    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.

    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!
