yes fr

[@mariopic]

ya bump in video quality or more customer repairs should push up views

[@JuliusLC]

I have 2 rx570 with this simptom. I was suspecting the PCI express wasn't working, this is a good place to start from on my next break from covid fighting as a technician inside this hospital. Hope & illusion is what pushes the world ahead. Thanks! I'll try to post as soon as I can disassemble those cards and check this.

[@ryomario90]

I wish I had the knowledge you possess, as a nerd myself I value this knowledge more than any other knowledge. Hats off to you.

[@CMDRBlueeagle66]

The UK needs guys like you. Amazing.

[@alexa3389]

Eli can u please show where exactly the voltage testing points closely, the 12, 5 and 3 volts

[@adrianandy5878]

YES! We have picture!

[@RODEO-sn6du]

BIG FAN BRO. You definitely know what you are doing. Could you please make a video showing the rest of us the basic procedures of diagnosing and how to identify which components/circuits to test (i.e.drivers,fuses,etc etc. )and acceptable ranges

[@PAULHODARA]

Unbelievable this actually worked!!! I had an Asus RX580 that would reliably fail 20 minutes after power up. I removed heat sink and fan assembly, cleaned off heat transfer grease from GPU, then heated the board up with my heat gun. I slowly heated the whole board to about 170c then heated the vram chips and GPU to between 187-200c for about five minutes. I used an infrared thermometer to monitor temperatures. After letting it cool I applied fresh grease re-assembled and powered up. I have been running GPU benchmarks for 2hrs and board is working perfectly. Thanks!

[@secondfirst7789]

And how is the card doing right now? Still running perfectly?

[@yassinbakady8474]

Nice video as usual. Could you make a video on how basics of diagnosing please?

[@andrefernandes2336]

Hello Eli, Im starting repair graphic cards and your vídeos are an inspiration, you are the best you explained the repairs very well.

[@MiroslavPavkovic]

I love how gentle you are with the hardware! When I touch my stuff, I'm scared I'll short it out or simply remove a resistor or something from it :D

[@kamikazekk-df4vz]

Hey Eli, all we know you stopped to do repair gpu vid etc...etc...., but I ask and hope all is fine. Thank you anyway for all this work and the fixing vid tricks we all can find in your channel. I really hope you're fine, all the best for you and your family. Daniel from Italy.

[@Elendalar]

Except from the anoying music loudness during soldering, its a very good vid. Solid error finding and nice repair

[@nadezhdasaleh6041]

Can tell from start this is a pro at work. I checked your location and it shows you are in United States. How unlucky for me, coz i got 2 brand new RX 570 and RX 580 that simply refuse to work and i bet you could fix em in a blink of an eye.

[@bozsikandor]

I just lost my sapphire r9 390 nitro and came here for advice I love your videos and I hope one of them will help me fix mine subscribed

I forget how butifull was windows 7. Thanks for the video, it was so instructive.

[@retoxdafreak9033]

Hi Eli, I'm from germany and was looking for a video about repairing a RX570/580. My 570 died last week and I wondered if you could have a look? I like the idea of things beeing repaired and not thrown away even if it is economically nonsense. I would like to send you my card, if is not repairable I glady would like to give it to you for your "substitution needs". Great video btw, I really admire your profound knowledge of electronics ;-) Best wishes ...retox

[@frederikmoeller88]

Just saw three of your videos. I am amazed at your skill level. Keep up the great videos

[@jorgeivanportillo]

Hi Eli, Excellent video I'm sure your teaching alot of people who have the skill to try what your doing in your channel and yes i do believe you should have more view since many people can learn a thing or two from your skills, now I'm such a fan of all your videos posted from time ago! BUT I have a RX 590 Fatboy which I'd love to send you to make a video of and see if your able to repair it.

[@infopackrat]

You should make a channel where you teach this in more depth. Like EEVblog but more geared to repair. Theory where applicable like how these power circuits work. I'd subscribe. I'm amazed you know what to look for and where. How did you learn this stuff? You're a wizard with this stuff.

[@unsivilaudio]

You are a bloody wizard. :) I have a dead 580 Nitro SE as well, I would love to see if it can be repaired.

[@joepastillas]

Hey sup yo! Ive been learning a lot in yuour videos... only wanna to say thanks for all your good work!

[@ruskynrosario7571]

Yo creia que los magos se habian extinguido, pero al ver este video me di cuenta que aun estan entre nosotros, porque usted hiso magia. Hay que hacerle el saludo.

[@crazycraigy01]

A guy on Ebay sells failed cards from Rx 550 up to Gtx 2080ti, theres gotts be good money in it...I'd like to have studied electronics, the smell of flux and solder...and with I.T and Gaming it's huge economy...non stop work...luv ur MM and diagonstic tests...😀👍

[@8iosatlost209]

I am particularly impressed because I think your view a little opened to get, when i´m watching your videos. that will certainly be the goal of the whole and that is certainly a great talent, or a great gift of yours. I think this is something that cannot be learned by the normal pc-hardware nerd.

[@kenhitchcock4075]

You really know your shit dude, couldnt stop watching, very interested to see how you repair other defects.

[@f1lab535]

What is the name of that component you replaced? I searched with the reference you stated but i was not able to find it

[@ohmygodooo]

Finally, you change a new multimeter for yourself.

[@xainevirus]

Please make video how to repair bad vram or artifacts card 🤗

[@deputybluevein93]

You can't fix it. Bad Vram is usually manufacturers fault

[@goharahmed2981]

Hi Eli, Love you channel and your work. May I ask how/where to start learning about Graphics card schematics ? can I ask for a video to explain how you learnt all this? Please.

[@JohnSmith-iu8cj]

Hey man, would be great, if you could explain more detailed, how you found which component had to be replaced. Thank you so much!

[@itzshowtime__4800]

i second this!

[@lucsl21]

Very god, I'm from Brazil, and I'm learning a lot from your videos.

[@gingersquatch9844]

Nice job, glad to see that you got that card working again!!

[@jasongates1723]

great video, i have the sapphire nitro plus rx 580 4gb, i dont suppose by any chance you have the backplate screws for one of these cards please

[@Wahabqamar]

I love this channel. Dont ever stop

[@koolako3228]

[@0010-d3w]

very awesome video , make more video about video card repairing

[@jaggerwild]

You should have 500K subs easily Eli, thank you for these video's!!!

[@xxeron]

Awesome, i am looking into repairing a card on my own. I love your videos.

[@tskraj3190]

This may sound fanboyish but from my own experience I personally never had a Radeon card die on me but I have had several Nvidia cards die on me. Maybe it's because Nvidia mass produces and sells more cards and there are bound to be issues? I don't know, but I haven't had great luck with them.

[@sylvainnurit9701]

Hello. Great thanks for your video. I'm experiencing another kind of problem (sorry for digging out this old video) with a RX 580 Armor 8Gb. I'm on a new computer (Aorus AX370 Gaming K7 with latest firmware, 900W PSU, 16gb DDR4, NVMe SSD drive, ...) running Windows 10 x64. The graphic card is a second hand (probably a mining card) and I've a "error 43" but a clean display without any artifacts (but no hardware acceleration). I swapped GPU firmware with one corresponding to memory chip on techpowerup but not solved the issue. Tried to uninstall driver / reinstall (different version... tried crimson version too... no better result). Tried pixel clock patcher... no more luck. I managed to make the card running one time on Ubuntu (played witcher 2 about 1 hour without any problem with ultra details) but no more after a computer reboot (the computer freeze on booting... black screen for a while and all fan running full throttle about 5 seconds before a reboot. maybe an UEFI issue ?). The MSI support doesn't give any more help for old graphic cards and have not issued the latest stock firmware for the card. Is anybody encountered the same problem ? Is there a solution (hardware component to check, software to install) ? The only "old" thing on my computer is the screen (not a 4K capable monitor). Can it be the origin of the problem ? Thanks for any help

[@MrCrystian11]

I have the same problem with an rx 580 armor 4 gb. Mine has weird problems aswell

[@tomscott7991]

Great channel for those of us who like to see how things work and sometimes don't work. And how to go about fixing them. I have an RX 580 (14 months old)that works fine till you start to load windows 10 then the fans stop video goes black. This started a few days ago after bios reported the card overheating. I disassembled the card found the heat pad's in incorrect positions and some folded over. What can I order as far as replacing the pads? Purchased some from Amazon but not sure if they are correct for this application. Also are their card-specific kits you can order or is it mostly DIY. When I was young we did like you tried to fix it ourselves, sometimes we succeded and other times we failed, but we learned something by doing it and not just buying a new one. I'm happy to see others with that same curiosity thank you, also how would I get this card to you if my efforts fail?

[@grana2796]

You have great skills. I want to do what you do. And be as good as you. What degree do you need to learn to repair computer parts? And I subscribed 😁

[@gabrielthecolorblindsoul6994]

Im subscribing. I need help, pls!!! So, my Asus rx 580 4GB, VRM got burned when i was on google chrome, not when i was playing. Before to send it to warranty it was automaticaly overclocking (by the driver) to 1430 Mhz and was maintaining it flawlesly. Now the drive is still overclocking it at 1430, but it crashes, it crashes even at 1380 Mhz, and I cant manually increase the voltage anymore. They've replaced 3 mosfets and a mosfet driver. I don,t exacly know how this voltage controler works, I'm a noob. The voltage fluctuates, i have a brand new PSU 600W, active, and nothing. How do i fix it? Can i find the origynal schematics? I think that they replaced the mosfet driver with the RX480 's one.

[@OnAnime10]

Hi Eli, first of all nice vídeo I'm a tech from Argentina and I'm having an issue with my Sapphire Rx 580 nitro plus, maybe you can give a me an advice of what can be the problem with it. When I put the card on the pci slot the motherboard doesn't power on. I've tried it with 4 motherboards and it goes the same with each one. All mother's work fine without the card pluged in, ¿ in this video when you put the card on your mother is power on ? If no, maybe a can do a step for step like you do to know if a regulator or a driver is in bad state. Thanks for your time and keep the good work :D

[@OnAnime10]

Again me, if a power the graphic card the ATX enter in protection mode. So I can't test any driver or regulator... :/

[@tombaron4360]

Thanks for these videos. You mention the PSU didn't go into defensive mode. What would that indicate if it did? My 580 is putting my PSU into defensive mode and shows a continuous red led on the card.

[@Jinzen]

Hello there, Great to see people repair electronic parts! I was looking for a replacement R68 inductor on mine rx570 (Asus Explorer 4gb) Do you have a some advice for me?

[@mgoonercorp1532]

hello I hope you are well I wish to get in touch with you to have some advice on how to handle the process of re-soldering components on pcb such as cg and motherboard to save the material rather than to recycle it please accepted my greetings and above all you are a genius

[@northernmonkeyplaystgames3121]

earned yourself a subcriber from the uk

[@valshin]

Thanks for the video! You said this 7103 LDO regulator powers clock generator, how did you find that?

[@mikelodeo5715]

Common Eli Don't stop making videos! keep it up!

[@amtpdb1]

I wish you would show more of what you are doing. You say we have 12 volts and the board is not in position to allow us to see what you are touching and how you decided that was the point to touch. You say you are checking the phases. How and where are you checking and what would tell you it was good and what says it is bad. How, where, and why do you check that. Thanks for the video.

[@nocrass]

Hello, im really happy you made this video because it might be the same problem im facing with my RX580 which do not power at all. 12V fuses have blown, but no short found, the core takes amps from the coils of the power stages but not right after the blown fuses. The situation for me is quite differente as i don't own a motherboard yet, i have a lab PSU and multimeter and i was wondering if it's enough to target the GS7103 as faulty, or even the NCP81022. Do the PCIE connections has to be feed as well during the process ? In my case, if i feed the 12V rail and bypass the fuse, i don't get output from the GS7103. Wish i found the guilty part.

[@DanielCardei]

quick question! 12v fuse near PCie its sorted 2 G. if inject 2V it eats near 3amps and chipset gets a little hot. get this i used the external PSU to start the card with 6-7 v and was stopping at 3 amps (internal protection) but the phase to GPU was ramping up to 0.6v the only thing was missing was Memory phase that was 0v.

[@TUDIU]

where you buy the parts to repair? nice video

[@paublusamericanus292]

thank goodness is was quicker than you were thinking, (me too), that way being tired was ok.

[@52fordf1]

Great video. Is there any way you could try and fix a quadro p1000? Need it for my low budget solidworks pc.

[@Saywhatohno]

Amazing video!! How do you know all the power readings for the card? Do you have a board blueprint?

[@Tayplayzz]

Hey nice vids I find myself watching you fix cards I don't even own lol. I have and rx580 that seems to power up gpu gets warm too but cannot get past post screen. no display whats so ever.. do you think its a bios issue?? I also have a rx470 I wouldn't mind sending you (for parts) its the sapphire nitro+ 4gbs. hopefully speak to you soon. Thanks !!!!

[@elitech3339]

mark nicholls thank you. Card for parts highly appreciated. Contact info you can find in About of this channel. Thanx About your rx 580. Check phases if it has all powers, if yes then try out bios.

[@robm1448]

Hi, I just admire the way you work.. I have the exact Same card, it works and shows video signal but the fan coolers and the led where says "sapphire" brand, are not working.. Any hints? I can't use it because it will get hot because of fans not working

[@KrisKraya25]

Superb bro👍👌🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟☕😊🙏 Thanks for your Genius creativity 👍👌🌟☕😊🙏

[@سیدحمیدرضاهاشمیموسوی]

Watching your video was useful for me. Thank you.

[@cybcarr]

Hi Eli! I have a sapphire card, and the fan controller part burning out even if the IC's and other parts needed to change were changed. 1st and 2nd attempt too. Do you think in my case is it because of this LDO regulator too? Or is it powering the GPU only? Thank you!

[@Crettybocker427]

nice work , we live in a throw away country its nice to see people learn . i have a 290x did the same thing can i send it ???? its the nice msi lightning

Hi @Eli Tech I have the exakt same card and i have a 12v "short" and fuses located at 8pin in is dead, is this card just to bin or do you have any ideas for me?

[@juanp4713]

Could u solve that ?

[@abeleski]

I love your videos. Keep it up. If I can make a suggestion please...slow down a bit and let our brains catch up with you. Maybe a video on the basics of video card repair such as the main components and what to look out for. That is if you are interested in teaching us or maybe that's not what your aim is. Spasibo

[@elitech3339]

abeleski definitely will do, need to find a bit more time. Nezashto (Your Welcome) !

[@abeleski]

@@elitech3339 looking forward to it.

[@alfredsturges9015]

I wonder if the paperclip trick we use to unbrick a GPU when the bios is bad would have allowed the card to boot in UEFI mode

[@BeetleJuice1980]

Can you show us in a future video how to identify the exact points for ohm measurement? Thank you

[@memyselfandi6422]

@Eli Tech - I don't know if you noticed or not but there seems to be a slight crack on your cell phone screen.

[@sathsayin]

I am half blind and stuck my pci express 1x riser adapter in wrong and i think it blew a pci express driver NO Fan NO LIGHT SAME THING . The first quesiton people ask is how ??? its slotted. weel the 1x mining adapters can be flipped are you can put it to far and put the back pice in the front part of hte slot and leave the front part over hanging not plugged into anything (exactly what i had done). So how much was the thingy you replaced? Can i send you my card an you look at hit how much to repair?

[@Joseluis-tf4in]

in short, could you tell where is the problem with the disappearance of the volts ? I find it difficult to follow you. Which is the function of that very LDO-regulator? The problem of failing to have 1.8volts in VRAM is due to this regulator?

[@ahmedmesbah3804]

Hi Eli, nice video. I have an RX570 NITRO+ that I feel it's broken. My PC always crashes because of wattman. I'm not sure if it is a driver issue or my gpu is broken. I'm sure you came across this issue before. Any advice? BTW, I have reinstalled the drivers with ddu and installed many windows versions and the problem is still there.

[@newbieloncat1]

I have a question, vga rx580 missing fuse on the 12volt pciexpress resulted in undetectable and vga fan dead. It could happen?

[@dra6o0n]

XFX RX 580 I got has problems as well and I wonder if it's simply thermal pad and paste that needs replacing (It runs, it just crashes the PC if the GPU seems to ramp up usage, via BSOD). I never got around to actually trying to fix it because I don't use that GPU anymore (Asus Strix Vega 56 user here, I gave my Nitro+ 580 to my brother, and the old Intel i5 2500 system is using a 470 since it has 500 Watt PSU.

[@sledillac34]

What is the Post Code Card you are using and where did you get that one? I haven’t been able to find one like it. Thank you

[@mikeloto21]

Hey men I have a similar car (rx 570) wit a similar problem, I was wondering if you offer gpu services to fixt it? thank you

Hello Eli, great videos nobody has this videos on internet. great work. i have a radeon r290 it is showing green lines and artifacts on windows. how can i send it to you. tthank you.

[@jorgeg.2331]

My congratulations... Can I ask you for some help... I bought a 2nd hand RX580, I run it 1st time all perfect and I decided to change the Thermal Paste and Clean it, because it was really really dirty... also with some oxid. It runs perfect... but I have a problem if I leave the graphic card some hours power off, I need to give some hot air to make it start up. After that hot air it starts and I can leave it without any problem hours and hours...

[@indibil]

Hi, can you guide me? Let's see what your intuition says. I have a Sapphire RX 570 NITRO +. The fans rotate, but I have no image for any port. The mother's don't beep sounds with all wires connected. If I disconnect 8pin power, 5 beeps sound. What do you think which component may fail? Thank you

[@nikiki69]

Hi, GOOD JOB! I have a question: is possible replace ram chips for upgrade a 4GB card to 8GB card?

[@alexisxyz7531]

Hello I have an MSI R9 380 it works just fine, never crashed, no overheat fans spin normally BUT only outputs video through DVI I and DVI D ports no displayport nor hdmi port. How could I fix it or what may be the cause of this?

hi. can you tell me how do you know how much volts/ohm should be on each piece?

[@AlexandarCorbic]

Man a I know this video is more than 2 years old but still the best video of diagnostic of a GPU. I have a problem with Sapphire RX570, fans are spinning but no image :-( win 10 recognises the card but gives code 43 error. both BIOS 's are working, I tried to reflash both of them and it worked but stil no image. Checked the fuses with multimeter and all 3 are OK. If you see this please give me some advice.

[@AlexandarCorbic]

I also tried reinstalling drivers with no luck. I have tried another GPU SAPHIRE RX 590 and it's working perfectly with same drivers.

[@mltbs1]

Hi Eli, any idea on how to fix “UVD not responding, trying to reset the VCPU” error for rx500 cards? Not sure if it is Bc of hw or sw but I figured you might know. Take care!

[@yanuk818]

Hi Eli! I have a same card that works but the fan isn't spinning. It spins like a few rotations once in a while but the card will over heat after that. Is there a mosfet to replace?

[@yanuk818]

Mostly the fan blades just shake a bit and doesn't spins
