    MSI 5700xt not bootable after pad change

    Hello guys,

    Finally getting around to posting here after doing some reading and searching. I have a 5700xt that was running hot on the memory, so I decided to replace the pads. I plugged it back into a riser, and the x1 portion of the riser into the motherboard. I did not see at the time that it was in backwards (so A1 and B1 were reversed, gap facing the wrong way, yes i'm a goofball). PC unexpectedly turned on upon this new input. I quickly turned it off, and was unable to get the fans to even start after resolving that.

    So, now that my idiocy is aside, I have taken to measuring various resistances of the card to try and find out what is wrong to at least learn and understand if it is fixable.

    Attached are measurements of the pcie bus (12V rails, 3V rails), power inputs, and other areas of interest. I might even have some labeled wrong as I couldn't quite find things on the internet to confirm what I'm measuring.

    I'm wondering if it is the bottom right R33 2027 which comes in a little low.

    the fact that the fans don't turn on might indicate the issue is impacting the first thing the card does upon startup.

    Thank you for all your suggestions and help.

    Unfortunately what you have described (reversing the x1 connector) is known for killing gpu dies.

    The pins on the PCIE slot are the ones that end up internally shorting the gpu die itself.

      sapphire 5700xt NB691 buck wrong output
      by pedrolopesbe
      Hello there!

      So, I have this sapphire nitro+ that is a pain as there's no diagrams of this specific model anywhere. Put that together with the fact I'm just learning.

      This buck converter is giving me 275 mV output when it should give 1.8V, I'm not sure what exactly modulates this converter and I'm going to spend the day learning about converters.
      Could be a faulty one, but I've already replaced it one time, have just another one left. I don't wanna mess up the other one if this is something damaging the component when I turn the card on.

      Ah, I don't...

      Palit GTX 980TI working via a riser but not in x16 slot
      by mmx01
      Hi,

      Interesting case, I have a gtx 980ti which suffered typical drmos failure. I replaced it together with 12V PEX switching transistors, all blown fuses etc. No shorts on vcore, vmem, pex or any other rails.

      Yet the card does not give any sign of life when plugged into pcie x16 slot unless I plug it in via a mining riser?! I was troubleshooting it using riser as it is easier to measure etc. It worked so I assembled the card put in the computer and no post. When I move it to the riser it works again.

      Checked all voltages on PCIE finger 12V, 3V3 while...

      Razer laptop - won't boot to bootable media - very odd

      This is really weird. We got in a Razer laptop "Blade Stealth 13"

      It came in because it was in a Windows 11 auto repair/BSoD loop. There were no dump files present on the drive which was odd. I attempted to boot into a Windows bootable USB and after selecting the USB, I would get a Windows logo and progress circle, then the system would halt and I get a BSoD. Each time the stop code is different. I have tried bootable...

      Lenovo Thinkpad 20LT-S0KL1G bricked after writing the wrong eeprom
      by jordi90
      Hi,
      I was given a laptop with a BIOS locked by a password. I read that one way to unlock it is to read the EEPROM contents, patch them, and write them back. I was using the typical CH341A programmer and clip to do this, but because the clip is so loose, after patching the dump I accidentally placed the clip on the wrong EEPROM and now the laptop won’t boot.

      Can I do something to fix it? I’ve attached photos.

      Burned out PSU Corsiar HX1200 and NZXT C850, connected to wrong Molex/Sata cable from EVGA.
      by coinwizx
      Hi,
      Anybody has experience repair PSU burned out due to connect to EVGA molex/sata cables. I know the cable is not compatible (i got them mixed up), but I though i can connect it and use a PSU tested to find out which is the wrong sata/molex cables. As soo as I pluged in the powered molex cable to the PSU tester, the power supply short out, and will not turn on anymore. After the incident, the PSUs (both HX1200 and C850) try to power on and shut itself off immediately. The ATX PSU tester survice the short circult, still working perfectly. Anybody know if it's an easy fix or know which parts...
