    Oh shit. Are we all finished soon?

    No I don't think anything that drastic will happen. At least not in such a small time frame. Also, there is right to repair and class action to factor in. However, it's a good idea to be developig new skills and services.

    Board I have here has a DC1627 on a 0084.... Hang on a fucking minute, I just realised it's a 0084 and not a 0001. Man, what a bag of bellends. The guy has not even changed the chip.

    There are good chips. If you have a good source and you know the right Cinaman and you have a few 10k bundels laying around.

    It's bullshit. This same guy has been hired and then FIRED by one of my good, long term customers when I stopped doing GPUs for a bit. Every board this guy did has failed. Let's deal with removing the VRAM edge bonding properly before we do anything else. Let's also not tell the customer we...

    Judging by the darkness on the VRAM side, they have all been done twice. From my expirience so far, a third time replacing the chip can be touch and go. Green dot on the chip. always comes with very dark caps zone 2 area and no solder mask on most of the traces on the BGA site. On a third party...

    Who else is seeing this terrible work carried out by whatever mongs have the audacity to exist on this planet. Before even removing the chip there are signs of extreme rapeage... This is a refurb by APPLE, not a 3rd party The Green dot: A little hint of what to expect under the chip...

    2011 GPU "Repair"

    i wonder if this will work on those occasional blank screen issues after fitting a new chip. When I see a board with a green dot of paint on the chip I know it's been fucked up so they get refused because most of the time they blank screen after a new chip. So far I have only had one other UK...
