4 Problems that Cause a Faulty GPU and How to Fix them.

And the whole thing goes Kabonkers Tech YES City, 2020

My friend spilled a soda on his cyberpower pc and the warranty provided him with a brand new pc. He gave me the “broken” 1050 ti for free, it was caked in soda residue and dog hair. I took the heat sync off and scrubbed it with a toothbrush and rubbing alcohol and voila problem solved. Now it works perfectly fine

This is madness, there's no repair involved, it's just sort of a cleaning with fingers crossed. There's no analysis, no documentation, nothing, just luck.

The idea behind heatgunning a pcb is to fix dead solder joints. This works best when you start with the back side of the pcb. "Toast" it for around 5 minutes until you can see a slight colour shift of the solder. Than put on some gloves and quickly flip the pcb to the front side. Give it another 5 min of heat and let it cool down afterwards. The dead solder joint should be fixed now. A good idea before starting, is to heat shield all caps. They are the components most likely to break during "toasting" a pcb. When the capacitors are shielded you can go all in with the heat, which is needed to increase the change of really making the solder reflow and therefore fixing that dead solder joint. Sry for my bad english!

My son got robbed buying a faulty graphics card and was crying, the next day I found this video, after watching I said you know what iv got nothing to lose, so honestly I went to my shed opened it up sprayed wd40 and melted it with my heat gun put it back together and back in pc and it worked, my son was so happy he's now got a £800 card that was broken now working, he now has the last laugh thanks to this video, absolutely priceless seeing him smile thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍

"IF U GOT NOTHING TO LOSE, U GOT NOTHING TO LOSE" That's so true and funny at the same time😅

I also felt like genius when i used these methods to bring back 2 of my ram sticks back to life.

Hi Tech Yes, I wanted to let you know I fixed my GPU with heat gun and I don't need to buy a new one for now. Your videos helped and saved me from forking out for an overpriced gpu especially when money is tight. I'm happy the 1050ti was out of stock now :D I heated the gpu to 150c for 5-8mins raised up on foil balls whilst protecting the other components with aluminium foil with a square cut out. A thermometer that updated the temp quickly was placed near the chip helped ontrol the heat. Left it for 20-30mins to cool down, put back together and now it's working better than ever! I read every comment on the Tech yes lovin GPU fixing vids and i'm happy you made them despite what the haters were saying.

Your advises saved my day. I had this Radeon 270X which was starting the PC but not any visual. I cleaned the rusty as I have examined hdmi port and now works like new. I had it on the shelf for 8 months and running pc from mobo VGA, and no willing to pay for an overpriced card. I support your channel and endorsements. Many greetings to beautiful Australia. Thank you.

lol i didn't know Bryan was bilingual, when did he learn to speak dolphin?

@7:29 happens when you don't clean the dust off your components and you live in a relatively humid area. The dust draws moisture out of the air and starts to create rust spots over time. Yea olde PC cases loved to do this on fan grills, especially the front grill that was hidden behind the riveted-on front panel. It may looks yuck with the yellowish tinge but it is just a very thin layer of rust.

Hello Tech YES City thank you for this excellent video. May I ask whats the name of the brand electrical contact spray cleaner you are using? Thanks!

Mad respect man, This method actually brought an Asus phoenix 1050ti back to life that someone gave me to me saying it's dead .... after months laying in my shelf, your detailed video on how to clean and use the heat gun on it was exceptional. Plus I had nothing to lose since when I first got it and tried it. It was completely dead to the point it stopped my pc from even booting up with a memory error. Keep up the great work✌

Just wanted to give you big props Bryan. Many tech tubers are turning into clickbait reaction channels, or shilling hard. To paraphrase Frito Pendejo, they like money, money's good. Meanwhile you continue to share valuable info with others like myself that do it as a side hussle. Your insight on hardware fixes, odd compatibility issues, etc. is invaluable to saving me time and frustration on troubleshoots. Gratitude! Good sir.

I'm imagining a maniac looking guy with the heat gun after this video going Kabonkers on the faulty GPU feeling like he is bringing Frankentein to life !

What multi purpose cleaner do you use EXACTLY? great videos and good info.. keep up the great work.

Excellent way to get the old cards working again! Kudos! Saves a lot of those cards going to the scrap heap/recycle plant.

In MSI Afterburner settings there a force voltage control and readout option for AMD GPU's. It works with good with older AMD GPU's that don't have software support to control the voltage. It can also force higher GPU and memory clock frequencies.

I actually had the issue with black screen and fans going 100% which turned out to be my motherboard power delivery. Thought it was the graphics card, so took a while to diagnose. Love the content as always.

Great video. I like the heat gun as I've used it before. I seen other techs use an ordinary oven and foiled bake sheet. Just cook a pcb for 10 minutes. Sometimes if you've beat a old transistor radio around, it's components get loosen up and need to be re-soldered again. Heat guns do wonders fixing them.
