Story: This gpu was chipped, causing interference, flickering… and it took 2 hours to connect each copper wire. It looks like a harp, but luckily it still works fine.

Lotta people here won’t understand what went into this. Been a microsoldering tech for almost a decade and that’s a motherfucker of a job to do

Absolute madlad. You have my eternal respect. I would have taken one look at the broken traces, cry a little bit, and throw it in the trash.
Do you plan on reinforcing it?
Pacu99
Holy hell that’s impressive!

What happened to it in the first place?
KazefQAQ
Ok, 2 questions
1. What happened to the Mobo, it’s missing a whole chunk of PCB
2. How the hell did you manage to solder those traces back, this is some next level type of shit

Ugly? What are you talking about? I repaired copper traces just a couple of times (screwdriver on motherboard, old story) and that’s a fucking good job.
You just created connections out of nothing.
Now put a greaseproof baking paper behind that, put a little of epoxy resin, another oleated sheet in the front and it will give structure to your job

Yeah, this guy fucks. Respect!

This vs throwing it away, it’s amazing work…and who’s going to see it afterwards. Very impressive if you ask me 😛

I dont even do microsoldering myself, just watch the pros do it on youtube as I find it super interesting & even my eyes widened at the second picture. Very nice job to get it working again.

If whatever you do for a living doesn’t work out there’s always trauma surgery as a career path option OP.

Epoxy that
BlazeBuilderX
you have my absolute respect, must have taken HOURS to do that, maybe seal it in something like resin or glue?
Looks better than my soldering lol. Tho this is much smaller and on flex cable. And yes this worked with no problems. Also added solder mask to prevent shorting.

If you are kinda new to soldering, I take of my hat. Holy shit is that a crazy accomplishment.
Ive got skills in so many things, but this beyoooond my skill. from my experience I couldnt do that. Tell me how did you do that? Im seriously wanting to understand this, did you have a micro solderer and are you by any chance a heart or brain surgeron?

Incredible work, but I’m going to recommend you avoid biting your motherboards again in the future.

Intel called, they want you to hand assemble transistors for their new 2nm process.

You can trying hot glue. I use it to cover naked wires and works a charm. And best part is that I can mold the hot glue into the desired shape by wetting my fingers and then molding so that it looks nice

If god gave me this level of patience and fine motor control, I’d still be called a fucking scrub in CS lobbies

You have expensive taste in food.

Necromancy is frowned upon as a revival technique, but it does work.
