[@fryvanlee]

Great video and good explanations. It's been almost three year from your upload, but maybe I can help. Atm have the "same card" tu102-300-k6-a1 laying on my table with a similar issue. The card was gifted from a broken pc which was falling off a shelf. The circuit board looks quite good, no damage to see or any loosing parts from the circuit. Plugin-in the card on a test bench reveals error with the card. I don't have the equipment and know-how like you to examen all the parts for a failure. If you still do stuff like that, and you're interested, pm me and I can ship you the card, for hopefully a second life. Personally, I'm not interested in the card, but I see like this. With some skill the card can still have purpose before it lands in the landfill, the parts soldered on the circuit still have a value in my eye.

Very helpful video. But how do you know witch phase powers CPU / RAM / PCIE and others. As for me phases for CPU and memory look identical, the same is true for other smaller phases - how do you know witch one is PCIE 12v, 5v, 3.3v / 1.8v without schematics?

[@dtiydr]

For sale as "Broken/for parts" on Ebay in a close future.

[@nolan.w.allaire7034]

Do you have schematics for these cards? How can you find out how they work?

[@raygud]

[@ToniML200]

Where can I learn how to fix graphics card like you do? I mean, I don't really understand how you diagnose them: you have very few videos doing this and I don't see you testing the same things on these cards. If I were to fix a graphics card now, I'd just check for the external 12V and the PCI-E 3.3V. After this, the coils and the MOSFETs would be next. If I'd see 0V on one of them, I'd *literally* follow the traces and see where they go and test like that. Any help anyone?

Hey Eli, this channel is awesome. I got a 2 questions regarding 2 different broken GPU sympthoms and what is mostly their cause in your experience: 1. Code 43 (lost contact on GPU chip balls?! - reflow?) 2. a card that has extreme stuttering ingame and goes down to 1-5 fps, even though its working ingame.

[@vjeko3471]

Hey dude, did you found out what is mostly cause for Code 43?

[@pp3v42_g3h]

@@vjeko3471 Depends on the exact card. Error 43 means "something is wrong with the hardware", it can be the vbios, vram, GPU core, phisical damage and anything else.

Hey expert can you guide me a bit. My old quadro 4000 isn't being detected in post. It all happened when I took the card out for cleaning and I put the card back. I turned on the computer and windows was loaded. When i launched the msi burner to change fan speed. My pc froze and I had to force turn off. After that it is not being detected in post. Can u tell me which component is more likely to be damaged?

[@SidneyCritic]

Not that I know what I'm talking about - lol - but I saw on EEVblog that the closer you get to the short the lower the resistance. Maybe probe along the 5V line. Maybe that broken connector is shorting. Are those cheap thermal cams on the phone capable of seeing a 300ma short.

[@dtiydr]

It woud be depending on the voltage at that current, but say half a watt then yes they should be able to but it might be hard to pinpoint it since these cameras have so ridiculous low resolution. And btw you can't really probe the lines without scraping of the solder resist which would be a slight hell and also very risky and the line could also go inside the card into different layers so it could be impossible to follow.

[@DOverton252]

Hey Eli! I bought a 2080Ti (broken) on ebay a while back. In GPU-Z, it shows 0mb Memory, Unknown Bandwidth (for memory), and Unknown Bus Width. I'm assuming either the Memory Controller in the GPU is dead, or the power rail for memory is too low. I only work on this card in my spare time at work, and I do not have a way to power it outside of my own computer at home (which I have no problem doing). Resistance on the rail is lower than I expected (around 34Ohms with RAM chips on the board), and I haven't tested the power on the rail yet because I do not have a way to power the card, and the GPU gets WAYYY too hot without a heatsink and fan on it. I have learned that the Turing series GPUs do not have the protection that stops them from displaying without VRAM. I removed all the RAM chips to see if the Resistance would change, and it's gone up to around 42Ohms. I cannot find any information online for repair on this card. I have reballed GPU and RAM, and got them both back on the board, with the same issue. I even replaced about 6 of the chips because I heard a while ago that there were some known memory issues with this card. I removed the RAM again after testing, because i got the same results. When installing the driver for this card, I get a heavily distorted screen, followed by a driver crash and error code 43 in windows (on the driver in device manager). This was the initial issue.

Queria saber se pode ser algum problema no pcb ao invés do chip, pois tudo que acontece com placa de vídeo, todos já falam em reballing.

Hi! I have a short on the VRAm power line, it has 2 phases for VRAM power and 8 phases for GPU, on GPU I have about 3.2ohm so it looks ggod, on VRAm I have 0.6V which is my multimeter's short resistance so it is shorted. I removed the 2 mosfets and the 2 smd caps on that phase now the 2 electolite capacitors. I still measure short. There is a scratch at the PCB oposite of a ddr ram cip but I did not see it sorted so just covered and fixed the cut traces. I set 1.3V at the vRAM power line out it consumes abput 2.17 amps (on 1.1V only 1.84amps) I am unable to feel the heating by hand :( How to find the short there? It is a Gainward Phantom 780Ti
