A graphics card that won't post, artifacts on screen, or shows VRAM errors isn't always dead. We diagnose what's actually failed and tell you whether a repair makes sense.
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.
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.
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:
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.
For business clients (PC repair shops, refurb operations, system integrators) sending volume work, see the B2B board-level repair page for contract terms.
Bench testing on cards that won't post or have lost video output. We work through the boot sequence and power rails to identify what's failed.
Diagnosis on cards showing visual artifacts, missing VRAM, or memory errors. Includes GDDR6 / GDDR6X chip replacement when the fault is on a memory chip.
Controlled-profile reflow of the BGA solder joints under the main GPU die when cracked joints are the identified cause.
MOSFET replacement, power-stage repair, and component-level work on the VRM section that delivers power to the GPU and memory.
Replacement of damaged HDMI, DisplayPort, or DVI connectors on the GPU output bracket using fine-tip soldering.
Fan replacement, fan controller IC diagnosis, and PWM connector repair on cards where the cooling system has failed.
