GPU Repair Ottawa, NVIDIA and AMD Cards

What we work on

GPUs fail in patterns. The same handful of failure modes show up repeatedly across generations and across brands: cracked BGA joints under the main die, VRAM chip failure on one or more memory positions, blown MOSFETs in the power stage, damaged display output connectors, fan and cooling failures. Each of these has a specific bench approach.

On NVIDIA we see cards across the RTX 20, 30, and 40 series, as well as older GTX cards still in service. On AMD, RX 5000, 6000, and 7000 series come through regularly. Workstation cards (Quadro, RTX A-series, Radeon Pro) get the same kind of work when the fault is bench-repairable.

What we don't promise

Not every GPU is repairable. Some faults damage the card past the point where a repair makes economic or technical sense, and some failure modes leave permanent damage on the substrate or on critical components. We diagnose first and tell you what we find. If the card can't be repaired, you get a written explanation of what's wrong, and you decide what to do with that information.

The reason this matters: there are a lot of shops happy to take a card in, do an expensive reflow, hand it back working for two weeks, and consider the job done. We try not to do that. A repair we can't stand behind isn't worth doing.

Three common scenarios, three different pages

Different GPU symptoms point to different repairs. If you have a rough idea of what's happening with your card, the dedicated pages cover each scenario in more detail:

• Card won't post, no display, system doesn't see it. Could be the GPU itself, the power stage, or the PCIe interface. Diagnosis identifies which.
• Visual artifacts, missing VRAM, memory errors. Usually a failed VRAM chip. The work involves identifying which memory position has failed and replacing the chip.
• BGA reflow on the GPU chip itself. When the fault is cracked solder joints under the main GPU die from sustained thermal stress. A real repair with a specific application, not a general-purpose fix.

How it works

You reach out through the inquiry form or give us a call. Useful things to share: the card model (RTX 4080, RX 7900 XTX, etc.), what you're seeing or not seeing, and any history with the card. Then the card comes to the bench for diagnosis. We send a written quote with the repair scope and turnaround estimate, and nothing moves forward without your approval.

Business clients (PC repair shops, refurb operations, system integrators) sending volume work can find contract terms under board-level repair for business.

Shipping your card from outside Ottawa

We work with clients across Canada. Call or send us a message with the card model and the symptoms first, and we'll give you the shipping details. Pack the card in an anti-static bag with enough padding that it can't move, and include a note with your name, phone number and what's happening. When it arrives, it goes through the same bench diagnosis, and nothing moves forward until you approve the written quote. The full process is under mail-in repair.
