Do you offer any type of service for graphics cards? I have a gtx 1080 that is giving me problems at the moment and I am pretty sure it is the issue but I don't have another pc to test it on. It was bought in jan 2018 and was mined on for about 5months before I bought it (have receipt so this is for sure). I have been running it undervolted/overclocked myself since owning it and it seems to run in benchmarks fine but has been blue screening me with games playing. I think the gpu is dying but I am not sure. I tried downclocking it and upping the voltage, even downclocking memory but still got blue screens. They where WHEA errors which indicate hardware issues. Can you help?

Plenty of times I have had to remove the BGA SSD chip and replace it with a different one, often a different brand and/or capacity and it usually works provided I don't screw up. I figured as long as the BGA pattern and ball size is the same and the VRAM chip type is the same, I should be able to replace a bad VRAM. Plus, if you think about it, a graphics card manufacturer is not always going to be able to source a particular VRAM, so it makes sense for their boards to work with multiple manufacturers' VRAM.

With your tutelage, I was able to get one of them up and running again, (going on hour number 28 of continuous use) and I couldn't be happier! Thanks again. All I did was disassemble the GPU, removed the dust that had gathered on it, wiped it down pretty well, and reinserted it into the MoBoard. Fired right up!

You need to befriend some Ozzie tech repair channel, so you can have your micro soldering done for a price of few beers. 8)

The oven method only works for so long. The heating and cooling cycles will eventually break the BGA connection again. One way to keep the card alive for longer is to literally just leave your pc on so it never goes all the way back down to room temp, OR ideally if it's profitable, crypto mine right after gaming, to keep the card hot all the time so it can't cool and shrink/ possibly snap the weak resoldier of the BGA. I have an old 7970 that broke after a week of normal gaming and shutting the pc off. Rebaked it, now I let the PC idle when I'm not gaming and its been going strong for 3 months. Might cost me $5 a month on my power bill buy it sure beats having to buy another gpu in this market.

Hey Bryan just wanted to let you know that your videos have been super helpful. They got me into computer repair and building as a side job. LOVE the C&C music. Keep uo the fantastic videos.

I have managed to bring a few cards 'back to life' by cleaning out the contacts for the slot as well as the ports. For heating, I have always covered the area being worked on with liberal amounts of flux to ensure that the solder joints don't get even weaker from the reflow. Low success rate though, like you have experienced.

Mr. Tech Yes Man, thank you for delivering these Command & Conquer tunes! Oh, the memories!

I would have tried cleaning up the rust inside the HDMI port. The rust tells me that the card was exposed to a very humid environment or maybe even had something spilled/sprayed near the port.

If you use a thermal camera, or just put your finger on the board, you might be able to see or feel components that are shorting out (they become hot very quick). Components on old dead cards can be re-used, if you want to try micro-soldering.

I have a GTX 980 (Asus Strix) that I flashed it's firmware. I was using it in an SLI configuration as the primary card my monitor was plugged into. I flashed the firmware on both cards (they are identical cards but this card was 1 year newer). After flashing both cards successfully (having to uninstall the other card to do so), I started playing a game (which didn't support SLI) the PC crashed about 2 minutes into playing, and I could smell smoke coming from my PC. Some how a component on the GPU fried it self.. perhaps a VRM/MOSFET/Choke burned it self. The card no longer gives a signal, but the PC still boots with this card installed when installed by it self. It's been a few years since this happened and the card no longer smells of burnt electronics. I was thinking about using this GPU as the 2nd video card in my SLI configuration but I can no longer do that since building a new PC last year. I'd prefer to get this card working again and use it in another PC. Any idea what I might be able to do?

Do NOT heat up electrolytic capacitors! They fail ... sometimes even explode!

Someone was given a GTX 950, my friend brought it to me a year ago. Only thing we knew about the card was the machine died to Cockroach hell... So it sat double bagged in a Ziplock bag for a year. I recently pulled it out, and realized the issue was apparently the Bug bomb residue. Apparently they set the bomb off inside the PC lol... Extreme I guess, or maybe it was very close to the PC. I took the card outside, tore it down, cleaned it. Was happy not to see any bugs, just a sticky residue on the board. Cleaned it with the Tech Yes City Method, and bam, that thing fired right up and pasted 4 hours of stress testing it. 1 hour for each test, let it idle between tests. So your videos get results for us, I thank you! :D I have a painters brush, I spray the no name WD-40 on it, soaking it pretty good and paint it on. For those that think using it is a bad thing, it's not. And the brush thing, I don't know, psychological barrier to get me to do it I suppose lol. It seemed cleaner... lol Currently going through the rest of my old cards since if they work, they might bring the most value in now... And I try to sell for reasonable prices. Sold 2 GTX 770's for $75 each. I even paid the shipping. I could have got $100+ maybe, but I didn't want to be the guy that sold them, and raked in the cash, only to hear... Hey it died after 2 hours! lol Fair prices brings Fair customers! I'd still give a refund if they died, but so far so lucky!!! :D

Great that you cover cleaning the gpus also, pretty much wiped and transplanted it, last upgrade. Asked my bud if we should take it apart and change the thermal paste (did the upgrade before Shadowlands prepatch around the time it was on ptr) and they were like nah just move it. I remember wiping the dust off the lower caddy after 2-3 hours of use later. That was a bit gross. I'm not really afraid of taking apart to clean, more of putting the GPU back together afterwards.

Love your honesty

Thanks for the great video ,can you tell me who made the music for the video, it reminded me on age of Unreal Tournament 99 and fast tracker songs

Hi Brian. A few days ago, I recently discovered 1 last last resort that worked for me 😁 That is pushing up the other end of the video card (the opposite end of the video ports) while it is inserted in the pcie slot making the pcb a little bit slant for about half or more than half an inch. Using a cheap gpu anti sag will work too, you just need to adjust it a little bit higher so that it will push the gpu's pcb. 2 out of 2 of my defective gpu's are now working. The 1st one is Palit Jetstream Gtx 960 2gb which has garbage display. The 2nd one is the Sapphire Radeon HD 5670 which makes my entire pc not posting or will not reach bios while inserted in the pcie slot. I did this out of desperation because as you've said, repair is expensive and glad that the method worked. My theory is that overtime, the gpu's pcb will start to show a lot of wear and tear specially the traces and solder points due to gpu sagging, coz we all know that the points for gpu support is just the pcie and the gpu back io shield. Sorry for the long paragraph, I'm just so happy that I fixed my 2 cards with this method 😁👌🏻

DONT DO THIS! But sometimes it works, on any pcb, not just graphic cards. One thing that often will stop electronics working is a dry joint (poor manufacture but the fault develops over time). Here is an easy kill or cure fix (so last ditch but sometimes works). Now before you do this google dry joints so you know what you are looking for, then have a close look, sometimes if you are lucky you will spot a suspect bad solder joint that is big enough to literally just re solder (google that as well tip at the end) I have fixed a surprising number of things by just re-soldering a few suspect joints. But assuming the suspect joint is not big enough to see and its one of those microscopic joints there is still a way. literally I was shown this by a PC engineer about 40 years ago when people sill did board level repairs. Get a blowlamp, light it let it warm up and stabilise, adjust the flame intense but small. Then literally move it over the underside of the board "reasonably" quickly. If done right the heat will re-solder all the joints before anything gets hot enough to be killed. Obviously some practice on and old dead PCB's is useful first. While I have lost count of the electrical appliances I have fixed by simple looking for and re-soldering visible suspect joints (if they are big do them all), EVEN AFTER EXPERTS SAID THEY WERE UNFIXABLE. But I have resorted to this "Kill or Cure" approach about a dozen times over the years (before throwing the thing in the rubbish), AND FOUR TIMES IT WORKED. So worth a shot if all else fails. Soldering TIP, I now have several good soldering irons, but someone bought me a cheap battery soldering iron, I thought is was a gimmick or toy.... but tried it, ITS BRILLIANT for this type of work. It cannot do huge joints but for small soldered PCB joints is fast easy and doesn't overheat components. But google how to solder and practice on something you are not really trying to fix first. THATS ALL FOLKS.... REMEMBER THIS REALLY IS LAST RESORT, I accept no liability for any damage you do to your kit, hands, or house, use this info responsibly and at your own risk.

I've flashed the bios on a 780 ti that had some solid artifacts with a different revision (same revision made no difference). Brought the card back to life.

Interesting idea with the heat gun. Simple but makes sense. Going to try that here and cross my fingers. Card is working, but the PCIE power plug on the card has some charring.

BRYAN, please please please get an ultrasonic cleaner. I can’t tell you just how many electronics I have repaired with one , wave oscillating is a bonus, use some diluted PCs cleaner. It heats up. Then alcohol bath followed by a data vac or air compressor, also getting a and rework station for micro soldering and or just fixing old solder joints just apply a thin laying of flux around the infected areas to get the solder reflowing.

so far iv revived 1 video card today with a lil toaster oven. took a 29 270 from artifacting at boot and crashing at windows load to no artifact and back to booting. now were doin a hd4890 to see if it cures that things artifacting and issues.

You might get lucky and find one for $500 but even dead ones sell at $800 or more, insanity.

cost of the toolslike multimiter, solderin iron, lab power supply is around 50 usd.... as soon as you have the boards you can learn how to resurrect it ....

Don't mind me. I'm just gonna watch this again so I can hear the Command and Conquer soundtrack.

I have a HD 7970 with intermittent failure - sometimes it runs fine, sometimes it fails abysmally. When it does run, I tend to just leave it one for fear that a restart attempt will result in failure. It generally fails as a frozen screen, or it will POST but have no visuals. When it is used, it disables my onboard graphics, so I can't go in and use that to try and fix things. Does this sound like a VRAM/heat gun scenario?

Mine hd7750 had similar non posting issue so i pluged my monitor into integrated graphics and flashed a bios with lower ram speed/clock, since then it works perfectly. Hope this helps.

i think the capacitor is bulged, u can try to replace a bulged capacitor, but its difficult process, capacitors function is to temporarily hold electric charge n release its when power is needed, thats y the gpu cant start at early

I had that exact same 970 a few years back. Eventually failed and I was able to bake it a few times and revive it, but eventually couldn’t be brought back

Coolest diagnosis trick I have seen is to remove the cooling fan board, plug the bare card into the motherboard, take a q-tip with denatured or rubbing alcohol on it, get the top surface of each memory chip slightly wet. Next power up the CPU and look at the wet chips. If one dries quickly 2-3 seconds then you know its failed and overheating. Obviously don't keep the system powered up for long or you burn the main GPU out.

11:48 .... oh, yeah, that Tech Yes Lovin'

You really gave those cards some tech yes loving

My GPU just died on me during a semiconductor shortage, thanks 1060.

I have a new EVGA 2080 Super stopped working fans run has 2 power connectors shows red light? I paid cash was new in box sealed. They claim not retail and I didn't buy from store so no warranty? Only used 14hrs.

Yeah u right we need to test all input slots specially for old GPUs ,my GTX 580 was giving no display from HDMI I thought that it was dead but surprisingly the DVi Still working .Conclusion: sometimes in old GPUs HDMI might break real fast . And thanks to you I saved it.

=OO 4:34 omg your music! C&C forever! peace through power! =D

Recently got a 1060 6gb Asus Blower style with a desktop I bought really cheap.(they didn't know what was wrong, but apparently bit was just the gpu being wonky, as the rest works without it) Card works fine with Microsoft Basic Display driver, but soon as you install the proper drivers, the screen gets black and white lines then blue artifacting and other weird things. Been trying to find compatible bios' for the 1060 to see if it's just a faulty bios but have had little luck

My friend has the same GTX 970 from MSI and caught fire twice! He is not bothered to open it up and check whats wrong tho and bought a GTX 1650 super ASUS Tuf instead.

What you have done with the multipurpose spray and a tuff brush is bad! you could remove small electrinc parts from the PCB! The correct method: You can clean it with your ultrasonic cleaner, and for those who do not have this cleaner, a simple soap and hot water shower, a very gentle one, no brushing what so ever just foam made from soap, hot water slow stream in the shower. and a full 72 hours dry process, is the safest way to go.

What's the multi-purpose spray equivalent here in the U.S.? Is it WD-40? CLP gun grease? Aunt Jemima?

i do recommend one thing, instead of the wd-40, give them a phat was in the sink, like scrub proper, using hand or any soap. then heatgun them. What ive found is that it removes junk from underneath the gpu die itself and also helps make sure the gpu is cooked properly because no water can be present.

Can it be fixed? YES man 💪

Yes he can

you can still use most parts the caps and resistörs at least. mos-fetz ? what about reballing? ?

Thanks your video helped alot

I've got a Gigabyte X58 board that seems to be having an issue with RAM...It has six slots, but will only run the 2 slots on the far left properly, so single-channel RAM only. If I put one stick in each channel, I can see in Windows "12.00GB (4.00GB Usable)." It won't boot at all if I only put RAM in one of the faulty channels. Guessing it's mobo or CPU and all the CPU's I have that I could swap into it are already up for auction so I don't want to mess with them. I did win the board at an auction, and I got it for like half price, so I'm not totally burned if I have to sell it with single-channel RAM, it's just disappointing when I see something like CSGO that would probably be averaging about twice the FPS if I could get those other channels working. P.S. - I have already gone into msconfig and made sure the Advanced boot setting was right, as well as tested all the slots. I cleaned the board thoroughly before ever even booting it. And they are all clicked in properly. So as far as I can see, that's where the help on Google ends.

I would suggest you buy for usa sonic cleaner, and make a video

can a hair blow use for heating it up? i only have that and my graphics card are still showing video the only problem is they are lossing communication with the drv something file that cause the cards with lines

I just bought a 57€ gtx 980ti armor 2x that didn't worked after a occt test, now i wait to recive it and test it :)

If you have a thermal camera you may be able to see 'hotter' or cooler than normal components..

My Gigabyte Vega 56 boots up and works fine when I watch youtube or benchmark it but as soon as I try to run a game or mine crypto it creates weird code/artifacts all over the entire screen and then it freezes and shuts off

First I thank you for all yours videos they are great :). And second I have I question ...I bought "Palit gtx 1080 gamerock edition" and works smoothly until I'm not trying to oc, what can I do to fix? thanks

Hey how many times would you jerk the hdmi port before it comes right?

if you go blind - it was to much :-(

Mine just died recently, i can't afford a new one and i need it for work, help 🥺🥺

Maybe I must start a business that can repair any broken graphics card

BTW you only fail, when you do not try. Slamming tracks my dude. Great video Brian. Love the content Thank you for the daily dose of YES We need this!

When I upgraded to an X570 / R5 3600 last july one of my crossfired r9 280X's started acting wonky. PC wont boot if it's the primary and if it's the 2nd card either not recognized or shows as PCIE 1.0/2.0. Upon inspection there's a bit of evidence on the back PCB of heat around a single solder joint and the solder is broken/cracked. I always planned on trying to resolder that connection and current GPU situation is forcing me to get that extra 70% scaling I was used to in my older crossfire friendly games, so I'm going to get a small solder iron. It might only take 5 seconds.

Have you ever moved a Dell Optiplex 9020 Small Form Factor motherboard to another case like you did with that Lenovo in one of your recent videos?

DADMAN TO THE RESCUE!!!
