Is Northwest Repair Honest?

[@northwestrepair]

Comment section shows too much love for such a small man 🙃

[@DouglasThompson]

And you didn't like my video title... ;)

[@MM-vs2et]

He's a wacky guy but he's definitely honest

[@DouglasThompson]

Good to hear

[@C0smicr3aper]

Tony is one of the best in the business. Wish more techs were as honest and as knowledgeable as he is. Ive learned a lot abou gpu repairs just from watching his videos.

[@DouglasThompson]

That's what youtube is great for, you can show support and learn at the same time.

[@george8920]

One of the hardest things in the world is to find a talented honest repairman

[@DouglasThompson]

@george8920 agreed. It's hard to trust people that fix things for some reason...lol

[@Laggyness]

Tony repaired my Gigabyte Vision OC 3090. There is a video on his page but its from earlier in the year. There was a blown mosfet and some fuses. Been about 10 months or more now and the card is still functioning great even with a mild overclock. He's definitely good at what he does and I can definitely recommend him.

[@DouglasThompson]

@@Laggyness great to hear he has a reputation for good work and honesty.

[@nathenate7974]

Seems honest and affordable. Also seems like he exhausts his options when trying to fix something. Fully checks every rabbit hole he finds. Those are admirable qualities in ANY repair person. Too few like him.

[@DouglasThompson]

@nathenate7974 yes, he had decided there was no issue and contacted me and I agreed to have him send it back and he told me to hold off and that he was going to check a couple things he thought of and asked me more questions trying to figure out if it was a hidden issue.

[@nathenate7974]

@DouglasThompson Top notch GPU repairman. Interesting to watch and get his opinion on different cards and brands build quality too. For someone that specialized in something to run a business, that's not trying to gut people financially, is rewarding in itself. He deserves our support.

[@stevehyde7431]

good vid mate,i really dig his content.he shows his mistakes like a true man,admits his limits,teaches us lots and isnt annoying like the rest.cheers

[@DouglasThompson]

@@stevehyde7431 good assessment!

[@ahmetkipkip]

I'm binge watching him for 2 weeks. He is honest guy. Props to Tony.

[@DouglasThompson]

Nice to hear!

[@miguelfernandez2325]

Tony is the best at what he does.

[@DouglasThompson]

@miguelfernandez2325 yeah, he's a good guy. He could have really taken advantage of me and I wouldn't have known.

[@randomized4368]

He's the best. Also he shares everything with everybody when other's won't even answer simplest question.

[@DouglasThompson]

Agreed, i asked him questions and he was an open book.

[@YsMining]

i watch all his vids and thought he Sounded honest and now i have more clearity. Thanx Wow, this is 5 months old.. no matter.

[@DouglasThompson]

It's still good info! :) thank you for commenting!

[@MrKevin920]

I love it when he makes fun of northridgefix 😂

[@DouglasThompson]

Lol

[@Nontheistzero]

I enjoy his channel too. I haven't had need to send any parts for repair but if I did, I wouldn't hesitate to try to get NWR to attempt the fix.

[@mclovin-sc7vj]

ive tried hes a dick

[@DouglasThompson]

@@Nontheistzero ya, kinda some asmr vibes.

[@sapperdeflap]

I'm into the microsoldering business so i had a lot of interest in Tony's repair video's because of that. And there's no one more knowledgably about the subject than Tony AFAIK.

[@DouglasThompson]

@@sapperdeflap seems like an accurate statement :)

[@whoknows7513]

Plus, he has Rock and Roll cats!

[@GuppyMilk334]

I have been watching NWR videos for long time and he is by far best GPU repairer that I have seen. Which card did you choose to keep?

[@DouglasThompson]

I have a video coming out tomorrow about that very topic, so I will let you guess! :)

[@miguelfernandez2325]

I couldn't agree with you more about Norwest Repair. He is by far the best tech for gpu's in North America.

[@DouglasThompson]

I think you may be right!

[@rocketbunny2k24]

Been watching Tony for awhile and I learned a lil bit of what he does. It's just that I don't have the tools to apply those learnings to myself in action.

[@DouglasThompson]

@@rocketbunny2k24 ya having the tools is a big part

I hope Tony's thinking about some apprentices soon

[@DouglasThompson]

@@halflife352011 are his wait times getting longer?

[@stevejones4618]

I wouldn't have any issue sending something to Tony if I was Stateside - the lengths he goes to to fix shit is way beyond most (looking at you Northridge Fix). I mean shit - there's probably a video of the repair on his channel so you can probably watch him diagnose it. Just sounds you were unlucky to get a card that wasn't a straight forward resolution.

[@DouglasThompson]

@stevejones4618 i still don't know why my card wouldn't turn any monitors on...until after he sent it back. Lol maybe him just touching it with his golden fingers.

[@Hossimo]

EVGA not said as E-V-G-A is weird.

[@DouglasThompson]

My apologies

[@Hossimo]

@DouglasThompson it's all good just caught me off guard. I watch Tony religiously and he does sound like a great business man.

[@DouglasThompson]

@Hossimo ya i agree!

[@gamingfromjohnwayne]

If u have apu or igpu u can put hdmi in motherboard and if it's ur gpu that will let u know cause if it is u get a picture.

[@DouglasThompson]

Ya i didn't have one that would output an image from my testing.

[@gamingfromjohnwayne]

@DouglasThompson sometimes we don't know till we know, u know lol

[@DouglasThompson]

I wish it did, that would have really helped me out! Lol

[@depralexcrimson]

Northwest is a nice man but nobody will risk their reputation over lying about a couple hundred bucks... That's basically his entire revenue + youtube, if someone sent a perfectly fine card and received a quote of 500$ they would just make a video about it "NorthWest Is not who you think he is!" and he's sold his entire image over 300$ nobody will do that, unless they're really really stupid.

[@DouglasThompson]

@depralexcrimson that's a good point but I have still had auto mechanics and plumbers and electricians etc. Tell me I need something repaired or replaced when I know damn well that's not the case. I once replaced all my brakes, the rotors, pads, etc. And I went in for some other work and I was told "unfortunately, it looks like you brakes are worn down to the point of them being dangerous"...lol

[@depralexcrimson]

​@@DouglasThompson lol thats really funny it's what happened to me at the dentist last 2 times i went there LMAO I was in Italy and went to a family trusted doctor for holidays, they said nothing was wrong with my teeth, did X-RAY everything seems fine, I come back to the UK and I have a forced scheduled meeting 1 week later, they tell me I have 2 caries??? I'm in disbelief, they show me soem x-ray where basically there was prob some leftover from the breakfast in my mouth, trying to scare me that these are black spots so meaning it's 100% caries or rotting. I was in disbelief, so I take a quote and don't go back. Then these thieves, the nerve on them, I have 2 scheduled appointments at once in the same day 7 months later, 1 for just regular cleaning, and 1 for inspection, again, I get my teeth cleaned and forget about the second one and go home, they ring me, second day I come back and the guy forgot that I got them cleaned yesterday the dude is like "Everything looks fine but you should floss more, and maybe schedule an appointment to have your teeth cleaned". I WAS IN DISBELIEF, I told the doc "I got them done yesterday, maybe they did a poor job?" and mind you I didn't even eat anything outside two SALADS lmaooooooo. But these people have nothing to lose they will still get hundreds of thousands of clients a year, unlike northwest he has a very niche market.

[@maxdave9590]

Yah, let's say you got lucky on this one, and i can see you've got only one PC at your place, you could've tested the 3080 on another PC to make sure before sending it out for repair, nice to hear everything went out smoothly for you

[@DouglasThompson]

I had a friend with a pc but he didn't want me to put a broken part in his pc for fear of breaking something on his rig...lol

[@DouglasThompson]

I feel foolishness though...I have no idea why I couldn't get this gpu to work after the initial power down I experienced. Nothing worked. My monitors never received a signal, I tried every dp output and even the hdmi, couldn't get an image to display. Once it came back though everything worked...it's a mystery to me.

[@maxdave9590]

[@techluvin7691]

I hope you used DDU when u swapped cards. It will remove all traces of the Nvidia drivers. The 7900xtx is a very good card if configured properly. The 7900xtx will destroy the 3090.

[@DouglasThompson]

Correct, I did so. :) the 7900xtx is a great card in most instances. Just some little quirks here and there that need ironing out. But I like it. Unless I set my eyes on a 5090 or something crazy, this card is going to be hard to beat for the money.
