Graphics Card & GPU Repair in Irvine

We repair them. Most shops only swap parts. We do board-level (micro-soldering) work, so a dead GPU usually means a specific failed component, not a $600 replacement. Common fixes: failed VRAM, blown power-delivery MOSFETs or inductors, cracked solder under the GPU die (reflow/reball), dead fans, burnt display ports, and corroded traces from liquid damage. The free diagnostic tells you whether it's a fixable fault or genuinely end-of-life.

Diagnostic is free. Most board-level GPU repairs land between $120 and $350 depending on the fault. Fan or thermal-pad jobs sit at the low end. VRAM or power-delivery component work and reflow/reball run higher. You get a written quote before any work, and if it isn't worth repairing we say so and help you weigh replacing it.

That's exactly what the free diagnostic isolates. No-display can be the GPU (dead core, VRAM, or power delivery), the motherboard (PCIe slot, BIOS, CPU power), RAM, or the PSU. We bench-test the card in a known-good system and your board with a known-good card, so you're not paying to replace the wrong part.

Artifacts are the colored squares, lines, flickering, or texture corruption you see in games or even on the desktop. It usually points to failing VRAM, an overheating core, or a GPU die that's lost solder contact (very common on cards that ran hot for years). We can often fix it with a reball/reflow and fresh thermal work. If the core itself is gone, we'll tell you that too.

Yes. Whole-system gaming PC repair is core work for us. No POST, no power, random shutdowns under load, blue screens, thermal throttling, fans spinning but no display. We diagnose the actual culprit (GPU, motherboard, RAM, PSU, CPU, or cooling) instead of shotgun-swapping parts. See our custom PC builds & rescue page for build-specific issues.

We repair motherboards at the component level: no POST, no power, dead RAM slots, blown VRMs, damaged CPU socket pins (we re-pin LGA sockets), liquid/corrosion damage, and bad capacitors/MOSFETs. Replacement is sometimes the right call on older or low-cost boards, and we'll say so. But for a good board, a board-level repair is often a fraction of the replacement cost.

All of them. NVIDIA (RTX 40/30/20 series, GTX), AMD Radeon (RX 7000/6000/5000), and Intel Arc, plus older and workstation cards (Quadro/RTX A-series). Laptop/MXM GPUs and the soldered GPUs inside gaming laptops and handhelds (ROG Ally, Steam Deck, Legion Go) too. Bring it in, whether it's a desktop card, a whole tower, or a laptop.

Many fan, thermal, and straightforward component repairs take 1 to 3 days. Reball/reflow and complex board-level work that needs careful diagnosis and testing can run 3 to 7 days. We give a realistic timeline at the diagnostic and don't hand anything back until it's stress-tested stable.

Done right, yes. We work under a microscope with proper hot-air and soldering equipment, genuine replacement components, and post-repair stress testing under real GPU load before handoff. Repairs carry our standard 90-day warranty on the work performed.
