

Can I use a wire instead of a mosfet?

[@ProGaming-bm6ff]

no lol

[@roysta8915]

My Acer Nitro 5 GPU died after 4 years, last week. Is there a way to replace the GPU with a new one ?

[@justdio7459]

Im pretty sure it is soldered to the motherboard, so if you want to replace it you have to replace the whole motherboard, i learned it the hard way and declined the offer because the replacement costs is the same as the laptop itself. You can get an external gpu instead i guess

[@tafadzwamusekiwa659]

Hi Sorin, if that error is code43 (right click the gpu and see the error code), if you have code43 is a VRAM issue, you need to run NVidia mods software especially version 455 for these 30 series cards, it will show you the faulty VRAM, the fault could be broken pads under or a damaged chip which you can replace. Good luck.

[@victor-emanuelpaulescu4875]

The name of the Nvidia program? To see the faulty VRAM?

[@tafadzwamusekiwa659]

I mentioned it, it's mods, there's mats also ​@@victor-emanuelpaulescu4875

[@maklogetrich2378]

most likely if you check with GPU-Z, vram would be 0 mb and the problem is the vram itself (mostly)

[@Fusions-xl3sh]

First acer laptop i buy barely last less then a year my hp gaminy laptop last 7 year and never broke i sold it

[@eelm2079]

i had the same laptop after a year frames dropped on everygame. Just cleaned out the fans and it[s back to brand new. There was no indication from gpu temp/% this was happpening just slowed

[@iphonegoes1250]

Awesome video❤❤❤

[@baghdadiabdellatif1581]

I am sorry for him

[@retrocomputinggrotto]

At least it can be used for something rather than having to go straight in to the WEEE/eWaste.

[@rfr653]

Good job mate 👍

[@CukiErti]

[@johannbiker8803]

👍👍You are simply the best

[@KGSales-g5i]

Here we have a proper nice laptop.

[@UNKNOWN-kb4hh]

I have the same problem with my Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop . The video card and V ram is out of order , but i still have the guaranty for another 4 years and 4 month . I believe will be better for them to give me the money back , than just exchange always that video card with V ram ones in 4/5 month 😂😂😂

[@dmisi1]

KZbin can stop this ADS WAR just put ads like Sorin type ads ,,.......

[@Swenser]

Easy peasy. Contact Acer for the GPU chip and let them know if they give you one you will sponsor their newest laptop on your channel that has 1 million viewers. Great idea, right? But robot morons working on the phones at Acer won't help most likely no matter how much we kiss their bottoms.

[@benediktlaumann4116]

Isn't there a new EU directive for the right to repair?

[@Swenser]

@@benediktlaumann4116 no. Just a right for everyone to be cooky.

[@ianvincent6670]

I have a nitro 5 ryzen 5 4000 series with gtx 1650. Had anl lcd problem and was fixed but now sluggish even though upgraded into m2 and 24gb dual channel. Please help :( I'm a fan from the Philippines

[@abdullahk0405]

Can we prevent this from happening Sorin? Like applying thermal pad and a small metal piece on top of mosfets?

[@jerryhan9668]

Such a good or should I say the best repair jobs we can find in KZbin. I Can't Believe!!!

[@lucataszarek8782]

Hello🤝good job 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👋👋👋👋👋

[@octavian9627]

Sorin, acest laptop are o sansa ca placa gpu-ul sa fie bun, dar doar o memorie vram sa fie arsa, nu este scurt pe bobina care alimenteaza vramul si gpu este ok.

[@direx1257]

Add bloker off. Good to go ;)

[@sonzadadj]

😮i guess This one @techcemetery will sort it out ❤

[@teslasapple]

Is it a win? Is it a lose? You decide 🫵

[@ros-spur98]

Lets call it a draw.
