Name of the channel could be "Yes, We have a Picture!" 😁

Welcome back man. I'm a recent subscriber so I'm glad to see you're still making content.

I've been soldering for a company for 18 years as postwave/touchup and modding boards for quick fix rev changes. This was new to me and some serious education. Thanks for the vid man. Also, I'm a PC gamer, so this video hit home, thank you. I'm subbing.

Great skills, would love some short tutorials over a playlist to get some basics on GPU diagnostics. Found my multimeter - fingers crossed!

Great job and amazing knowledge about these small electronic things .. keep going on it, always when you upload an new video, i‘m watching it .. As well greetings from Germany ;)

Krasava voobshe! My heart stopped every time you used the dremel on that poor board. I can't believe how you could take off so many PCB layers and somehow soldered them back together

Woah.! That repair was Fearless. 👏

Its really great to see you uploading again!!! Please keep it up! In time you will get the recognition you deserve!!!

Kid, you have a real talent. I thought it was unfixable; yet you made it work! WOW!

This is one of the better videos I’ve seen about gpu repair. Down and dirty. Getting it done. I would have scrapped the card but I will think twice now lol

Brody, you are truly great repair man! Spot on.

wow! I never thought you can revive this! This is insane!

Great to see you're back to repairing these GPUs.

I love how you say "auf Wiedersehen" at the end

this is first time I saw someone repaired the short gpu, nice :>

This is awesome repair stuff bro! Helpful for many keep it up

Watching your video was useful for me. Thank you.

Hey ....I wanted to thank u for videos u making my GPU just failed and Im trying to fix it by watching ur videos ...I hope I can fix this card

What phenomenal attempt brother you really got skills on Gpus I am a gamer xD I have 2 dead cards in our desk every refused to repair beacause they don't know the problem wish I can send you those cards. Good Job btw

good job my friend you are best

nice job eli...keep up the good work man..

hi, Welcome back and thx for share good luck :)

It's a bit late, but you can rewire the fet drivers to the fets without the driver, just run some jumperwires to the gate and don't forget about the current monitoring. Or you could change the dubbler into same output on both phases without current balancing and forget about the sense wires :)

My God! I never thought this fix was even possible. Eli Tech... Call sign Neo!

My favorite channel. Good work, nice explanation. I think it will going big company like louis rosman who repairing apple product

I have succesfully repaired other types of electronic equipment, by placing a separate small homemade PCB over a burnt area. On the small PCB I built a circuit like the old one and provided the necessary connections to the main PCB. You can do the same here, by making 3 copies of a working phase on to a separate PCB.

Amazing work, definitely something I wouldn't attempt with my skillset, lol.. Cheers.

You are a real brave man grinding PCB.😯😯😯😯

salute to you to daring sorted pcb plug on MB on PSU. bravo brother. love from bangladesh.

Great Video. I actually thought i would be the only one, but my MSI 980TI died with a bang after little less than 4 years. Computer shut down, graphics card was hot. Tried to get it to run but sadly, on my attempt it gave me a flame and burned smell. I bet it's the same problem, maybe i will find the courage to actually try and repair it. Sad to see a €800,- graphics card to burn after 4 years

You are the god of graphic's card, this 980 Ti is handicaped now... but she's work fine

I love this channel. I need one for rx570

Interesting repair on video as always

Very cool Eli Tech!

Nice one! Glad you saved one GPU :)

Good job buddy, you do the work as if the gpu were yours.

Keep up the good work bro

amazing repair

holy shit man you are crazy! :O amazing

Simply amazing..

Time to E-Power it, and throw it on LN2! Keep Calm, And Raise V-Core!

my gott Eli, jeez, this was really difficult. I expect you to find that driver, so it is only two phases down. I have trouble wondering if the traces could be wired with jumpers for the other two traces. Or are some other components not there?

Insane! 🙏🙏

keep it up dude! i like looking at ur vids

I wish you had a microscope camera. :') *PATREONS* Love your Videos

I repair main boards for work but I would never use a rotary to remove burnt layers of pcb. I think a sharp razor and a scope is the best option Also you should get a psu to inject power instead of having to plug it in and out all these times. Just inject little voltage and use some alcohol and you’ll be able to spot exactly where the short is

Nice work!

amazing job

I like the timelapse sound more than music.

Sehr gut gemacht

love your videos

Good content Eli Keep it up

awesome job man liked btw

gut gemacht!

As a beginner, I would have liked to see how you decided there were shorts and how you found where they are. I purchased a video card they said was broke. I plugged it in and at least there is a picture but this board is real hot!! I tried to ohm the mosfets and they seemed shorted. I removed the mosfet, caps, and , and, that acted like shorted and checked them off the board and all were good. Put everything back and now I found more areas that look shorted. How do you check out a board so that you dont go down the rabbit hole looking for shorts!!! Thanks for the videos.

Gold Edition, more like copper edition... but very nice, respect for your skills.. I got the same card but the normal version... never had an issue

Nice work! I have that same card and it has a short in one of the power inductor coils. Those two gray boxes next to the power connector cable slots. Any specs of those components? Thx if you have time to answer!

Nice video man!! already subscribe. You can make a video about you tools? like a showcase of you lab?

Very nice video and skill! I have a 980ti g1 with the r172 and r174 resistors blown straight out. I have taken it apart and have picture of the board and the hole itself, it looks like it goes pretty deep but I have an untrained eye. No service center will touch it. Is there any way you could tell me if its fixable? Maybe if I send you pictures? Any response would be very appreciated.

Great video

I found a GTX 1080 ti at the dump the other day. It has a burnt mark right at the back end. Doesn't look as serious as this one. I wish you lived in my country so I could send it to you for repairs :)

Wow, I had idea VRMs and doublers still work with missing phases. I just assumed they'd either do nothing, or the voltage output would be too unstable to use.

Outstanding

Hi great repair, I have a 980ti as well with similar fault would you take a look at it?

Hi there thank you for the video very nice one of my cards I tried to put it on a different computer and I connect the power and then all of a sudden smoke came out is there any way I can fix that

That's really impressive, shorts are most the time a sign of a broken elements. I have 2 broken EVGA GPUs, I really don't know what to do with them, I don't have burnts, they just stopped working. The cause for the two was the first one GTX 770, got a case hit and stopped working, the 2nd one GTX 780 classified with similar problem but stopped working because of moving the case in the car during travelling.

dude you are a god!!!!

Great video! Maybe you can help me. I have a Zotac GTX 1070 Mini and the shielding is cracked on 2 of the inductors. I would like to replace all 5 of them at once just to be safe. Do you know where I can purchase R22 inductors that will fit my card? It works just fine, but I would like the peace of mind knowing they are not going to short out and ruin my card. Thanks and keep up the good work!

You should do this for living... i bet you could make good money with it. Keep up the good work. Greeetz from the Netherlands

Have you ever tried upgrading your Vram chip? I wish i had some electronic knowledge to do it myself

You are the man

Mate you are awesome 👌

I got the same card. I tried to RMA the card since I bought it on 16th of June 2016. It was supposed to have 3 year warranty but I got rejected by MSI. The RMA support told me that the warranty started when they shipped it to Newegg and not the date of purchase. That's a scummy move to pull.

wow thats some talent

Good work, great video ... I would appreciate advice - my friend has an issue with his GTX 980 Strix as it boots to desktop but it crashes (to a pure blue or black screen) a minute or two after entering a game (for example Lost Ark). We ordered a new PSU as we though it would solve the issue, because for a while he was able to use GPUTweak to lower GPU Power Target to 65%, underclock GPU and memory to lowest possible and he would be able to play games for hours. The new PSU (Corsair RM650 CP) did not solve the issue so we changed the thermal pad on the GPU VRM and repasted and it did not solve the issue, but now it got worse - even with 65% power target and underclock it would crash a minute after entering a more demanding game. There is no visible damage on the card, but an oil leak was present on the VRM and we have cleaned it, so we are now wondering if the card can be repaired by a professional electronic or should we give it up?

wow you are determined. i like that

would love to see furmark on this card :))

I have a 980ti with the similar symptoms. Its evga with a blown rs3 resistor. Would love to send it to you my guy

Would underclocking the card make it safe to stress test? or not because the card cant recognize which phases dont have power? Even if its not its former glory there is still value in an underclocked 980ti yet not really any value in a 980ti that cant stress past idle.

Just fixed a 980Ti with bad memory lowside mosfet and flown inductor. Works perfectly. I have two more to repair, and one of them looks like this one and I know for sure I'd be losing at least one power phase, leaving 7 available (hopefully). The other one needs all new VRAM and power phase controller. These cards aren't exactly aging well.

@Eli Tech Damn... are You telling me that I wasted my money on my "Gold Heat Sink" :) This was a "brutal repair"... but "You got picture" very well done :) I guess I misunderstood the layout (or something else) because it looked like there was an ""OK"" driver on the "last phase" ((the one that got "blasted")). Was that driver also "dead" from the shorting, or did You choose to use it as "replacement" for some other reason ?? Any way keep up the good work. Best regards

That's pretty cool, I bought a Galax GTX 980Ti for parts 4 months ago now I wonder if it's repairable. I believe the card either had damage to the power delivery or the card would produce an image but would crash under load.

you are real hero

No entiendo nada de inglés pero que satisfacción me da cuando se enciende la pantalla...

Wunderbar! Mein Freund!

It´s like living without a kidney! great job...

you are the King

What settings are you using on your hot air station (temp/airflow) when removing VRM coils? Man, you make it look so easy... :)

Hey nice work watching all yur videos Can u make a tutorial videos on checking resistance in various components as gpu and motherboards It will be helpful for enthusiasts like us Hope u will take my view into consideration

Hi, I really admire your work, especially not giving up on this GPU on your video, I would appreciate if you could shed some light on where can I find the faulth of my EVGA GTX 980 Ti, it does boot up, power is ok, but it only shows an image for a split second then goes to blackscreen. Some says it may be from VCCI or display output, some says it may be an openline from the memory chips, whichever case, I really would love to hear from you on what is possibly happening and any ideas to fix it please, thank you.

thank you

Guten Tag from Germany 😁😁😁

Hey, I got a EVGA 970 exactly like the one you fixed but it shorts the 12v out, 6 ohms between 12v line and ground. No signs of damage, one broken inductor that seems to have broke from mechanical shock, its not completely broken and should still work, it's for 3.3 volts I think, it's not from the phases. Can you help please?

Modifying the power limit in the bios to the spec of the remaining phases that should made it usable on load

Nice job bro

Hello, Hope you doing well. I have and Radeon 280x gaming 3G and when I plug it the GPU get hot and in about 10 stops and is not hot anymore. Any suggestions? Thank you

Excellent tech... Me like.

wow, that is a surgeon job! dude, if you underclock/undervolt, can you use normally? stress/ gaming? i did something similar on a 770 4GB, but for temperature reasons (original fans got broken, and was using 12cm fan) and worked just great, and FPS loss was not that significant
