I bought 13 EBAY Spares or Repair GPUs... Episode 7: GTX 780 part 2. LER

Описание: LER #186 I bought 13 Graphics cards off four different Ebay sellers, all listed as spares or repair. They range from GTX1070 and R9-380X 8Gb cards to some earlier GPUs. This experiment it to see whether it is possible to make money from buying these broken GPUs from ebay.

Here is Episode 7 - this is the second part of this GTX 780 repair, you can find the first part here
   • I bought 13 EBAY Spares or Repair GPU! Can...  

In part one I found that the Vmem VRM was not producing any voltage, so I fitted a controller IC from a donor board but then one of the Vmem MOSFETs went short circuit. The replacement parts are here now so let's see if we can fix it this time.
