Hi all! I have a vega 64 card which has a problem with the 0.8v pex rail. The inductor shows 0.00 ohms when probed. I removed the mosfet, inductor and large capacitor, and the short only appears on the right pad of the inductor (closest to gpu). My question is, is the core dead or possibly alive?

Hey everyone! I'm new to the forum and to messing with computer hardware in general. I recently was able to repair my old RX580 and so my hubris took me to buying a cheap, for parts 1070 ROG STRIX on eBay and now I'm stuck. I should also mention that I'm a CS student and have no formal training...

Hey all, Almost 2 years ago, I picked up an Emotiva UPA-2 amp used on craigslist. Up until today it had been working perfectly, until without warning the left channel just stopped working. The unit has not been dropped banged or mishandled in any other way, so the sudden loss of the left...

After wussing out on following through with the delidding of my i7-7800x (socket 2066), Saturday night I pulled out the delid tool that has sat in my desk drawer since August, and I gave it a go. I was nervous and very careful. I read several of the guides that I'd found online, and watched a...

I tried to do a battery swap and my screen started to cut out after and eventually stopped working. Too much heat from the heatgun I guess. Don't know how else to fix it besides replacing. I need either a parts phone with a good screen or the screen assembly itself. I know it's a long shot but...
