GeForce RTX 3090 $3000 Graphics Card No Display Repair

[@Paperghost]

The work you do is so very intricate and its not always clear to the viewers just how intricate because they are only viewing output direct from your microscope. Micro soldering is an art all of its own and is different to traditional soldering in many ways. Casual viewers may not appreciate why you use the techniques you do and how small the tolerances you work within are. Once again a brilliant video which was both engaging and educational. Thank you for sharing your skills with us.

[@BHSAHFAD]

whats interesting is that the hdmi connector on the pcb had the footprint for 3 different types of hdmi connectors

[@Spelter]

I guess Nvidia made their own for this sick monster to prevent repairs when somebody kills the hdmi or display ports. Wouldn't be the first time. Once upon time (damn I'm old) on a GeForce 2, somebody killed the VGA port. That's an accomplishment. But we thought "eh, it's only a port" and took one of an older card from the scrap pile. Had to find out, it doesn't fit. Took some time to get one, but after 4 long weeks, the customer could get his card back, he was a Counterstrike 1.x player, classic Counterstrike. He was happy, we were happy and times were harder but relaxed in that regard. Nowadays, people piss you off and I'm glad I'm out of PC support.

Was I seeing wrong but there was mounting pads for that connector. They usually made pcb that support few variants from different manufacturers of that connector. Think case where you have these boards laying around and manufacturer can't deliver that connector. So they have at least pads for few different manufacturers parts. Note: That seems like VR accident where you were tripping the cord and destroy HDMI or DP connector.

[@salah-eldinessam8292]

Thanks alot for your amazing videos and I have a question. What is the purpose for the white paper and the brush moving in it?

[@lxXxlWombatl]

I run a computer repair shop myself; the only reason why I can think that a customer wants the HDMI port to work is because it's a HDMI 2.1 port which carries a 4k signal @ 120hz. The question is with your repair does your replacement HDMI port a 2.1 spec? cause if not this can create future problems for the customer or resell value if it doesn't use a 2.1 spec.

[@NorthridgeFix]

It's not the connector that makes 2.1, it's the hardware and cable. All connectors have 19 pins and has nothing to do with HDMI version control.
