Just think of all the graphics cards out of warranty that were thrown away because one tiny component failed. Really wish board level repair was more common for GPU's, especially in these times when there's such severe shortages.

[@AstroflashYT]

In the UK at least, it's very tricky to find someone who knows what they're doing. Many companies offer repair but really all they do is some shitty reflow and hope for the best.

[@alimoradi2323]

I'm really enjoy and learning from your channel. Thank you

[@flashcomp2371]

subscribed dude, great job , you know what you're doing and it's good

[@Wingedmechanic]

Ok. The thing with the buck controllers and their power good signal is that they almost always is an open drain output. It means the actual power good signal is an 'always on' signal drawn directly off the main supply through a high value resistor. The controller chip connects this signal to ground through am internal MOSFET that is in off state (hence the name 'open drain'). Whenever it senses the output voltage to be outside an acceptable range, the internal MOSFET is turned on, shorting the power good signal to ground and driving it low. It is done this way probably to safeguard the circuit by driving the power good low in case if the controller is damaged with an internal short circuit.

Thanks for the video with the explanations as you went. I have purchased 6 video cards that are broke and I am trying to learn how to fix them. These are cheap cards, and most of the channels are for expensive cards and they are laid out differently and that makes it tough to try to follow along. I bought 4 nvida cards that are 9800 cards and had 3 others. Ebay has these for 30.00 for 5 cards. Thanks again for the video.

[@TechCemetery]

It's normal, it's shorter so that it'll make electrical contact last - it's used for hot-plug detection.

[@badnewsbruner]

First of all, great fuckin' job dude! Very good video, I subbed and will share this on my Twitter page. I have the ftw3 version of the 1080Ti that is giving me a similar issue. I vape in my room, and the ventilation isn't the best and my PC started not wanting to post... You can see where this is going. Thankfully it was JUST the GPU that had vapour condensation on it, but it was quite a lot. long story short, I stripped the card, gave it a scrub with some isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush. The strange thing is, the PC boots, and games fine, I've even got it overclocked to 2ghz and it's fine, cool and fast. However, the card will not output a signal when the card is past ~42c, the PC will boot up and I can login to Windows, but I have no signal to the monitor. Once it cools down, I get a 'VGA card not supported by UEFI driver, CSM has been enabled for compatibility'. I then go into BIOS, disable CSM and the PC boots. I've already been through a week of all of the software, bios, vbios troubleshooting you could possibly do with this thing and I'm 99% confident it's a problem with either the 1.8v 3.3v or the 5v which was the issue with this card. I don't have a multimeter and wouldn't quite how to use it if I did. Do you think heatgunning the card might help? I don't know what to do, this has been thoroughly annoying.

Nice job. I repaired a few cards mainly stupid people doing traces and pry damage. I haven’t had the chance to troubleshoot one as no schematics/board diagram plus most cards are different. Just curious how did you figure most cards? Just reverse engineer etc?

Hello, thank you for your video. I'm trying to fix one 1080ti. When measuring, I found that the vcore is 1.3V instead of 800mv. Card not detected. The fans are spinning. Don't know what the problem might be? Thank you

[@Harrfuzz]

Hi, What kind of diagnostic would you recommend someone do if we want to make a repair request on your website? My Gigabyte Aorus 1080ti died recently and I am wary of going passed the 3.3v converter check because my board looks a different.

[@TechCemetery]

Honestly, just describe the symptoms you see. I don't expect my customers to have any technical knowledge of electronics or graphics cards.

[@BTech2077]

Very interensting, great video ... I would appreciate an advice - my friend has an issue with his GTX 980 Strix as it boots to desktop but it crashes (to a pure blue or black screen) a minute or two after entering a game (for example Lost Ark). We ordered a new PSU as we though it would solve the issue, because for a while he was able to use GPUTweak to lower GPU Power Target to 65%, underclock GPU and memory to lowest possible and he would be able to play games for hours. The new PSU (Corsair RM650 CP) did not solve the issue so we changed the thermal pad on the GPU VRM and repasted (GPU) and it did not solve the issue, but now it got worse - even with 65% power target and underclock it would crash a minute after entering a more demanding game. There is no visible damage on the card an it works with windows desktop ... I would also note an oil leak was present on the VRM the first time we opened it and we have cleaned it, so we are now wondering if the card can be repaired by a professional electronic or should we give it up?

[@Mad4400]

The VRM is failing and unable to keep up with the demands of the GPU. VRM's don't leak oil, what you seen was probably the effect of it getting too hot. It can be repaired, this channel has repeatedly proven that. However there may be more than just one VRM that needs replacing as suggested by the observed worsening performance. I imagine it could still be cheaper to repair than to buy a new replacement card.

[@HalifaxComputersRepair]

so i have question where do you find the schematics for the cards because i sure i have hell of the time looking for them lol

[@jackburton5085]

It's possible that my Card give me problem on PCI-Express x16 slot but, work fine on the X4 slot? Maybe is the x16 motherboard slot that have problem?

[@TechCemetery]

I've seen this once before, I don't have a solution for it unfortunately.

[@hasungtae]

Very informative video. I'm trying to diagnose my own EVGA 1080 Ti Gaming card that doesn't boot. Nothing looks obviously burned on the board. All the resistances are in line with your video, but the PCIe 12v is short to ground. External PCIe cables are not short. Do you have an idea where I should begin looking?

[@TechCemetery]

A short on 12V is usually caused by a dead MOSFET, you'll want to check the gate pins for all of your MOSFETs.

[@gagak84]

I have a short on 12v... it happen when i measured voltage in mem. Vram whether it get 1.35v or not..and my gpu suddenly... shut down.. After do several check..one of my 12v 8 pin is now shorted.... ..also may resistance for 5v 1.8v 1v is now not at normal value...before this good value.....is it mosfet?

[@sanibelt]

Great video! Do you buy these cards locally? Saw a local post his Asus RX 580 4gb variation for 30€.

Hey after watching this and researching wherever i could i still could not find if my graphics card 1.8v rail is shorted is is still possible to save it or is it gone for good?. if its gone for good does that mean that the main gpu chip is broken or what. would be appreciated if you can answer me. thankyou soo much

[@TorrixOfficial]

its actually 1070ti evga edition that is short right at from the main 1.8v component that we usually checks from and from that every single component connected to it is shorted and the repair shops after immediately telling them they are like its not save able you have to get the gpu chip replaced and stuff

Hi, thanks for the video very informative. I am trying to fix my own 1080 ti sc2. I have no shorts, all resistance measuring look good, I have 12v and 5v. I am missing 1v, memory vrm and gpu vrm voltages. What kind of damage can improperly measuring the 3.3v cause? my 1.8v was measuring properly and after measuring the 3.3v (which was 3.3) the 1.8v is gone and the core no longer gets warm.

[@TechCemetery]

Measuring 3.3V should cause no damage. Check for EN, VCC, and VIN for your 1.8V buck converter.

[@Evelisk]

@@TechCemetery I measured my 1.8v buck converter and got 12v VIN, 5.33v VCC, and 3.5v on EN. The inductor that is supposed to be 1.8v is actually sitting at 0.138v. Do you think the inductor could be the cause for the problems? Mainly just trying to figure out if the core is dead and if its worth taking to a repair shop becasue I do not have the tools to repair it myself. The card stopped working with a pop sound and a burning smell but with no visible marks on the board. Thanks!

[@Shermy29]

I need help with my 1v buck converter. I’m not getting any voltage. Everything else seems good. Shot I replace it or is it something that is causing it?

1v gets enabled by the main PWM controller's PGOOD pin. Check the main PWM controller if it's getting enabled or not.

Fantastic video and very informative, I have a reference mode and I have a believe I have a short on the 1v but the card had memory and vcore voltage as normal, any help would be great thank you

Short on 1V often indicates a dead GPU.

@@TechCemetery thank you very much for the information, is there anything I could try or look out for ? Sorry to ask but thank you.

[@TechCemetery]

@@matthewburke5363 Do you have 1V on the inductor when you turn the card on?. If yes, that's easily a dead GPU. If not, consider the buck converters and nearby capacitors.

[@matthewburke5363]

@@TechCemetery The inductor and capacitors to left are shorted to ground and when the card has power there is no voltage but I have the correct stand by voltage for memory and vcore, hopefully with a bit more testing I can find the problem and hopefully don’t have a dead chip lol but thank you and hope the channel is very successful 👍

[@RahmanKhan-lk2wx]

@Tech Cemetery any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

[@TechCemetery]

The ordering in the video is slightly incorrect. You don't have the 1V rail because you don't have the GPU VRM running. You need to focus on the UP9511p phase controller on the back of the board. You'll want to check if it receives VCC (5V) which is passed through either a 2.2 ohm or 1k ohm resistor, and you'll want to check if you have EN (2V or so) which is passed through a six pin dual transistor I believe near UP9511p.

[@mark98115]

You have said that the fans are not even twitching. May I ask why? What is the significance of fans twitching? I have EVGA Geforce FTX 1080Ti that was working fine. Then I removed it from the motherboard and it sat unused for a couple of weeks. I installed it into a different motherboard and it does not work. Tried in 3 different motherboards and it will not get recognized. Upon power on, the fans twitch. That is all they will do. The lights do come on. I tested the power connectors for shorts and PCI short testing gets a beep on pins 4 and 7 which I believe is what is supposed to be. Going shopping later today for proper screwdriver set so that I can disassemble it further.

[@TechCemetery]

Generally speaking, the 1.8V power rail needs to power on for the fans to at least to try start running. No twitch suggests a failure at 1.8V or before. Take a resistance measurement of the 1.8V, 1V, and memory phase and let me know what they are.

[@mark98115]

@@TechCemeteryHopefully I am measuring the correct components. Even though this card is the same make/model the board is a little different. 1.8V shows 129 ohms 1V shows 14 ohms memory phase is 59 ohms

[@TechCemetery]

@@mark98115 If you really have both 14 ohms and 129 ohms on the 1V and 1.8V rail respectively, then there is a very strong possibility you have a dead GPU.

However, when running the card without drivers i scan the card with a thermal camera and I find out that both of the memory inductors were the hottest spot on the card after the GPU. These inductors were around 55 to 60 C degrees, and this is not normal for a card without drivers and no under any stress. What do you think? Should I suspect bad memory MOSFETs? A memory chips which taking too much power and the memory power bank cannot not hold it up? Please let me know what you think it is and how I can confirm it! Thanks
