Hi everyone, i need some help fixing an msi r7 260x card, the card suddenly stopped working while being idle. There was a short on the vmem line (<1 ohm) on cold testing, but all voltages are present on hot testing, even on the vmem line (1.35v with chips and 1.5 v without) but all 4 vram modules were getting hot, i removed all vram modules(GDDR5 elpida, 4Gb each part no. EDW4032BABG) and three of them have about 7 ohm on vdd and 1 ohm on vddq and one has 18 ohm on vdd and 1 ohm on vddq, i compared this with another GDDR5 module albeit of a smaller size, it has a much higher resistance on vdd and vddq so i suspect that all vram chips are shorted, but I can't think of a reason to get all vram chips shorted at the same time. Also i think the card may still have a chance as it prevents posting (posting stops on the last step before beep) so it may still be trying to initialize, but its only my opinion, still need other's opinion.

Hellow guys,
I have 5 Asus strix 1060 with the same problem. No Singal, MATS Shows in every VRAM Read Errors. and i dont have present VMEM Voltage.
12V Present
5V Present
1.8V Present
PEX Rail 1V
GPU CORE Present 0,7v
VMEM NO Volts
PWM Controller
VCC 5V
EN 3.1 V
VREF 2.1 V
As far as i can understand or is a problem with the memory Controller ( in this case there is no solucion?) or for some reason the vram do not have Voltage. By the way i... -
Acer Nitro 5 LA-H501P GTX 1070
Hi. My laptop was water damaged and many things didn't work. I managed to get it up and working but had problem with GPU and at the end it turned out to be a faulty VRAM (Hynix H5GC8H24AJR-R2c) and I replaced it with (Samsung K4G80325FB-HC25) and it worked sort of. On standard drivers I was able to play fine but once exit the game laptop thrown blue screen “video tdr failure”. When I installed gaming drivers it worked fine ok, but when was running on a battery only was giving me blue screens. I think the problems is due to a wrong Straps... -
Board was fine when I put it into storage in antistatic bag, was helping a friend build a system with spare parts. Used a R5 1400 (tested) and it didn't post. Tried to downgrade bios with flashback, now no lights at all, just fan spins.
I saw a video of a similar issue on an Asus Mobo, long story short he has no VDDQ and it was due to a bad transistor driven by P_VDDQ_SIO_EN_10. I don't have any post card or ddr voltage tester but I can see I have no voltage at VDDQ or SIO_EN either. Am I walking the right path to fix this? Is the SIO chip bad perhaps?08-01-2025, 05:00 PM -
I bricked a 6700xt last year, and worked on it some. But I either broke some solderballs loose, or cooked the core or vram.
I tried to remove the core, then just a vram chip, and I couldn't do it, with my crappy little 858D hotair station.
So what do people on here use to remove vram, which shouldn't be too hard, or the core ?
What about 2 crappy hotair stations? 1 on 1 side, 1 on the other side ? What about a $75 hotplate from amazon underneath the PCB to help hotair?
What do people on a budget, use on here ? Besides a frying...02-20-2023, 10:08 PM -
The voltage of my Palit GTX 1070 Ti's Vmem is 0V. The rest of the voltage rails (including Vcore) is present.
The resistance of Vmem to ground measured at the inductor is only about 6 ohms. When I injected about 1.2V at Vmem, the core heats up to just below 40C.
Does this mean I have a shorted core?
