ASUS Strix 3080 Repair: Identifying a Short Circuit from a Solder Blob

[@shakysugars]

If i could just flip one broken card.. just once. I would be satisfied. Thanks for sharing your work. Learning a lot!

[@RuwanTech]

I did the same job for strix 3080ti. Awesome work 🇱🇰

[@robertpage2023]

No need for a part 2 as you already found the fault and the fix. This was a great tutorial for diagnostics of these cards. The usual faults were not evident. I was looking for burns on the DR's but not paying that close attention to the solder connections. I will from now on. This reminds me of the time a while back that you found a hidden fault on a chip simply because it had lost its solder contact. The fix was easy as all you had to do was to heat it and bump it to flow the solder and make the connection more secure.

Nice Job Boss Just a reminder By experience I found out shorts on thin lines get hot but Shorted lines do not get hot when they are found under or within thick layers of components

Repaired my Subwoofer and control unit from my car. Im noob but it works. Keep it up.❤

[@melstead7937]

I always look forward to your videos and learn lots. Thank you for making them for us. You amaze me with your knowledge and ability to locate the problem. P.S. I do not finish with the videos until I hear your little girl say "Better than Factory"!👏👏👏👏👏5*

[@K6HR]

Excellent skill, knowledge, and experience demonstrated here!

[@rynogod5956]

Isn't it is funny we love to watch someone's dead device 😅 That guy must be worrying about his/her device But we got Mr. Alex ❤❤

[@Jooligan1]

Amazing that you found this tiny blob Alex !!!

[@aremaka4438]

Wonderful job and thank you for sharing information.you're a legend

[@MikoMozzer]

I think still posting the non fixable video would also be good, as we would still gain a great knowledge from how someone of your skill level tracks down issues and the most important thing is that even the best don't always manage a fix. That is a great reassurance for some of us, I guarantee it 😀

There is a similarity between the shop and the kitchen. When there are finger marks in the cake frosting you can check the fingers of each and every kid for finger frosting blobs to find the culprit. However most people don't have as many children in their family as that board has MOSFETs.

excellent work Rkon

Nice Job boss again and again ❤

You can use a backup audio, even a lower quality is better than none. You can use the audio from the camera.

[@you166mhz]

still a quality job and clip .... thanks ...

[@mushkin92]

Thx a lot for sharing your knowledge

[@rm4213]

Wow great find (awesome awesome alex voice)

[@PvtTex96]

Even if you don’t make a part two, can you keep us updated, like on a post or something? Sometimes you leave us on a cliffhanger 😅. Nevertheless, I enjoy watching your videos!!

[@shadowarez1337]

Can't wait to send in my Galaxy Katana single slot 1070Ti it's a rare card up here in NA it looks like this one was in a desert shop for awhile.

[@kevlar420666]

I’ve got a 7900xtx I got screwed over on. I hope these guys can fix it. 😢

[@Riyaz-11]

Awesome work 👍🎉🎉🎉

[@mardina1a]

Is there any method to test that dual mosfet is good or not?or is that video card works witout that mosfet it woud be very helpfull to know that I'm a retired laptop MB repair technician but I learned too much critical points from your videos.thank you

[@CryptoPunk_]

I LOVE THESE VIDEOS :D

[@Blade43548]

Love you man

[@bobbyr8071]

Ur welcome for the help Alex 😂😂😂

[@cjay2]

Alex, Post a video on the completion of the repair. What the heck?

[@suryavanshib]

Awesome ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

[@ctecrwp]

Visual inspection.. frankly sometimes I got irritated why does h time BUT it shows the importance.🎉

[@TalmiiorFixesStuff]

Hey Alex, have you considered making a small side circuit that only sounds a loud beep when the circuit detects an unusable battery voltage for your microphone? With your diagnostics ability, it may be enough to create such a circuit, or even use a micro arduino board to let you know the battery has died on ya. Or, if you prefer, toss it out to your youtube community as an event. Whoever makes the smallest circuit for the model of your microphone receiver that holds the battery, wins. Wins what? I donno, I'll leave that up to you. Would be a huge annoyance off of your shoulders though

[@Matthew-j3b]

Tin wiskers is why i left the field That's a common issue They weren't paying enough to find it

[@DarkW8]

Why you didn't remove the blob first then checked if the short is gone

[@janaboy82]

You can maybe do narration on the already recorded video 🤪

[@SB-sx2hp]

Why not resolder the old chip?

[@JustInspiredKent]

Because it's shorted?

[@gsoulracing566]

it failed to a condition where it was getting so hot, it was melting solder

[@drstrangel0ve]

Why do you want to keep a dead chip in the device and maybe blow a capacitor on the side, by soldering and then desoldering again the bad one and then soldering a good one? It's taken out, you know it was taken out, and you'll just stress the capacitors just twice.

[@Negiku]

Why would he, what would be the point of finding a faulty component, removing and soldering it back? That's back to square one.

[@imqqmi]

Why not put back the nail in a punctured tyre after you remove it? It doesn't make sense. You repair the hole.

[@byfulito]

Loooolll It houg the audio issue was on me, hahahaha

[@SUSKUN.FF.]

🎉❤

[@martin-fc4kk]

yeah, maybe not, gogogo!

[@archerbob6847]

Can you not get a dummy battery and connect it to power all the time? There's a YT video of one such adapter to permanently power your mic - kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6Soq4yYgcp0aJI

[@PatriceHOBBAH]

👋👋👋👋

[@F-sj7cu]

Why use batteries for your mic? You always record at your desk, just plug it in for AC power

[@ronwade2206]

Or maybe not? Bwaaaahhaaa!

*Good job!*
