Huge respect for anyone with the balls to reball a gpu by hand. Memory chips are risky enough alone. Excellent work.
Next level would be doing it by leg 🦵
I've watched so many of these videos and still don't really get how it is doable. 😆
@@northwestrepair if you really wanna push the limits, you could do it with your mouth too
@@JackPecker911😂
knowing how much dedication you put into your work. I would not be surprised if you pulled out a string puppet and used that to do the work.@@northwestrepair
That was probably the greatest fix of all GPU fixes ever, you deserve a bloody 🏅
I have a lot more impressive repairs posted earlier
@@northwestrepair i would have thrown that card across the room about the middle of the video
@@northwestrepairyes, here you basically knew what to do, those confusingly confusing are the most impressive in my opinion.
I almoast killed my gpu because of this lock. I couldnt reach it and it got stuck half way out.... So i had to use knife to press agaisnt it, if it slipped i would make hole into my MB.
Greatest and possibly most expensive fix that costs more than just buying new card...

As impressive as this is, it's nothing! Real programmers use a magnetized needle and a steady hand,
As someone with a hereditary problem of trembling and shaking, this is absolutely true. All of my sister, brother and including me have trembling/shaking problem with our hand, but I had it the worst since I even have it with my leg (or more specifically, calf). Nobody in my family can become a doctor or a Computer Engineer or just anything that have to do with a steady hand. We all got this from our father’s side, and my father got it from HIS father’s side, and my father’s trembling on his hand is really noticeable, if you didn’t know him, you would’ve just assumed that he was scared of you or nervous or something. I’m 26 years old now but my choice of profession is pretty limited, I can’t join the police nor military because my entire lower body would tremble if I stand still for more than 30 minutes, and I can’t join anything hand-precision related job, it gets worse when I’m highly nervous during an interview where they would ask me to demonstrate said things, like how to inject a subcu on the skin of a prototype doll cat, and my hand would tremble even worse, like crazy bad, people usually don’t say a thing whenever that happens, but I would guarantee you that they definitely laughed their ass off once I turned my back and exited the room. Although weirdly enough, nobody in my family have had a history of a parkinson disease, so I don’t know, might be too soon to say.

I would have never believed it possible to fix broken buried multilayer traces before seeing this channel.

I was an electronics tech before flat screen plasma and lcd was a thing. I have done PCB board repairs many times but never anything to this level. Multi layer PCB is well beyond anything I ever done. Certainly high level repair work done here. I was that dog in your video watching this. Unbelievable your able to repair such intricate tracing structures. Man you are amazing ! I was faced with socket damage on a Godlike Z690 LGA 1700 series. The CPU slipped out of hand and was dropped into the socket bending multiple pins. At least 40 pins was mashed in different locations. I was able to fix the pins using a burred medical needle as that was the finest point I could use as a tool. Hours spent resurrected the board and stress tested to ensure heat would not cause pins to lose connection. I thought I was pretty good until I seen this. Awesome work !
Not to take anything away from what you are saying about northwestrepair, from someone who only JUST managed to safely exchange his graphics card, what you did sounds amazing. Well played!!
hey 40 pins is impressive asf
but why is he grinding off part o the board that doesnt plug into anthing? doesnt he know that tab is just for alignment?? lol the gold strips are the only parts that actually coonects........ so as a pc tech of 35 years I'll tell ya most common causes of gpu death, over voltage or spike .. (kill caps on card) or its just given up cuz its old (rare these things last decades ON fulltime :-)
@@HarmonRAB-hp4nk Repair of broken tracings. That PCB is a multi layer board meaning not only tracings on either side of the board but also sandwiched in between. It will have at least 3 sets of tracings. To repair the inner tracings he has to grind away the board to get at them and bridge the breaks.
Most people would just eat the loss, I'm SUPER impressed that someone is able/willing to save these expensive/hard to repair things.
Beautiful work. It warms my heart that someone with your level of skill is out there and willing to dive deep into GPU repairs as you do and not just send it off to be “e-waste” if it’s not particularly profitable to approach the repair.
I bet it is profitable to repair, or at least make videos about repair.

How much is Labor cost. Might as well get a new card?
sorry, how could this level of expertise, the time invested plus all the equipment and the material used still make economic sense? how long can someone like him work on a gpu like this before the meter hits $1,000?
@@embreis2257 This... This right here is the proper question. The skill, equipment, time... has to be $100 an hour if not more. How many hours to fix? At some point, just as you stated, it becomes a lost cause due to time invested. On top of that, I wouldn't want my repair dude just hustling through a repair to ensure the bill isn't more than the card is worth to re-buy.
Wow! did not even think a repair like this was possible, at least not at this level.. bravo and thank you for pushing the boundaries of what can be done at home in a work shop.
He does seem to have some pretty specialized tools, though.
@@Plant_Parenthood not just specialized tools but incredible knowledge on how these boards work and micro-soldering skills on a level not seen often, this man is a very skilled technician
This man is a National Treasure. He must be protected at all costs.
Agree.
Just by seeing these can be repaired makes a huge impact.
I gotta know how much a repair like this costs
Not really interested in doing any of this but it is fascinating to watch someone really good at something do that thing.
Yeah I'll never attempt repairs (no steady hands), just love watching a professional at work
Same.
I'm cursed with being incredibly interested in this while knowing I will never be able to fathom the complexities.
@@nickgreenhow5513 he'll get there eventually. Gotta wait at least 10 years and people will be walking with computer chips implanted in their brains
It blows my mind that your could do this much labor on a card and have it be worth it rather than just replacing the card. I would assume 10-15 years ago problems like this both didn't happen because of limited complexity at the time and were not worth it at all with the lower cost of the components at the time. But today, your GPU is 50% or more of your whole system.
this is the level of stuff that was saw only saw on console repair shops when i was a kid
The PCB was always kind of complicated. It just got more complicated. Though it was a similar level of complexity 10 years ago. That was when we had 290x cards and Maxwell GPUs.
You never had so much weight dangling on the PCI-E slot....
Tech changing so fast then also made it not worth it, if your GPU died a year later a new card had new features and performance that made it not worth repairing stuff all the time.
15 or 20 years ago you would be better just saving your money for another 3 to 6 months and buying the newer or cheaper tier card that equalled or blew the high end into the water
Dude…far out that is a repair for the ages. Well done. Quality of the video matches the repair too. Nice. Thanks for posting.
JFC this is amazing, all of your videos are amazing to watch. I love when people can fix stuff.
Protect him at all costs, the patience he has is astonishing 🔥🔥
Being able to do these repairs is about as impressive to me as watch-making - perhaps more so because watch-making/-repair doesn't involve having to deal with electronics. But in both cases it's near incredible to me that people are able to fix these things. And it's also a bit frustrating, since it highlights the fact that lots of stuff we simply throw away could be repaired and then still be used. Same with mechanical watches where some cheaper movements are cheaper to replace with a fresh one than having the old one serviced or repaired.
You had a stroke reading this

@@nimamaster6128Nah bro you're just illiterate
@@nimamaster6128 Anyone who had a stroke reading this can't read.
@@nimamaster6128 why, are you used to incorrect orthograph everywhere or is it because it's a wall of text?
I didn't know people like this existed, or that GPU repairs were actually a thing. My understanding is that if you can't RMA a card under the 3 yr warranty, into the scrap pile it goes. One of the most impressive feats of craftsmanship I've seen in a long time!
There‘s hardware components that are dozens of times as valuable as this, you think companies just toss those if one breaks? Nah, of course there‘s specialists to fix what‘s fixable, and now that consumer grade components are starting to reach well into the four digit price range, it becomes increasingly worth fixing whatever is possible too.
he maybe work for company before because just few people can fix gpu properly without experience
It's not that people can't repair them, it's just that it's way too expensive to do so, so you might as well get a new card for the same/cheaper price. The only exception is people who do it as a hobby or people who have a youtube channel that gets decent views and can economically justify the repair that way lol.
@@niwohtrue
OMFG - Seeing this repair was jaw dropping for me . I'm an electronic hobbyist and occasionally work with soic's but I had no idea humans could remove and resolder these incredible small and complex chips! I always thought that after their initial automated assembly that was the endo of the line (if issues- = swap out board).
You must be getting these boards extremely hot...I was amazed.
I found your repairing videos therapeutic, the humor and memes top it all 😄. I own a small computer shop and also do repair stuff but not on your level, im learning more each time from your videos. Kudos!
Very nice to see subs rise, 1000 in a day I believe!
Props to youtube recommendations, I never watched any GPU repair videos, but youtube recommended it to me, and I'm now hooked for months!
Just seen one of your videos for the first time and I am like awestruck by your work. Totally amazing! The look on my face was like the dogs!
this is AMAZING, if I can have my meal time while watching this video, this channel just deserves WAAAAAAY more views and subs. 10/10 fixing dude!
Holy moly I never knew how advance and crazy the engineering behind just a gpu is! Thanks for doing this kind of work, literally a talent very few have or care to do
If you think the engineering that goes into the board is complex, wait until you see what goes into the GPU die itself. The board has thousands of components routed in tens of layers. The die has billions of components routed in hundreds of layers.
Lol why you think US and china are fighting over taiwan ??? Why world’s top country want chips to be made in their country and why 2nd powerful country can’t do itself and want to take over taiwan , the level of engineering involved in CPU,gpu making is crazy crazy , billions of dollars are need to setup a single plant and that only for some years and then repeated again . Many countries have nuclear weapons many are close to one but only 1 or 2 have the tech to makes the chips .
It's amazing to see the dedication to repair here. So much skill and effort to fix the GPU.
This is utterly fascinating. Video well edited too. I'm subscribing.
Awesome, thank you!
I wish I found this channel sooner! I had a pile of 20 series GPUs that have been pulled from systems I had sold under warranty. I usually just ate the price of a new card out of pocket, and threw away the dead or artificing cards. Even cards that still had mfg warranties the RMA process is usually such a hassle I swap and throw away.
I know a thing or two about electronic repairs and would never touch anything as complicated or time consuming as that. That was a great repair, top marks!!
It's always amazing to watch. I love your setup!
Wow, that was honestly an amazing repair. I know the realtime version would be hours long but I for one would love to see it, if for nothing else but to see the amazing steady hand soldering work on the ram chips. I was always convinced that when a memory chip went bad. . . that was it. . . :D Brilliant :D
That repair was incredible to watch. Simply mesmerizing.
Awesome choice of background music too.
Definitely subscribing.
Dude I absolutely love all your video's. You're the big reason I started getting into repairs so much 👌
I watched the entire video pretending I knew exactly what he was doing.
these little memes you are throwing into your videos along with the music is so good. yiu have great taste in humor lol
I'm just awestruck by your skills. That was phenomenal. Well done indeed.
Solid repair, you just blew me away with your excellent attention to detail and also the in-depth view into your epic methodology with regards to reviving this Solid GPU! 👍
I'm telling y'all this is the most relaxing channel I found in CZcams. whenever I get stressed, I watch northwestrepair doing his magic. hope he continues for many years to come.
I’ve was sent to your channel today which I love. You are the real tech goat most these guys just say “gpu chip problem deemed this as no fix” 😂 you on the other hand show how delicate and hard this work is
Awesome and amazing repair job! What I don't understand is how the pads under the GPU got torn if the tab on the card edge was damaged, unless the card as a whole was flexed (drooped) while mounted sideways. This is probably the most common cause of mechanical GPU issues - drooping and flexing. I think it's time we return to the old horizontal PC case form to eliminate the stress on these 3 fan cards.
It is better to remove the pci-e safety pin if you had this kind of pin and hulk size gpu. Or mount your GPU vertical using riser.
It is also pretty much a common knowledge to remove GPU if you plan to move your PC.
Or use a computer case that orients motherboard so the PCIe slots are on top rather than on side or back. I have Thermaltake Tower 500, the video card just "hangs" off the slot so there's no unusual stress on the side of PCIe slot. But I do hate the PCIe locking lever, it's a pain in the butt to reach under fat GPU and reach the lever to release the video card. Those were fine back in the old day when video card were just single slot, the early PCIe cards and AGP cards.
Yeah or lay the Case on it's side, then almost nothing can happen to the graphics
card and the heatsink of your CPU.
Never seen a graphics card that is so destroyed as what this one was, it looks
to me that the case were the graphics card was in, has fallen from something
on the ground, have had MANY graphics cards and never have had this, not even
in my days i went to Lan party's.
I have made many PC's now, and never had a PC that broke down.
There shouldn't even be a safety pin anymore, or at least design it in such a way that it's easy to release when a mid-size or large GPU is installed.
@@madmatt2024 My last two motherboards just tore out the lever when I tried to release them. Why install them if they can't be removed by pressing down on the lever? Asus and Gigabyte boards.
just dont use the safety pin .....will keep it safe ..
Wow, i am blown away at how you manage to fix these cards. How long did it take you to learn all of this?
This was insane to watch, kudos to you Sir for a very well executed job!
This is amazing to watch. Props for the component repair... that is over my head.
Excellent repair, and Great video.
Only issue is that my eyes and brain ran out of buffer space to process the quick motion sequence at 9:21, and then some nausea ensued 😂
and to think, they want to put the power connector next to that lock tab hah.
with how big and heavy modern gpus are, its an absolutely terrible idea.
Watching you repair these GPU's is mesmerizing. Some times I think he didn't speed up the video, this is his normal work speed. 🙂 If I ever need a GPU repaired I'm sending it your way. Going by the name of your channel I'm thinking your pretty close by where I'm at in the Spokane, WA. area. Amazing work. Thanks for the video.
Man. Just started following you now! Amazing work! I fix graphics too but my knowledge is far away from yours! Learning too much here in your channel! Congrats!
You certainly have the skills, and I'll definitely be sending my GPUs if ever need be.💯💯 However, the real question is what is the repair cost vs. retail cost usually? With a skillset this highly developed, I can guarantee repair ain't cheap (probably be worth it for a rare or expensive card). I'm just wondering how on Earth this could be cheaper than just getting a new card when speaking of lower tiered GPUs. Damn fine work though!
Reading my mind
His prices are quite fair (80-100$ don't quote me on that tho), at least that what he and his customers say in the comments. I mean he still fixes 1070's and made community post about testing AGP Graphics card so....
@@zetsubou3704nice! Wow
It's obvious that you have low tier trash there is little reason to try to fix that
If only electronics were made to be repairable more easily. Big fan of your channel helping to reduce e-waste and save consumers money. Absolute legend. You and Rossman Repair Group are the shit. Keep it up dude
Most of new electronics are easy to break. They are not meant to be like that strongeest by the developer. So they can sell it again or repair it bring money
There's not much you can do with PCB to improve repairability. Only way is to improve design, so that critical connections don't run in fragile parts of the board (or just don't make 3KG GPUs).
The heaviest thing on GPU is the cooler@@Antagon666
Subbed, your editing is with the memes iz hilarious and your technical skills are mesmerizing. Hope this blows up
Absolutely impressive and incredible work. Wow. Just wow.
I know gpus are complex machines, but i wonder why every company decides to use those spaces as anything more than structural pieces... Like the pcie catcher tab must be the weakest stressed component on any card, it must be just as a F you, you damaged it so now but another card kinda move... Disgusting, and isnt like they can do much with that part either
I don't know...maybe don't run any traces through that part of the pcb and maybe reinforce that section...just a thought.
You have gone completely mad,these ideas are ridiculous
Ikr? Like suggesting the back plate of the card is merged with the brace so the whole thing doesn't sag like a sideways house brick teetering on a ledge?
WOW! just WOW! that was another level of repair, i was that dog throughout the video some real next level repair magic, amazing to watch, keep up the fantastic work, never seen repairs taken to that level before, simply incredilble....
That was an awesome video man lmao those meme cutscenes got me pretty good
Absolutely wizardry. Curious how many true hours of labor this takes. Looks like several hours even with your skills snd equipment.
Also, I'm glad to be out of the PC gaming race, these giant cards always seemed nuts to me, and now they're showing that my feelings are right. A little Framework board with a desktop case does all I need it to.
How any person on this planet can have the patience to resolder those hundreds of little solder blobs on the PCB is absolutely beyond me.
I couldn’t do 10 and would go insane (besides not having the ability to work on this micro scale)
Hundreds? Try thousands. The GPU die itself has about 3600 contact pads :)
Love the comedy editing this video :) the poor doggos mind was blown as well as mine.. Amazing repair as usual!
Oh… so you are one of the few ACTUAL pc repair people left in the world.
Hats off to you.
Wow... you reballed the GPU. You're the man. I've only seen the AMD guys do that in their lab when they are trying to put their best cores on the best PCBs for overclocking competitions.
This literally just confirmed my worst fear about that stupid clip that PCI-E slots have. A lesson in patience when working on computers: don't rush and never try to rip your card out of its slot.
Man, your channel needs more attention. This was an amazing work!
Having watched several of your videos i find most of what you do totally memorising and impressive beyond a level I simply cannot express. Ive been an avid gamer 25+ years and owned numerous cards throughout this time. So my question to you is the following.... if the average person in the street is looking to purchase a new/second hand GPU is there a series/brand/manufacture you could recommend that was made to a good standard and generally has less problems then some of the apparent new/problematic current range of GPU's currently for sale ? Thankyou for your time and honest opinion.😊

Youre a mad man for that, what was that gloss you kept putting on the card as you were working and wiping with the cotton swab? cool vid
watching these videos really has me anxious for the day i take out my gpu for either an upgrade or a clean.
