GTX TITAN broken, no video out diagnostic + repair + a bit talk about bios graphic card repair

Don't forget put likes/dislikes and subscribe for more. Thank you in advance
Bios issues are still one of the common issues on graphic cards. Here you will see how to diagnose video card with bios which needs to be reprogrammed. Thanx

[@abeleski]

Excellent video. Thank you. It would be nice to give more detail about your resistance and voltage checks like a what to expect where. 👍

[@FULCEER]

U still belive in Santa Klaus???

[@Jacobprogammer]

Or watch the video

[@animalyze7120]

See lots of people trying to get Eli to explain every detail about how to do repairs for free, can't understand why so many people can be so ignorant. 1st: He makes money by doing repairs...I hope ;) 2nd: If you want him to go into the minute details then you should be forking over cash for those lessons. Geeze people he's already showing you too much for free, if you can't figure out how to do this from watching a few videos then you are the type who requires detailed classes and those cost money. Eli I hope you decide to make detailed how to video's and put them behind a pay wall, you deserve it and that money could really help you get all the tools required to open up shop. Believe it or not your skill set is in demand especially with Vintage retro computer electronics, Motherboards, GPU's etc. It could be helpful to have an army of Padowan's working for you ;) Great work as always Eli keep it up!

[@rejanrahman5760]

Yeah, totally agree with you mate. For those people who wants to learn more about repairs, PAY Eli. Cause all Eli invested a lot of time into it and gradually gathered those skills, Not like those people who wants to learn those things over a night.

[@alanrodriguez1433]

Man, pleas more!) so interesting to watch and thank you for sharin your work. Congrats on 1K subs, you deserve more tho!! Bios as well keeps light settings

[@gercho1991]

Great video, mate! Can you explain to us in another video in more details where to meassure most of the video cards voltages and rezistans. It was pretty clear for the Titan, but i have 5770 dead one and don't know where to measure. Maybe a video called - understanding how videocards works Thanks again ;)

Last night I lost my shit when i updated my R9 270X Gigabyte bios with a wrong series bios and bricked it. It was my first attempt of vbios flash and went wrong. I tought i burnt it. I searched over internet and found a way with bootable usb to make another vbios flash. I had luck with integrated vga HD 4250 because i hadn't acces to another pc to make the bootable usb. Anyway, keep up with the good stuf. It is very interesting :)

[@ChfHappySack]

If I was this dude, I'd be buying broken 100$ titans on ebay then fix and resell them for hundreds of dollars lol. I wish I had the knowledge you have.

[@techbuildspcs]

I wish I had the tools lol good soldering station cost $200+

[@Coooooookie806]

Hi, Loving your videos and great to see you repairing graphics card rather than just binning them.Quick question where did you get the .bin file for this Titan X repair as I need to find the bios .bin to reload mine.

[@adrianandy5878]

Some graphics cards have a small switch on them that allows you to revert the bios to previous settings, in case you manage to brick your card when you do a bios change.

But i really love the work youre doing. You gave me the confidence to reflow my gpu chip cause i didnt have display and it worked, i mean i blew up a capcitor in the process and it doesnt really effect performance but my gpu is running like it did out of the box.

hi eli, what temps do you use and airflow for this gpus, i cant desolder some components. Thank you and great videos

[@johnnybegood8049]

Cool to see another of your video

[@mrdr9534]

Thanks for another great video, it's great to see how "easy" it can be for someone who knows how stuff works :) One question though, had it been possible to "flash the bios" while on the card, or is that not possible even if the chip is OK ? Or was the bios chip "destroyed" so that You had to replace it with a functioning one ? Best regards. ((P.S. I believe the card in the video is one of the "original Titans" (GK110) with 6GB VRAM... if I'm not mistaken ;))

[@yousefalzaabi7294]

Great fix i do have 2 Titan black and i replace the thermal for both of them one card works perfectly after clean etc, the second not detected and no signal at all i cant even flash bios of unstill driver or do anything actully totally not working ,the fan is spinning normal light power seems fine, any help will be highly appreciated.

[@alchinov1]

you are the man, bro!

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

Eli, first thing I would do if it were mine is get a morpheous after market cooler.

[@pawel23467]

Hi can you give me type of your flash device and the holder for the bios chip

UrokLizard yes exactly and it’s fixed. Other one still in process, but this week will let you know either way. So you should expect your cards shortly. Thank you for your patience!!! You are very good customer.

[@fenssettjd3454]

How to contact Elitech because i don't have one but two not working graphics card that let me giving up in gaming.

[@arrazolaj]

Would you be able to fix a TItan Z that I have with same issue. Powers on but no video out. Please let me know thanks.

[@knucklesammich6313]

I have a video card that doesn't load video drivers, when i install video drivers it will then BSOD then it will keep rebooting until i go into safemode and uninstall drivers.

[@Crettybocker427]

so the driver come with a bit of solder on the ends already ???? always wondered how that works

[@MargaritaFranky]

Very nice. Good job as always.

[@thanatosor]

Will be back once my Titan.. Fall

[@HSmasteryoda]

Where do you reference for your ohms and voltage readings? How do you know what is good and bad ohms?

[@TengoReuma]

I have a R9 280X that doesnt give out image, do you follow any kind of schematics for testing or Knowing where to check voltages and resistances? or there is a semi-universal method?

[@thanatosor]

Lesson that they never learn : OC their VGA for some extras without proper thermal solution

[@jasonspans]

I have exact the same gpu but it has a other problem, at the 5v phase i get a straight short when checking resistance. And if i turn on the gpu i hear a buzzing sound from that area. Do you have any clue what the problem could be?

[@RidvanKahveci]

Mine card giving 2a post code, what is this. Which where to look for faulty on graphic card?

[@mogs2006ok]

Great video, I'm having an issue with identifying a component on a 1660 xc, is it possible to send you a photo for help?

[@adrianandy5878]

This is definitely one of the easy type of repairs when there is no video signal. Usually you'll need to reball the card.

[@rydelldark]

Reballing does nothing.. if the main chip is dead.. is dead..

[@pawel23467]

Hi I also have one titan x with fan not working I buy replacement but the new one also don't work, do you have a hint for me where I have to search on pcb and where and what component.

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

Oh another thing. With your bios recode, couldn't you have reset the bios back to factory? I mean for the warrenty. Or does it show up in the clocks?

[@Devil-fd1ff]

Reflashing GTX 950 made it working again.

[@JR-zw2vb]

Just wow.

[@Murlock2000]

So how do i send a dead card in ? there is no information on the channel at all

Great video mate... I have a titan X Maxwell and it's not desame like this one...i have problem whit one place for MOSFET How can I send u a picture to tell me what can I do? Can I send u a picture?

[@illium9442]

Hi Elia-Tech, great video thanks! I had a PC about 5yrs old with 2 x GTX Titans (in Sli), when I powered it up recently it worked ok. Then 1hr later , no display & all fans going full speed! I worked out my primary Titan was faulty, when I pulled it apart I noticed one of the SiC780 chips was faulty (clear evidence of over heating). I'm trying to remove it with my SMD hot air-gun but no luck! I'm assuming it's because the bottom of the chip also has pads which are soldered to a ground or power plane. Do you have any advice on how to (safely) remove/replace it? I'm guessing I'll need to heat the bottom of the PCB at the same time? Is there anyway to private message you?

[@dkconceptz6055]

I have a titan x Pascal that suddenly stopped working as soon as i went into a game can you help

[@MaxMustermann]

But isn't this a Titan (without X)? Good video though!

[@TheRailroad99]

It is! GK110 chip means Kepler. Titan - Kepler Titan Black - Kepler Gen 2 Titan Z - Kepler Gen 2 Dual GPU Titan X - Maxwell Titan X Pascal - Pascal "Gen 1" (better 1080 non-Ti) Titan Xp - Pascal "Gen 2" (better 1080Ti)

[@DigBipper188]

Yep. The Titan X is a Maxwell generation GPU and has a black cooler shroud. The original Titan is a Kepler generation GPU with a silver shroud. Exactly like the GPU in the video. Also, the chip code matches a GK110 A1 stepping, which is a Kepler Titan / GTX 780Ti chip. For reference: The original Titan chip code is GK110 The Titan X chip code is GM200 NVidia's post Kepler chip naming scheme is as follows: Much like Kepler's naming scheme, all modern NVidia GPUs have a 2 letter code denoting architecture. GM for Maxwell and TU for Turing alongside a 3 digit code denoting the performance tier. For example, TU102 would be a Turing chip form the upper mid tier, which just so happens to be an RTX 2080/2080Ti. A GM200 is a Maxwell chip of the high end/flagship, which was released in the Titan X. The GTX 980/980Ti, which was in the same generation as the Titan X, used a GM204 code, denoting a Maxwell architecture of the upper mid range. High end: x00 upper mid tier: x02, x04 lower mid tier: x06 Low tier: x08 Nowadays for the current NVidia GPUs, we never see the x00 silicon like we did in Kepler and Maxwell, as it ends up either unreleased or released as high end server/workstation hardware. We do however see the x02 silicon being used for "high end" GPUs like the RTX 2080Ti and RTX Titan (soon to be released).

[@ColBecket]

it seems i have short in resistor you checked at 1:34 - any idea which component may be faulty? i cant see any burning marks etc

[@ColBecket]

it seems all resistors works - but still doesnt boot Did your Titan was detected in bios before You flash GPU BIOS?

[@shanestrickland7234]

I have a ? I have a nividia gtx980ti founders edition it has the same board as the titan and numerous others.. its the one with the 5 caps with one staggered so there not In a straight line. im a great car/truck mechanic very good at diagnostic on the system and understanding how they work its all D/C... im dabbling in repairing small electronics due to no work.... my son bought this card it has 12 volts and had 5.012volts on one side of the the small inductor on molex side plugs opposite end of vid outputs .....it shows 5.036.V on SIDE closest to mobo ... on the side facing the gpu 8 & 6 pin molex psu plugs it shows -7.023volts?????????... I found a apl3516a switch that is only getting 2.07v on input side and 0v output side so I went to probing and popped a 0,ohm resistor I finally got proper leads desoldered the resistors jumped them with solder got fans and lights working again...the card don't show up in the bios of my mobo or in windows system. No video output everything looks OK no hot spots the chip gets hot upon start up its getting same voltage out of the inductors @0.087 V the 3.3 v side is getting 3.3 in and out on the other apl3516a just above the one that is getting only 2.07v and nothing out the location of those switches are directly behind the top 2 of the 4 hdmi & pci output plugs bellow the multiple card plug next to bios chip i think . Sorry for writing you a book I subscribed and like all videos also recommended others to sub and like ur vids if u have any suggestions please let me know also where does that apl3516a get its power from ... these SMD pc boards ar amazing with there tech im waiting on parts and a rework station wit air & a new t12 iron

Eli: Let's rewrite the bios What Eli does: *actually changing the bios chip on the pcb*

[@androxilogin]

Well no, he took it off the board, popped it in n SOIC adapter attached to a programmer. Which is how you would do that.

[@loko1505]

@@androxilogin Hi, where can i buy that adapter? And the programme he use? Thanks mate

[@androxilogin]

@@loko1505 just search SOIC8 on eBay for the adapter (a couple bucks). The programmer, well that's questionable. You can get a PICKit3 for about $10. Just be sure to Google the chips for compatibility. The k150 was good for a large number of chips but that was years ago. Not sure if they kept it up to date because apparently mine had a knock off chip installed.

I didn’t understand a detail: if i have all resistances normal, voltages normal, it is most probably a BIOS problem right? When is it a reballing problem istead? No vcore?

[@DanielMarinescu]

Hi, did you find a solution?

[@julescircuits845]

it is never a reballing problem, reballing causes heat to build up in the silicon, which reconnects connections on the silicon chip itself not the bga, if reballing temporarily fixes a card you really need a new gpu, and good luck finding that chip.
