First off, love the content! Iv'e been trying to build new/used gaming pcs and here in Texas the market is terrible for used parts, even on ebay its brutal. but I have been doing hardware repair for well over a decade and here are my tips. 1.)Flux is cheap and helps the solder move into place better when even using the heat gun method. 2.)I've never used your cleaning methods but if you ever want to make an investment get a large wave-oscillating ultrasonic cleaner, Its amazing the amount of hardware you can repair with this alone! also on the cheap you can use a dishwasher. but the ultrasonic cleaner is the best method 3: next step from a heat gun is a re-flow gun, I have a 2n1 re-flow and solder (SMD rework station) bought of amazon and it works fine. also love using an oven or a toaster oven. this not only ensures even heating but allows you the space to do multiple parts at the same time. keep it going!

Opened it up completely, cleaned up the dust and old crappy thermal paste, re-applied some good old TX-4 and my daughter has a great working laptop now that rarely goes over 70C and flies through all the stress tests (Prime95, Intel XTU, etc.) without breaking a sweat!! 😎Keep spreading the Tech Yes Love!! 👍👍

Heatgun "fix" is usually only temporary. The cards will break again after a few weeks/months and everytime you heat it again this time gets shorter. At least that's what happened to a few of 9800GTX's that I tried it on.

The only exception was 9800GT/9600GT green edition, they had around 20W in idle, those were one of the last G92 based cards in 2009. They have voltage lowered to 1 (from 1.10-1.15 original) So you cannot undervolt 9800GTX through software, you need do BIOS mod. If you set it so low, that card won't boot, you screwed, as it don't have 2d/3d modes, you need to change only one voltage for 3D. It's risky as hell. Would not risk it. You can underclocked it through software, I have it set to 350/500 for 2d use. (from 700/1000). It saves 5w in idle, because cannot undervolt it, which is sad.

The old 9800's were failure prone because the chip ran too hot for the new "lead free" solder that was introduced, it was a massive problem for a LOT of systems and GPU's, on laptops. The nVidia Go 7900 was another bitch to keep running.

@18:15-18:20 the BIOS Chip seems like it needs to be pushed into the DIP - socket a little bit, might be the reason for no boot! (Asus B150). PIN 1 and 8 are lifted up the most, I don't really know if PIN 1 aka Chipselect is needed for normal BIOS operation, but I know for sure it's needed for BIOS Reprogramming. However PIN 8 is VCC and is crucial, since it is the main Supply Voltage for the Rom, without it connected properly, malfunction is guaranteed. The precise Timeframe of 15 Seconds from power on to auto power off, seems to be the period in which the Board tries to autodetect BIOS Flash Rom, RAM is not even initialized at this point, it turns off because of Bios detection timeout! Since u got the board second hand, it might also be the case, that someone exposed the board to an excessive physical shock, during which the BIOS chip might have popped out and someone plugged it in back the wrong way, so make sure to check the orientation as a last resort. Both the chip and the socket have an etched in mark, which is to be alligned. Sorry for the weird wording! Enjoying your Content a lot, Tech Yes City Gang! TYCG

Great video as always, keep the good work. I have been having issues fixing a family member's laptop, it's an old Samsung. For some reason the desktop icons keep flashing, and if i press the right mouse button they apear, if i press the left button they disapear. It even started pasting the days date on a document for no reason. It reduces the sound when playing videos to 0 and keps refreshing the webpages. Initially I thought it could be the keyboard so I unplugged it and used an external one, problem persisted. Then I thought it could be software so I intalled win10, Win8, Win7 and even linux, but the problems persist. Then I started thinking it could be a problem with the graphics chip (the pc was overheating before I got my hands on it, so it might be shorting) but that would cost way to much to fix it, it it really is that. Do you happen to have any idea what could be? Also the problems seem to be worse when the temperatures are higher.

I remember when I was heatgunning 360s, I often found turning them upside down and starting slow then going up to high for short bursts and overall doing it for about 10 minutes was better than upright and on high, this way the only time 360s came back with RROD was after people did things like 15 hours + on heavy gaming sessions and/or with terrible cooling i.e directly on carpet with no ventilation.

This is awesome showing how to resurrect some cards. If you ever want to upgrade in the future with the tools. Check out the Hakko bottom heaters and PCB vises. At work, these things really speed up the time without burning up the parts and PCBs. The new stuff is kind of expensive but if you can find it second hand you could save some cash. The bottom heater really helps with layered boards with large ground plaining or large BGA's. At work we use ether Weller or Hakko and this stuff works 3 shifts a day 6 days a week. We put these tools threw hell and they just keep working, though the solder tips if miss used will only last a week but if you know how to use them they will last a few months. I've gotten a medium size Hakko 936 solder tip to last 4 months.

When you own board is being featured and he is cleaning it to flip it... ok upgrade time. Also city view in the background of a video is cool as hell.

I am so glad that 780Ti HOF came back, such a beautiful card, would be amazing on a vertical mount to show off that cooler, wish manufacturers would make more unique coolers insteas of altering existing ones

Hey, I wonder if you generally do any further testing on the memory (e.g. memtest86+) after resurrecting it, or do you just check the motherboard detects it and POSTs? I ask because obviously memory is one of the most common causes of instability in a system, so it's possible a 'dead' stick could be revived with a clean/heat treatment, but still have problems with one or more of the components. Thanks.

Yes I do run tests after I have built the system up.

I hope you won't sell these cards! As an electrical engineer I can say that without applying BGA flux, they most likely wont last very long. reflowing BGA Chips is not that easy. A small oven works better, but only if you apply flux. For private use, heat gunning (or baking) them without flux is totally fine, but just don't expect them to work over time. It really is a gamble. I've done this (like you, without flux) to an R9 280X, worked great for over a year, but then it failed again. For some graphics chips it also won't work, because the die itself is degraded. A good example are Radeon HD6xxx and GeForce 8xxx cards. They have a VERY high rate at coming back to life, but they will fail again after a bit of thermal cycling. This method is great for extracting an extra 6-24 months of the GPU, for example to wait for the next generation, or for fun, but NOT for selling those. If you want to sell them, use flux, so the fix will last. Also, it is a good idea to check vcore with a multimeter before trying this. if Vcore is not even present, this won't fix it, or it will only work for a few days (because heating capacitors can revive them for a few days)

19:36 my friend got the same situation and my solution was bring it to istc vietnam( they working on rma and repairing msi products in vn), they just need to replace a capacitor on the vrm and everything was good to go

Brian, I think buying a 10 or 20 litee can of brake cleaner and a refillable spray pump is way more economical for you. Those little aerosol cans are empty in no time.
