Gigabyte 6900 XT Graphics Card Repair - Black Screen

[@onuroskay8613]

I always got my UV glasses with me while watching your videos.

[@straxx99]

I would recommend that you also use sunscreen with at least SPF 50 to be on the safe side.

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

LOL

[@darkguset]

Don't forget the tin foil hat for that pesky RF!

[@rodhester2166]

It is not getting old. Always brings a smile to my face.. lol

[@HD-wf3bp]

I just did my first job for a small company and I did a good job. I'm happy!

[@mpoT3CHY]

The amount of high end graphics cards being ruined these days by people is heartbreaking. Thank goodness Alex and Big Boss are here to save the day, always, better than factory!

[@supremeboy]

Everyone thinks they are capable of renewing thermal paste at home and these are things that happen most likely, they rip-off micro transistors or worse ruin some trace with screwdrivers.

[@Steffen_]

Thats why unexperienced people see on youtube how tu build a pc, and try it by itself and fail.

[@mrBDeye]

That’s because unauthorized and untrained people with big hands and fat fingers think they know how to build gaming computers. Anyone with basic electronics knowledge will know that you should only hold a circuit board by the edge otherwise sensitive and delicate components can be damaged.

[@timop6340]

The high end stuff breaks also by themselves even with perfect installation procedures. You get maximum performance, not maximum reliability or anything similar...

[@Dracula.25]

​@Stellar-Nucleosynthesis Especially on 4090 😅

[@TheOnlyDominik]

Very good that you have additionally fixed the component with solder mask.

[@border056]

The micro probes you sell are fantastic for applying super thin layers of solder mask. It's easier that using tweezers.

[@Khivy94]

13:31 can you expose the U.V light to the camera about 30 secondes because i want to harden my solder mask !!!

[@qwertyboguss]

Just pause the video man. Endless UV light

[@Khivy94]

@@qwertyboguss Ok U.V light for eternety

[@BigEightiesNewWave]

He is so good, to the point, no BS. Kind of guy you want if Apollo has a problem.

[@stkrrauch1]

the right tools /the quality of the picture to see such a small part is incredible

[@polonavarro6177]

The visual inspection is one of the most important thing when we repair electrónics. I have fixed alot of stuff with only a good visual inspection. Great videos Alex. How's the leg?

[@yasha1928]

Great fix Northridge! The amount of respect I have for someone who shares the how-to of such intricate stuff is amazing. I've never been to the west coast before but one of these days I'll make it over there and check out the shop 👍

[@davidmugali]

Good deliberations, Alex continue educating the community.

[@bblod4896]

The microscope saved the day! Thanks for the video Alex.

[@DavidPennable]

not going to lie, I enjoy watching these videos with ambient techno in another tab :)

[@Suresh_Pillai]

Excellent visual inspection and quick fix. Well done Alex..! Hope one day manufacture will realize their poor design done on their high end video cards.. costing their customers lots of time and money.

[@jhorner52]

Great video. Have an Asrock 6750XT that won't power up. In one board, ASUS board with 700 watt PS, card is dead, but MB fires up. Other board, MSI with 650 watt PS, card is dead, MB dead also. Boards work fine with another card. Never have worked on a Video card, but watching your Repair vid gave the guts to at least take this one apart and try. Thanks!!

[@e78axboris78]

You have no clue how much things I repair thanks to your awesome videos. TNX bro and keep with good work.

[@ottospoelstra2481]

Alex you‘ve got eagle eyes vision installed 👍

[@MrMojolinux]

Yes, I would have missed that loose component even with his microscope!

[@JCerris]

Had the reference model from Asus (very similar), never modified it yet it had terrible temps and crashed in many games over the years. When one of the DisplayPorts and the HDMI stopped working I sent it in for RMA. Wish I had the skills to fix it myself but they sent me back an Asus TUF model, the temps and reliability are leagues better.

[@erict3975]

Hey Alex! Hope you are feeling better from your injury! Are you still planning on making a training program soon? With more help around,I’m sure you could have healed sooner

[@zedyt99981]

We really need professionals like you in our country.. Amazing job

[@gavin8tor]

Very satisfying videos; moreso the simplified process you display. ❤

[@Mnorbert25]

You got it I'm happy for you Big Boss is happy again with thumbs up !

[@pododas442]

ALEX JUST WAIT BEFORE USING THE UV LIGHT. LET ME GRAB A BOTTLE OF SUNSCREEN LOTION AND A GOGGLE FIRST. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Alycanj]

such a great picture with your microscope.

[@constantindanieltira]

Your UV light made my teeth white again 👍👍😀😀😀

[@gremayo7882]

thank u for sharing how you do your work. its really amazing like your a doctor and doing a Succesful surgery regards to you more

[@robertmorris9450]

I watched enough of your channel to get a sunburn with all that UV light.

[@MilanSahu1993]

you are aswm sir, i learrn very usefull knowledge from you, love from bharat(India)...

[@Nevakonaza.]

Amazing and efficient fix as always :)

[@crazychaba9816]

5:20 Cool easter egg. There is a cursor at the top left corner of the screen.

[@dexter8962]

always like to see smile on face after fixed GPU

[@TechProFury]

Just for content. Should measure first from point to point. Will clearly show before and after. And sooth peoples itches. Great stuff

[@paulstir]

Great detective work Alex 😁👌 I look forward to the next one

[@robertbartram5632]

another great Sherlock video the detective finding the naughty componant,,,,,,, and fix,,,,,,,

[@adiposerex5150]

The UV light comment never gets old. It is hysterical.

[@SaltCollecta]

I have this GPU! The red devil version. I love it!

[@ProcessedDigitally]

awesome. keep it alive!

[@Bigga_Velz85]

It's crazy how I find ur vids very interesting...I guess cuz I like troubleshooting things myself...but keep up the great work

[@Muhendisbeyy]

İyi işler, Alex bizim dünyayı eğitmeye devam ediyor.

[@Alpharabius99]

Cok kaliteli

[@oPtiMuMpRiCe]

I love your videos even if i don't understand how you do, you explain a lot and that's awesome ❤

[@aleksandarnikolic2852]

Thanks for giving knowledge. That is very expensive but you give for free I’m your follower from long time ago. I can only see thanks for everything.!!!

[@grahamhall2662]

I use a small blob of epoxy to set a component, works good and safer.

[@ghostfreckle]

Awesome job! You make these repairs seem so simple and effortless. You have a good demeanor too. Anyone know what he had the gpu plugged in to? Was it a pcie riser?

[@bombacimulayim1453]

Yes x1 riser

[@AshirAshfaque]

What is happeiness when you cant afford 512mb card but you enjoy watching alex repairing beast cards ❤😢

[@HazeAnderson]

UV Light? I am ready! 😎👍

[@IDontKnowYou1216]

What's the thing he plugs the the PCIe pins into?

[@CottonInDerTube]

14:20 Isnt it risky to not wear uav glasses, because the uav light could reflect from any surface (f.e. from the board)? I have no idea, thats why im asking. But from my understanding: if you can see it, it reaches your eyes.

[@aitorbleda8267]

It is, I know someone who got burns in the cornea due to using the wrong glasses. It is no joke.

[@TheGuruStud]

no, he's not looking at it and it's low power

[@CottonInDerTube]

​@@TheGuruStud Just because you are not looking at it and its low power does not mean it does not hurt you. You just get hurt slowly and you "dont see it comming".

[@bmanu996]

Hi, can I know the name so I can search for them, those small components that are found in pairs above the PCI Express connection? rx6900xt. they are seen at minute 8:13

[@ChildofLight777]

Thank you Habibi!

[@nikos-cv9gu]

HELLO !! MAY I ASK YOU SOMETHING ? WHERE CAN I FIND SPARE PARTS FOR RX 6700 XT ( SPECIFICALLY I NEED 1 x MPMT 8633 A522 E chip , 1 x R562042 12v power coil , 1 x D 2mm , 1 x D 4mm and 5 x SKA37 270 16V CAPACITORS )

[@sgtellioman]

Is there a manufacturer of GFX cards that you do not see many of? That would be the one to buy I'm thinking

[@Shinedown2012]

Was saying under my breath on visual inspection, "Come on already " then you found that loose component great work sir

[@FINNIUSORION]

How do people destroy so many cards? I have never had a single card fail. I still have an old amd 2 gig card I use for troubleshooting, I've had it for a decade now? Something like that. Works great. What are people doing to burn up components?

[@MrRight-uv9vb]

Amazing absolutely amazing! ❤🎉

[@yogidemis8513]

Once again another fantastic video. Nice fix!!

[@jensg.5256]

Nice Content, please show other Card in next video 👍

[@ianvervalin9002]

Always were eye protection in Northridge

[@Photonees]

Probably Linus that send those cards in the way he drops stuff :p

[@Erebus-r3g]

That UV light definitely just gave me testicular cancer😂😂

[@mustang6942]

Thanks for shinning your UV light on me, now I can't hear out of my left eye. 🤣🤣🤣

[@jimmiller9330]

The corrosion might be caused by leakage from the capacitors.

[@yaniv4786]

i thought smd caps dont leak, unlike electrolytic Capacitors? perhaps i am wrong

[@bahadoromid3554]

It is better to use a large heatsink on the GPU during the momentary test.

[@ProcessedDigitally]

that would require more time to set up and pull down.. in a busy shop they have to be very efficient with time. the card would power down anyway if it gets too hot.

[@brnmcc01]

He said only for a few seconds. During bootup the clocks are at a minimum, core is undervolted, and only pulling 10-15 watts. 3080, 3090, 4090 etc need a small heatsink at least, don't need a fan for short term testing.

[@arrowsmind6605]

i see an rx 6900xt in my country for very cheap it says it has as shorting problem but the guys description says he used only a single 8 pin connector on the card. how much money should i offer to gamble on buying it.

[@titoferro7774]

Hey Alex, what is the hourglass next to you for?

[@mikevanvolkenburgh5348]

Great job

[@chireaionut8473]

damn... UV light.... too bad for all those vampire viewers...

[@KyupalNgYoutube]

Whats the reason that capacitor torn out?

[@rogamingz206]

what is he using for videocard mount extender?

[@eliax600]

Beautiful repair 🤩🤩🤩

[@en4mulxk4rim]

Hussain uses his microscope for product advertisement.😂😂😂

[@rfr653]

Good job mate 👍

[@CorpusChristidj]

what would have been your next step if you did not catch that part visually

[@FaiedElectronic]

مبدع كالعادة

[@my-yt-inputs2580]

So what about the 2nd 6900 XT?

[@NapTuazon]

Great job!

UV meme still brings a smile to my face

[@jacquesb5248]

brilliant fix!

[@drevokocur66]

Working as designed.

[@bonifacemambo6990]

Hello northridge..how can i get the Uv light same as yours

[@eat666shit]

they have an online store, it's on video description

[@faridtanjungsaputra]

asus x441uv core i3 6006 nvidia 920mx, but the nvidia gpu not showing in the device manager, any solution ?

[@protection4541]

Hi engineer which country are you

[@chubbysumo2230]

Omg, iv gone blind from the UV light blasting thru my phone screen! /s. I cant believe someone said that.

[@perlit22]

awesome!!!

[@Peter-oc3wl]

Good Job !

[@Jason-zh7wo]

Nice job

[@tafadzwamusekiwa659]

Where did the short on 12v go?

[@mpoT3CHY]

Never had a 12v short. He was showing where they mainly fault and with no short readings he moved onto visual inspection.

[@brianepstein8444]

so would a short on the 12v rail mean a dead gpu?

[@TheGuruStud]

probably shorted vrm

[@LucifersKrampus]

After fifteen years of computer repairs, I can say that I would not buy a screw from Gigabyte.

[@AI_MicroSolder]

I feel my soul being sucked from my body. That dam light does not in any way shine U.V. light waves through a TV. Where did anyone come up with a thought like that!?!?'I'm glad that us techs do not think like that.:)

[@Mnorbert25]

Better than factory 🤣

[@jryngki5094]

I like the voice "better than factory" at the end of every new video.

[@francoism.1689]

and the second graphic card ??? what append !

[@Efe.Erenoglu]

Hello, First of all, my English is really terrible and I am using translation. I apologize for my spelling mistakes. When I Try to Turn On My Xbox One, It Suddenly Shuts Down, The Startup Sound Is Interrupted, The Screen Doesn't Come On And The Fan Doesn't Turn. I Checked the Mosfets on the Power Line, There Is No Problem. I Changed the Power Supply, My Question Still Continues. Since I do not know the values of the coils and resistors, I could not check them. The opening sound may sometimes be interrupted after pressing the button. I saw you repairing it in your previous videos, I am writing to you from Turkey. Can You Help Me With This Problem? It Depends on Which Areas I Should Control and How.

[@radixs]

My eyes! Your UV damaged my eyes! Im gonna sue!

[@nycdude450]

no surprise its the smallest components that caused it.

[@sinistan1002]

I have this same card 😬

[@thedelaylama1379]

I'm suing you because you damaged my eyes with UV light greetz from germany

[@sakhouthossain5335]

why they use 0 ohns resistors?

[@ralphj4012]

Provides a test point and allows isolation (i.e. for injection) and current monitoring (resistor removed).

[@husainhabib4789]

Overcurrent renders the resistor open, i.e. very high resistance and protect whatever components that comes ahead of it. Changing the resistor will be cheaper than changing one of the more expensive components. The 0 Ohm resistor acts here just like a fuse.

[@gile849]

Slow fuse

[@undetected426]

I have RX 6700 XT: Before it black screen im getting Flickering then after that it black screen i went to the nearest technician in my City and he was able to fix the black screen but the flickering, black screen still not able to fix I repeat he was able to fix the black screen it was able to boot to windows but the flickering and black screen occuring i do what he said that DDU Clean Reinstall Driver Clean Reinstall OS 11 Clean Reinstall OS 10 Still the same flicker and black screen i was able to bring my GPU to him and now he is stll diagnosis it i hope he will able to fix it if not i will try repair it to international
