A friend of mine bought a GTX 1060 on a carboot sale (aka. flea market) for some change. He cleaned it extensively, which wasn't easy, but unfortunately, it's not working (I wonder why).

Dawn leaves behind a lot of difficult to remove residue. Very bad stuff for electronics.

I'm back. See my profile comments.

Welcome back!

Likely needs a good clean and diag.

Thorough cleaning is done. One of the small resistors on the back of the GPU is loose, that's the most likely culprit.

Have you tried soldering back on?

How can you solder something so tiny? :eek:

Fine point tip. I've done it many times. Look up " Bit und Bolts " on YT. He does precision SMD soldering frequently. Good channel if you want to learn about detailed troubleshooting and repair.

This is the second patient in the same condition this week and I have to clean them outside with an HEV suit! Three more to go from the same office.

Yup, that's some standard next-level nasty. Luckily it doesn't look like smokers hell kind of thing and as such should have been an easy clean up.
