The only 4090 that would survive this is MSI

[@mrg2039]

These multi layer repairs are fascinating. And you make it look so easy. I've repairing pcbs for decades, but never attempted something like that. Absolutely great job!

[@MrEnyecz]

There was a hole in the board! Incredible, I agree.

[@thomastoseland7113]

Don't be so sure about this, I had a laptop that got over heated with normal usage, no over clocking after only 2 years at most. When I looked inside it it was burnt, around the CPU socket. My gigabyte and Asus GPU cards on the other hand, usually outlast their usefulness.

[@pseudomemes5267]

He really is fearless in the way he gets in there with a dremel. Only to carefully repair the cut traces using tiny bodge wires

[@danytoob]

It's so remarkable that Tony does a better job explaining the repair process at double speed than other electronic wizards here on The Tube can do a normal speed. Tony must be plugged into high voltage.

[@myne00]

He mostly fast forwards the boring bits. Probably because his language would be blocked anyway ;p

[@kurohyuki5912]

He's overclocked for sure. Must be running on liquid nitrogen.

[@somewaresim]

You’re awesome Tony. Hope you are recovering well from your accident. Stay safe.

[@MasterJediSean]

Nice fix Tony! Awesome. Another happy customer. Cheers!

[@northwestrepair]

Thanks 👍

[@mintfresh6547]

Your videos got me into soldering as a hobby. Cheers. I just replaced my mouse switches after it started double clicking. I know its an easy job but you got to start somewhere

[@JacksonPhixesPhones]

Did I just see you put PTM7950 on the core of that card? Thought I saw you cut some out of a sheet. I really like that stuff, it's excellent on thermally problematic devices (especially extremely thin laptops). BTW, anyone using PTM7950, I recently learned a neat trick: stick it in the freezer ~15 minutes before applying. It's easier to manage when cold, and it makes removing the protective film without lifting the sheet off the die easier. When cold, the compound is a bit more rigid (giggidy!), but still retains its stickiness. Work kinda quick though, as it doesn't stay that way for long. Great video as usual brother! 🙂👍

😳 @northwestrepair had too much fun with the repair @5:06

[@paolomonai9511]

Tony, you deserve not a a single like but 100 likes...just impressive: a true master of PCB repair. Regards from Italy.

[@lib..909]

I'm so glad I decided to end up going with MSI after watching your videos on them being the only brand that actually includes fuses, I got the 4080 Super for cheap on Black Friday - it's the VENTUS 3X OC

[@Chicken-o5e]

What are the benefit of fuses ? Sorry im ignorant

[@zetsubou3704]

​@@Chicken-o5eIn case of a short circuit the Fuse will die instead of making a hole in the board like the Gigabyte board he showed in the video.

[@mintymus]

@@zetsubou3704 The card in this video is MSI.

You just resurrected the dead. Very impressive.

[@CallumFaulds1]

This is one of the most skilled repairs I've ever seen. There's a guy on here called Tech Cemetery. He does something similar in this video: Alienware Area 51M Laptop Repair #3 - No Power

[@myne00]

Yeah he's up there in skill. Krisfix is another, but he's slooowww - which is realistic, but...

[@PaulBlartGaming]

​@@myne00krisfix is the goat for now. Northwestrepair is coming for that spot

[@BucifalulR]

I think Tony(NWR) said he owes a lot to Tech Cemetery in one video. Sadly, Tech Cemetery does not do repairs anymore afaik.

[@bindusaraamitaraghata9420]

There is something very satisfying about watching broken hardware getting repaired and in working condition.

[@danielhulan3058]

Tony, master of the soldering arts. Lol. Truly the best at gpu repair.

[@Fergie6366]

just when I think you can't get any better you pull that awesome fix outta the bag AMAZING WORK!

[@MrPuddinJones]

THE DIG. my guy, truly impressive to be able to excavate on a PCB and know what the heck is going on inside the board. i love watching your skill! hope the wreck didnt hurt ya too much

[@bigal2688]

These repairs where you Dremel into the PCB like that are totally amazing! How you know what to reconnect is beyond me! I'll call it PCB Magic! You make it look so simple!

[@marrow1ag]

Ikr, I've been rewatching a lot of Tony's old grinding pen trace repairs and I still can't fathom what's going where and more importantly, why? 😢

[@lemagreengreen]

It's really hard to visualise sometimes isn't it? I understand the concept but yeah... of all the impressive fixes Tony does the internal trace repairs are my favourite.

[@tafadzwamusekiwa659]

Sometimes I wonder if Tony has manufacturer boardview files which show internal traces but hey he's too good this guy

[@ajtimable]

Watching this is like watching one of those "people are awesome" videos. The skill that is involved to do this is on another level

[@in-kognito8997]

Absolut amazing work. For me its like magic. 😮

[@MerolaC]

Awesome repair, Tony. I'd wish I was near you; I have so many friends with GPU's for repair. And it's so nice that you started using PTM7950 or a derivate of it. Say bye bye to thermal pumpout from now on.

[@smileyad3243]

i did like the vid before watching it , u make the repair look so easy but irl its so hard hope i can be better with time ,love your work man and i hope u and ur mom recover from that accident

[@rukasu1878]

This was really exciting to watch, well edited! Also very interesting to know about the Fuse that MSI bords have, thats valuable information you wont get from the usual gpu reviews.

that looks so scary as you start digging into the burnt out multiple layers and even rewire some parts. getting that card fixed is not short of a miracle. awesome job well done

Amazing.. MSI FTW

[@onetruecharlatan]

Quite honestly, your level of knowledge is incredible. Hacking all those layers out of the pcb and still know WTH! you're looking at is mind boggling. I can barely tin the end of a wire but you make this mesmerising.

[@webstella]

Ha ha! This. I lived on this planet 48 years before i finally learned how to tin a wire.

[@deputydawg3215]

[@brnmcc01]

That's amazing. All that damage and digging, and you didn't even have to reball the core or the memory. I was half expecting to see some memory errors.

I did once attempt to dig through a board like you on a 1080 that welded the mosfet and burnt several layers. It's definitely a test of patience and skill that I don't have.

This repair is on another level grinding the board down and then putting in those tiny wires exactly where they need to be How on earth you know how they need to be placed you must have some steel nerves Keep up these interesting video's

[@NomisCode]

Looks like MSI was the only one thinking about repairability with this move

[@Iscandelt]

Nah, lower smoke/fire probability, that's the aim of these fuses. Honestly speaking, almost nobody attempts repairs like Tony did here. It's just too time consuming without guarantee that it'll actually work after that -> too high chance of wasted effort.

[@NomisCode]

@@Iscandelt idk, it's 2k$ piece of hardware... I feel like it should be repaired more then

[@Iscandelt]

@@NomisCode True, it's just a world we're living. Upside is that, you can buy 4090 PCBs relatively cheaply.

[@jlmpc8733]

in my experience, MSI is also the only graphicscard manufacturer, who actually tests the Graphicscard before sending a quote when something is not covered by warranty and offer a reasonable quote for repair. Since I am the "PC guy" for my entire extended family, I tend to rma alot of cards, and MSI was always "this and this is the issue according to the lab, its covered under warranty" or "its not covered under warranty, labour is xx€ and parts xx€, we can send you a replacement card and fix this one". Very cool tbh. And you dont need the receipt. If you have a vendor that accepts 3rd party RMAs, you can use that, pay the fee (here in Germany Media Markt does that, 3rd Party RMA cost is 30€, and MSI just works of the manufacturing date and applys their warranty to that with some buffer. e.g. manufacturing date is 3 years and 2 months ago, warranty is 3 years, they ususally still fix it/ replace your card, and RMA is also fairly quick. They test the card through, as soon as they found the issue, they send you a card that they fixed in previous RMA and fix yours for the next one. When my RMA took ~1 month to come back, they even sent me a gaming mouse as compensation for my 2 weeks longer than stated wait time (which is still used by a friend 4 years later). Ngl, thats why I am willing to pay more to get an MSI card

[@ksenchy]

A fuse so good, it made a hole so big, we had to dig

[@northwestrepair]

without a fuse, hole would be through the board and it would not be repairable.

[@ksenchy]

@northwestrepair must be one of those fuses from Amazon, Louis Rosmann was talking about

[@TheDean420]

That was nuts, how do you make it look so trivial.

[@daviedlopulalan9882]

[@VorpalForceField]

multi-layer repair .. Impressive ..!!!

[@hoverbike]

so, is this the explanation for why you recommended this msi 4090 gaming trio to me? 😂 what an amazing explanation. sturdy, hardy cards sure is a great reason!

[@mikeclardy5689]

I wish there was someone like you willing to let me work and learn under them. I have years of soldering experience that has just gone unused over the years and I recently got into and learned about pc tech. At least in the more mechanical/hardware side of things. If you or anyone else here knows someone looking for a free and competent assistant, lemme know. Id love to learn this and do it myself as a side hustle or hobby. None of my electronics really have any of these issues.

[@Jason-zh7wo]

Great job 👍👍

[@Uncle-Duncan-Shack]

We usually get that when an igbt becomes a sooty skidmark, the gate sends stuff back into the driver circuits and takes them out. I suspect that mosfet did the same to the controller. The igbt's I work on are the size of a gpu, it builds character.
