Unbelievable your able to repair such intricate tracing structures. Man you are amazing ! I was faced with socket damage on a Godlike Z690 LGA 1700 series. The CPU slipped out of hand and was dropped into the socket bending multiple pins. At least 40 pins was mashed in different locations. I was able to fix the pins using a burred medical needle as that was the finest point I could use as a tool. Hours spent resurrected the board and stress tested to ensure heat would not cause pins to lose connection. I thought I was pretty good until I seen this. Awesome work !

It blows my mind that you could do this much labor on a card and have it be worth it rather than just replacing the card. I would assume 10-15 years ago problems like this both didn't happen because of limited complexity at the time and were not worth it at all with the lower cost of the components at the time. But today, your GPU is 50% or more of your whole system.

Being able to do these repairs is about as impressive to me as watch-making - perhaps more so because watch-making/-repair doesn't involve having to deal with electronics. But in both cases it's near incredible to me that people are able to fix these things. And it's also a bit frustrating, since it highlights the fact that lots of stuff we simply throw away could be repaired and then still be used. Same with mechanical watches where some cheaper movements are cheaper to replace with a fresh one than having the old one serviced or repaired.

It is better to remove the pci-e safety pin if you had this kind of pin and hulk size gpu. Or mount your GPU vertical using riser. It is also pretty much a common knowledge to remove GPU if you plan to move your PC.

[@Fan-lq6uv]

Or use a computer case that orients motherboard so the PCIe slots are on top rather than on side or back. I have Thermaltake Tower 500, the video card just "hangs" off the slot so there's no unusual stress on the side of PCIe slot. But I do hate the PCIe locking lever, it's a pain in the butt to reach under fat GPU and reach the lever to release the video card. Those were fine back in the old day when video card were just single slot, the early PCIe cards and AGP cards.

[@AmigaWolf]

Yeah or lay the Case on it's side, then almost nothing can happen to the graphics card and the heatsink of your CPU. Never seen a graphics card that is so destroyed as what this one was, it looks to me that the case were the graphics card was in, has fallen from something on the ground, have had MANY graphics cards and never have had this, not even in my days i went to Lan party's.

Who ripped out a GPU out of it's socket like that as to rip off the retainer tab, tearing the circuitboard? I'm so glad to see someone able to go through so much to fix it.

Awesome work my friend my dad was a electronics engineer and he would amaze me with the stuff he would fix but your taking it to the next level of play it was a pleasure watching you work

Beautiful work! It's like the orchestra of repairs!

man that was insanely intricate and satisfying to watch.

I don’t think people understand or even realize the amount of dexterity and precision needed to re-ball modern components. I struggle HARD on 202 components with decent tools! Mad respect to you sir! The confidence in your skills to make the repair are second to none.

after getting a raid to start rebuilding itself after 3 hrs short rework, I find this calming... thank you again

[@RakeGrayFox]

Very impressive, such complicated problem, extremely mastered!

You sir are a professional, I've never seen such intricate work and detail. Kudos!
