Sapphire RX 580 Pulse Graphics Card Repair - Not Detected

[@TD1S3]

Finally pulled my old RX580 out and low and be hold the same capacitor was shorted. Thanks for the vid.

[@fauzitechno]

hey thank you for the video. i have almost the same problem on my rx580 nitro+, but its in pin 51 & 52 , (vdd and vss) and all resistor and capacitor on that pin too. i want to know the value of capacitor and that resistor. is it the same value as your video? as i dont have any working nitro / sapphire on me. thankyou

[@6DAMMK9]

Congrats on fixing a Sapphire card without the common "blown MOSFET" issue.

[@androsk]

great videos as always, might i ask a question, what can be wrong with a powercolor 5500xt that always on 20mhz on core and 100mhz on ram, clocks wont boost, not a driver issue.

[@tyronewestley8819]

Check the bios version and update it

[@androsk]

@@tyronewestley8819 forgot to mention, it the first I did, 3 different BIOS

[@faniedalgleish3044]

thanx for the lessons James have one question if the 3.3 and 12v rail at the fuse of pci have short where do i go?

[@husainaa5837]

can i ask what is the capacitor value that related with the fan in mr200 code?

[@cryptocloset101]

I would love to see a MSI Armor RX 580 layout repair not detected and no display

[@diacomservice]

This is actually a problem with these models. Thank for video

[@AmdUlkoinen]

I have a Dell Vostro 2520 that no longer boots because of a failed bios update, it just got stuck on the Windows 7 "applying update 1/1 for an hour, and I thought it was just a stuck Windows update, and not the bios update. What can I do to fix that laptop? I don't realy need it and neither does my father, who stopped using it over 2 years ago, but it would be nice to get it running again.

[@pigrond]

i hope i get to see my card repaired, nice work quick and efficient.

[@carlostomedesousa5508]

I'm from Brazil, I noticed an rx 580 with the same defect, thanks to your video, thank you very much

[@aleksandardzoroski7769]

Is the discord server still available i cant find the invite link

[@nocrass]

hello, i actually have the same problem as no VCore voltage, the double top right fuses on the 12V have blown but no short and also no short on the caps around NCP81022. Is VSS and VDD shorted on this chip is something normal ? Also, to check voltages do i need to feed 12V bus and 3.3V rail from PCIE express ? i don't have mobo.

[@rafaelmiranda083]

I have an rx580 pulse without Vcore, and it has a 2 homs short between VSS and VDD even after removing the ncp81022 pwm , Did you find what the defect was ??

[@rafaelmiranda083]

​@@nocrassHere there is also a logic port that is not receiving the signal (A) so it does not activate, this logic port goes to pin 1 of the pwm (ncp81022) is (powerOK), but I have a low resistance of 2 homs between pin 51 (VDD ) and 52 (VSS), I think this low resistance is not normal because I removed the ncp81022 and it still had 2 homs on the board, and on the ncp81022 there is 200 homs between VDD and VSS, the board has all voltages except Vcore

[@GlishaSo]

Hey love your videos! one question which is that microscope camera you use ? Tnx!

[@DiCG47]

Keep it up! A lot of people are going to be glad that you are fixing cards! Are you open for motherboards too?

[@TechCemetery]

Yep, I actually have a motherboard repair video coming soon.

[@ladbla1752]

Thnaks for the video. What temperature and airflow do you use when desoldering/soldering parts on graphics cards?

[@babymantuck3256]

good question

[@waldemarb.7834]

Hello. Thanks for your videos. I have here a RX580 and all voltages are present and the GPU get warm but no picture. What do you think it can be?

[@keithchiang6874]

Hi James, I have the same card same problem, except my PWM controller VCC output is only 1.4V. Can you guide me which 1 should i check next?

[@baghdadiabdellatif1581]

Thank you James. I always learn something.

[@Hoobeal]

Hi ! excelent video i have the same graphic card and the same problem, but when i get to the last resistance it dosnt go in short, so what should i look next? please help me!

[@brettwatty101]

Awesome I have 8 of the same bord layouts as that but they are RX470 mining. Great video. Thanks

[@kazim.karabacak]

Hello, what type motherboard do you use for diagnosing? I need cheap one. Is there any type will recommend to diagnose.

[@XxmatixX6videosdiariosdenadav]

Whatever you can find that's not too old. I personally use an Athlon II x3 440 on an asus board. Cheap enough that I don't worry about it. Good enough to use and test

[@randyleonelectronica7157]

Buen video profe tu tendrás el boardwie de esa tarjeta plis

[@ciclotimercury1981]

gracias por compartir esa experiencia. Saludos desde Colombia

[@fauzhi1719]

Excuse me, Sir. I want to ask about my vga rx 580, for some reason my vga can enter the bios, but when it enters windows it has no signal. thanks sir.

[@bcrazygaming9056]

Do you have any discord server or some thing bcz i wanna discuss this with you and i have necessary tools to fix it

[@TechCemetery]

I only have a paid advice section in my discord and that's not going to change any time soon.

[@qewadszcx11]

whats ur hot air setting? Im surprise the cap didnt explode

[@TechCemetery]

932*F/120L air, I typically heat the board a bit away from the cap before trying to remove the component I want.

[@ahmeddesouky181]

Thank you , You're so informative. ♥

[@mr_froggie]

Sorry I don't fully understand how you work/film. So if I sent you my RX 580 Sapphire that you worked on already in a different video, would you also work on mine? Sorry for the stupid question 😀

[@kikihun9726]

What temp and airflow are you using to remove the pwm controller?

[@TechCemetery]

I typically use 932*F, 120L/min

[@kikihun9726]

thanks.😉

[@HandOfThemis]

@@kikihun9726 How much did he charge you to ask this question? Or haven't you gotten the invoice yet?

[@kikihun9726]

Pardon?

[@HandOfThemis]

@KiKi_HUN I was just poking fun at the idiocy of Tech Cemetery's meltdown towards Louis Rossman over "free education". Tech Cemetery is simultaneously against free education, whilst building a KZbin channel centered around just that. His time isn't free, y'know?

[@boy230710]

Hello techcemetary i ned big help on a sapphire nitro rx 580 4gb i have no 1.8v out or pex or memory controller but wait for it i have 0.9v on vcore and memory is 1.38v i no i shouldnt because other rails need to start first any ideas or help would be great excellent videos by the way.

[@bcrazygaming9056]

Hey i have a weird GTX1050Ti Zotac mini some time its runs games all day no problem at all but if i restarted the system or next day boot the system its not detected by my system.

[@antssaar863]

Damn, so lucky I hapened to find one of Your vids. Past 2 days learned a lot watching and now I have hope I can resurect My evga 1080ti (seems like dead bios chip). Ty so much!

[@antssaar863]

Happy go lucky lol. GF 1060 6gb, mats shows 2 faulty memory moduls. Both complete duds B0 and C0. As it was not worth getting new moduls.. I did a test and reflow on 2 offending chips.. Card with no picture.. after reflow.. at moment using it :) Mats - 0 errors. Next will try same on evga 1080ti with 3 dead moduls, thou I doupt I get that lucky :)

[@skmdfaysalislam1259]

hello i have rx580 8gb i accidently tried to update the bios ... i slushed the chipset chip by mistake any way to repair?

[@accurian148]

A sapphire pulse cards that isn't a shorted drmos, kinda rare to see.

[@haydn-db8z]

Yeah, the DrMOS is what died on my Sapphire Nitro RX 470. I didn't have skills to desolder/solder the part, so I removed the corresponding inductor and the card works great on three out of four power phases. It was a fun project that can be found on the Internet as "RX 470 Zombie Edition."

[@accurian148]

@@haydn-db8z 470 and 480 nitro+ are well known to have the crappy crap ir3553m unlike the 500 series nitro+ On my own 480 i swapped all ir3553m with the beefier ir3550m The thing here is even though sapphire pulse cards use sic632 or fdmf3035 they tends to have a shorted drmos unlike the 500 series nitro+

[@accurian148]

There are actually some 400 series nitro+ which use ir3550m or ir3575m but it's quite rare and so far since i did graphics cards repair I've seen only twice

[@haydn-db8z]

@@accurian148 Mine uses the fdmf3035, and that's the part I couldn't replace with my limited skills. The card might be a Pulse instead of a Nitro for all I know, even though the fans say "Nitro." I was a mining card and could have had its HSF swapped. After deleting the dead power phase, I had to edit the vBIOS to basically ignore power limits the card thought it was using over 300 Watts when it wasn't. 😀

[@accurian148]

@@haydn-db8z oh it's the nitro without +, yes basically the same PCB as the pulse one

Hey, ur content is great so i had to subscribe, wouldnt be faster to just use thermal camera ? I know point of the video is to explain different steps, just asking if thermal camera would help me find these shorts faster or if its not worth it, thanks.

Awesome video once again 🤩🤯! It’s great to see that often a simple capacitor / resistor etc can be at fault and with the right knowledge can be fairly easy to track down the fault and a straight forward repair rather than the item ending up in landfill unnecessarily. Great work 🤯🤩🥳😉
