graphics card repair gone wrong and now i have to fix it

[@giovanigomes7802]

14:37 there's the bug

[@northwestrepair]

LOL i cannot believe it got recorded. You are right. Slow it down and it will be very clear.

[@Onslaught2k3]

I see the little STINKER. Good catch!

[@soundspark]

@@Onslaught2k3 Stink bug?

@@soundspark yes

[@pinaclesendas5015]

So, there are guys that slow it at 1/4th and make this 15 min video a 1 hour one😂

[@Foxx_69]

I really Like the fact you just focus on repairs. No ads. No trying to sell rebranded Chinese tools. Just like they all used to be. Please dont change. Its nice to see somebody just fix stuff . You are one of the best on here imo.

[@biskwiq]

gotta give it to you sir u are so patience with these complicated repairs. u really deserve all the subs.

[@petrifiedhero9610]

Who's gpu's is he repairing, declined repairing mine and I offered to pay for it,

[@ItsNeverMe]

​@@petrifiedhero9610Some can't be repaired or it isn't worth it, or maybe there are just too many people sending in devices (like a lot if repair businesses on yt like northridgefix)

[@ba7134]

That must be the most expensive 2080ti on the planet. Nice repair man, your an artist!

[@RaneKun]

It's from HP 💀

[@Vo0d0o2009]

i not consider you as a technician , i consider you as an artist , i was allready amazed by what human can do ,, but after watching some 20 videos you desserve to be in the top 1 list , hi from quebec , canada !!

[@francoemmert7925]

Your patience and your diligence to get the job done is commendable. Take my like.

[@DaveRod831]

After watching this one, I had to subscribe. Keep up the great work.

[@werewolfmoney6602]

I noticed the bug in the sped up montage at 14:37 I don't see anybody in the comments talking about it I just wanted to let you know I laughed. This joke didn't go unnoticed and I appreciate you.

[@Yarogum]

да я тоже заметил єтого жука=)

[@ryanl890]

It's always fun watching your great repair videos man. Thanks for what you do. Talent, art and just amazing.

[@u9Nails]

"Not todaaaaaaay!" I love the edits in this video. It's reenforced your good sense of humor, and how much fun it must have been to fix that other guy's faux pas. "Sub" in flux while reballing the GPU was stealthy! I never heard of disabling the GPU audio interface. Darn near forgot that GPU's had an audio interface. I guess Brand-X GPU's forgot about that too.

[@zushikatetomotoshift1575]

[@De-M-oN]

And I even do need that Audio, because my Valve Index VR Headset needs it to be able to output audio to it's speakers

[@omisochi6989]

huge work bro

[@PAB-Elektronik]

I love how you make some humor out of your troubleshooting it's amazing what knowledge you have in fixing GPU's. I hope people understand how much time you put into making these videos You are the best m8

[@ArchaeanDragon]

Electronics hobbyist's ASMR.. those little solder balls so chaotic melting into perfectly aligned perfect little mirror spheres all at the same time is so .. cathartic and relaxing. :D When I first heard about BGA parts, I was like "how the hell can these ever be fixed?". Many years later, you make it seem like a dream. :)

[@sfarsitulumi]

I found this channel by accident and I love it

[@northwestrepair]

Great 👍

[@yanekdrzazga7529]

Your patience with this repairs is incredible. Great job!

[@lucidbarrier]

The Stranger Danger montage and the memory montage were beautifully done edits. I even liked the gaming video at the end and the outtro. You have a lot of skill both repairing and behind the keyboard in the editors seat.

[@jvandervyver]

+1 to this

[@TheBackyardChemist]

8:20 PTC means it is a Positive Temperature Coefficient thermistor, simply put resistance increases as temperature rises

[@TheBackyardChemist]

​@andrew_koala2974 rises is the correct word because electrons leave it becoming lighter

[@krypton1260]

The increase of resistance will continue until the operating temperature improves.

[@UnderRated-jw2ii]

Quality of your videos and your energy is incredible. Just keep it up and dont let your resistance change value.

[@NewoNZ]

I really love how you go beyond what is required of you when you see the need to. I'm currently having some issues with a card that I've left with a technician for repair as his first repair failed and I couldn't help but notice that he didn't even do the simple curtesy of blowing out the dust from the heat sync while he had the card fully disassembled. Thanks for continuing to make these videos for us all to enjoy.

[@SupraSav]

As a TIG welder I can appreciate the intricate work. Glad you have all the tools to make this wizardry happen. Good stuff

[@northwestrepair]

As an occasional tig welder, i can see where you coming from 😀

[@GTORazor]

This is one of the best videos yet!! The cameos from all the Meme, KZbin and Hollywood stars was amazing. Got a solid belly laugh a few times this go around! Bravo!

[@teddp]

What can I say to you Tony, seriously, only you could have fixed that card. Your dedication, your persistence and your skill is simply legendary man. I take my hat off for you Mr Wizard 👍

[@Xorat]

What a nightmare repair. Very well done sir!

[@iNubpwn3r]

It's an OEM card from a prebuild, so that's why there are few to none branding on it. Dell actually make good OEM GPUs, but this one isn't Dell I suppose. Btw, how long does it normally take to reball a core Tony? (without complications).

[@6DAMMK9]

hp oem. the build quality is actually good, at least in blower cards.

[@JCmeister9]

You can sometimes see in GPU-Z who the maker is just like on this one where it says HP on the subvendor @13:48

[@iNubpwn3r]

You're right, I watched it on my phone, so I didn't pause at the right moment. Thanks for pointing it out.

[@madaknevarski6478]

I'm loving your videos, not only do we get to see a magician at work but we get entertained with bits of silly humour. and the music is great too. outstanding.

[@sukhbatkhaltarsuhee5092]

Magic tech man doing some tech magic🔥🔥

[@kklum6998]

That is a thorough repair done only by the best electrician. Wish you are nearer to my country. There are too many wannabe electricians who give up easily or even steal parts. How do I know they steal parts? I will usually open up and check all parts and take photos before sending it for repairs. Very dishonest. Kudos

[@davechua4208]

watching you repair gpus is so interesting man. you are amazing

Tony, you are a Baller 1000%

[@trxscreed]

I commend your tenacity. Well done!

[@Zensaitv]

Yeah I knew it was the resistors they looked way outta wack and messed with glad you didn't have to much trouble I really was hoping the burnt crispy parts in the board weren't gonna be the culprit either.

[@borisdg]

Love your content man. :D So entertaining.

[@misterhoudi2824]

The memes in this video made me smile, thank you! Learned a lot and had ton of fun ❤

[@barbusbogdan7]

I admire this guy so much. So skillful. I don't know where to start with hardware repair as a newbie. I can only change basic stuff like thermal pads/paste, do memory tests etc. That's it...

[@tony359]

I am AMAZED and puzzled by this video! Amazed by your immense skills, the multiple-reball of ALL memory chips in one go was epic. The patience and persistence on this item is unbelievable. Puzzled because a 2080Ti sells for £350. You put a huge amount of work on that card which is also a no-brand. While it's absolutely fantastic that you managed to fix it, I wonder how much you can charge for such a repair! I don't meant to be rude or patronising in any ways, I'm just wondering how much profitable that can be. That said, this is an amazing video, thank you for that and well done! (and remember that Siglent has a web interface and VNC available! :) )

[@tuxr4z3r]

guessing: for the youtubes and viewers, who see the "magic" repairs and after watching something like this, its more likely to let their product repaired by him #marketing ;D

[@castle2k007]

Even watching the repair in fqst forward! I realized the insane amount of time it took you to go though all of this wow... Thanks for your time and for sharing and yes you do deserve my subs... And vwry original the way the subs and like were shown.... Keep up the good work!

One of the things I like most about this channel, besides learning how to repair a graphic, is the good sense of humor that our dear repair friend has here 😄

[@qo7ems]

I don’t leave comments a lot but you seem like such a genuine dude with fulfilling and oddly relaxing content. btw I love the beat drop on the cinematic lift off of the core lol

[@nerdypcbuilder]

i just did my first re-ball the other day on 1660 super and actually fixed it ! well.. the reason i'm telling you here is mainly cause of your videos an following these for a while now i decided to try on a friends card I was always most nervous doing re-balls but I finally did it So i appreciate all your videos man and helping me to get better at repairs

[@DomzyDX]

That is an OEM Card from a dell prebuilt machine.

you are a king of gpu repair.i still have 1 year left on my evga warreenty on my 3080 10 gig black lipped one 5 year.it musta been a binned one it just wont die ive overclocked beyond what it shoulda have taked it.ect.but as i speak it runs like a dream.if it dies ill send it to ya its never been opened

[@KainArkanos]

From experience, most cards at least up until the 3000 series, not sure for 4000, the four spring screws for the cooler mount were always done underneath the backplate. This is because technically from factory the backplates were an optional addition and not a necessity, and thus the spring pressures are set for NOT mounting through the backplate.

[@naomy1701]

and once again I learned something, thx 😅 aside from the entertainment value, that is what adds alot to the vid(s) for me 👍

I respect tony because he never give up , he always show his passion which reflects on his work. unlike Northridge fix who is nothing but a business man just another money machine. E-waste or green world or passion does not effect him over money. But tony has a good heart along with skill and tallent.

[@WellyngtonDev]

Awesome work, if I learn 50% what you know I can rest in peace.

[@cannondaleryder87]

I sent my RX 6800 away to be repaired only for the shop to keep my card for 3 months and send it back telling me they did not have the software to properly troubleshoot the card. Only thing that was done was a visual inspection of the card for cracks and burned components. Thankfully my wife just happened to be in his city for a business meeting and she picked it up. A waste of $50 in shipping and lots of time. Now I'm still looking for a reputable place here in the Philippines to get the card repaired.

[@zetsubou3704]

Did you send it to NorthRidgeFix lol 🤣 jk jk

You are underrated ong i wish i had repairing guys like you in my location where people dont rip parts and destroy the card😢

[@JaXXuSinc]

its so satisfying to see when the chips go to in to place when you reball them :D

[@Craft97pl]

Sometimes i wonder how the fuck some random technician who want to repair card mess that badly!! It's impossible to repairs card with such skills xD Sometimes in my repair work we have flowers like these to and still cant understand them.

[@kpakpatojournal1555]

Super work man! Super Job!👍👍💪

[@T.Lspitz]

Thats most likely a Dell GPU. They come without branding like that inside of Dell workstations and some alienware pc's. I have a 2070 super laying around somewhere that looks very similar that came from a Dell workstation. And I've seen dozens of similar models at work all coming from Dell.

[@bothellkenmore]

At 14:42 you can see GPU-Z ID's it a an HP 2080 Ti. Kind of the same thing as Dell though.

[@MarvMarshall]

I cannot believe it. This repair is unlike any I have ever seen before. It's truly unbelievable.

[@Mintor94]

I was surprised this card was able to output the image at all considering how many components on the PCB were missing.

[@f0x4nn3]

Who ever worked on this before never ever being let close to a soldering station again. Also this customer owns you a create of beer for your effort.

[@any_one_else]

U deserve all the best yr an artist

[@emp1985]

You basically re-fabricated the card! Hot damn, you're an electronic wizard no doubt. Respect.

[@jaroslavgalanskich9737]

the only thing left unchanged - greatness of master working

[@1Rictec]

i had to wait till the end to see it was a 2080TI that is EVIL northwestrepair!!!!

[@cvbattum]

What is mad is how much abuse these cards can put up with without actually breaking. You can run them with the resistors in the wrong places, run them with broken connections, shorts and then during repair heat it all up several times over and over. Sometimes you'll get broken chips but you can just replace them with another and its fine? Then you fix all the issues and everything runs as id the card was never touched. I'd always thought of these cards and other conputer electronics as extremely fragile. One short while powered would fry every chip on the power rail, one diy transistor repair with the wrong value and it's straight to the e-waste bin. But actually, it's just a matter of fixing the issue and everything is fine? So crazy.

[@ardaoe]
