There is always that little smile and joy when you see the screen lit up from a card you just fixed..Good job!
I don't think a lot of people who watch this understand how impressive this is. Just reading schematics correctly at all takes a ton of knowledge. Not to mention the previous experience needed to understand what minimal voltage will produce the results you're looking for in a thermal camera enough to register, while minimizing potential damage to the board components by overvolting it. All that combined with similar level of dexterity to a surgeon, with just slightly more room for failure. As someone who's been microsoldering for about 3 years this is ultra impressive work. The amount of dedication into learning the craft at this level is so high. Not to mention the thousands of dollars invested to have proper equipment. I'm getting out of the industry soon, but I hope people understand this is leagues above the repair place in the mall that just swaps iPhone screens.

Yeah the seriously overpriced cards should not be having those issues in the first place u understand artifacts after leaving It on for a few years for 6 hours a day lol
You need a multimeter that takes voice orders, "METER IN DIODE MODE", "METER IN RESISTANCE MODE", "METER IN FRAPPUCCINO MODE", ...

You do have skills no doubt, those tiny parts cannot be easy to do, yet you do them like no body's business... congrats. What you do is what I dreamed of doing back in the day. Now I'm just satisfied in watching you do it.
The number of components crammed onto that board is crazy - from above it looks like a big city photographed from the air!!

I’ve watched too many video of this guy and I was able to repair my broken laptop. What amazed me the most is his excitement and genuine reaction after repairing stuff. Pure joy a true technician by heart.
I was on the edge of my seat at the end. I felt your sigh of relief when we saw signs of life. Great video, keep on doing what you doing!

I can just imagine how happy that customer is going to be, just the thought of losing a 3090! Amazing Job and as always I am inspired to continue my Fix it journey.
Using the IR camera and carefully injecting voltage to pin point the issue is super smart, well done sir!
Great videos. You gave me the confidence to try and fix my efi boot issue on my MacBook Pro. 30 mins later with a new chip installed I got it working. Many thanks!!
The smile at the end of each repair says it all for the joy of bringing devices back from the dead. Excellent repair. Thank you.
I cannot resist a comment. The tension build up to a great repair with the smile at the end. Perfect. Thank you Alex, please never stop.
Great job. Best repair channel out. Keep up the good work
im learning a lot , thanks to you sir , 3 days ago i fixed a 3090 with almost the same Problem as this one , it feels good to be student of this master work
Keep being you Alex. Love your content, learning a lot, and I don't mean only about tech.
That smile on you face makes me really happy. It's like you're a doctor and saved a patients life. In fact it is.
Brilliant and masterful as usual. Thanks for sharing.
Those Gigabyte cards are notorious for power shorts, I have repaired at least 6 of the 3060 3070 and 3080 cards in the last 2 months. That is a 1.4k card and should be under warranty not sure why they sent it to you but some people can not wait.

Best on YT. Period. I've learned so much from you brother. Thank you.
Impressive again with your experience and being able to pinpoint the problem quickly. good job
I like the trademark smile when you fix something, I think it means you actually enjoy fixing stuff, kudos to you!
Was at the edge of my seat when the display did not come but then I realized it was you, the MAGICIAN so I relaxed and watch you do you.👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Good job. You are really doing amazing work.
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise here on KZread.
you are nothing but amazing tech guy Alex. good job man :)
You saved not just hundreds of dollars, but a little piece of the environment too. Guys like this needs more respect, and they should be the ones earning fortunes, not the marketing guys at GPU manufacturers, who makes the lifecycle of these products intentionally short. Huge respect!
Really love your videos a lot to learn from you and i love how you are happy when you fix something that is really satisfying 😊
I find these videos very satisfying to watch :)
YO THATS AWESOME! fantastic work!
Nice to see that you are really happy after successful repair
I like your enthusiasm when you test and see success
بارك الله فيك حسين
Thank you so much for the informations you said during the work
I'm jealous of your steady hands. :)
Great video, thank you my friend!
He is so good , and explains details so well.
Great fix Alex 😊😊
Alex: "No time for playing" Me: "..but.. it's a 3090!!" 😍
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Most of all, your excitement when the fix works is contagious. I'm not even in this line of work, I am a software developer 🤣 But after bingeing your videos for a week now, I am SERIOUSLY thinking of starting this as a hobby and see where it goes :)
I want to learn more...you're an inspiration!
This happy face after the fix... Congrats!
Great job, like always.
Amazing job, Alex
Great work as always sir :)
KUDOS! great job once again sir alex
Hard Work i really appreciate it man keep going on
awesome channel, and great educational content. I wonder what the cost of a repair like this would be?
i am from ethiopia i love all of your work i wiil tnx's you!!
very well done! thx for the vid :)
I just love 💕💕 your videos the tension was sjy high when changing The HDMI CABLE
Man. I wish you were my local repair guy. I have an EVGA 3080 that needs to be repaired and my confidence in local shops is low. This is great stuff!
Good job mate 👍
great job as always any update on that graphics card shelve, i hope that a good amount of gamers got their card back
Good job!
i like the work pride thuumbs up pal
I have a computer shop. My three guys were out in the shop area trying to diagnose a computer. I walked by and offered my help. After about 5 seconds I switched on the monitor. Problem fixed! Three guys there and none thought to check the monitor power.
Awesome Job 👍🏻
Good job as usual
Just admit it, you added the hdmi issue at end for extra suspense.😅 All kidding aside, awesome job! 👍

You are a genius my friend.
Super into this! I have to dead GPU that I know are if not the die a simple little solder deal and I've not got the tools, hands, funds or time for anew hobby. Interested in soon sending mine off as your work looked very strait tot he culprit and looked OEM.
Good job 👍!
Bravo, good job sir.
Phenomenal video and work. You never explained why Gigabyte cards are harder than others? Is this the case with all Gigabyte cards in history or just the recent RTX iterations? I am particularly keen on old graphics cards...
love the vids bro
Just impressive as hell!
That's truly appreciate, Awesome 👌 👏 👍, Congratulations 🎊 👏
man i love your videos
Great job 😃
ty 4 the video
Man i was so happy for you when the card finally posted😂
Nice job‼️😊😊
I really love how after fixing thousands of devices you still get a FIX (pun intended) out of it. How it must be a great life to do something you love while making a killing.
I always watch these videos and wish I could repair my broken GPUs like that!
Excellent 👍
I will always remember when I got GTX9800 form a friend back in the day when that card was badass. He had it in a drawer with a lots of other stuff and many SMD components were missing/knocked off because it was abused in that drawer while he was tossing shit around with sharp stuff there for a year. He put it there because one day it didn't show picture, and bought another one, and after a year or so, he gave it to me. Luckly I had similar card (someone gave me, I hoard carp) but it had burnt traces on power side of board. So, firstly, i put friends card in the owen to reflow GPU (that was the main reason I thought for friends card not working) and then I took SMD components from my card and resolder it to friends card that had missing components. Also some tiny traces were damaged from knocking off smd parts but I repaired it with thin copper wire. And after all that crap, abuse, I thought, there is no fucking way that that card will work, and then I plugged that shit in, and I saw BIOS screen. I was so fucking happy that I cannot describe. I could not afford that good card at the time, and yet I had it finally thanks to my handywork. This card worked well for 5 years for rendering and gaming, until I spill some beer on PC and fucked it all up. I will never forget that card, so yeah, I know that great feel when you repair card that was pretty much in the dumpster. I love videos like this! Keep it up!
Very usefull, You need a multimeter that shows current and voltage values on the screen.
good job!
This content is amazing and I hope one day I get on your level...we need to get you more subs for a 4k setup.
Good 6 1/2+ digit voltmeter should see a voltage drop at the shorted mosfet compared to the good ones @ 2-3 amps. Used a Keithley 2010 with 3amp power supply to measure resistance and their power dissipation of copper rails on a welding machine, that I repaired&upgraded once.
GPU fix series are back, awesome:D
WELL DONE :)
Good job 👍👍
In the end the most important thing comes into play: Save the 3090 from being discarded into the landfill... 👍
Ohh man you are a legend. This fix you did is not at all easy.
Very awesome job. Great. Very good. Greets
A master at his craft.
Do you use something to avoid static discharges from the body or is not that important?
when I replace mosfets, if it's on the Low Side, I always double check the RDS(on) value of the mosfet I'm replacing to make sure it's lower vs the High Side one .
