Graphics Card Repair

Graphics card gives no picture, shows artefacts or shuts the computer down in games? We diagnose the fault at board level and repair it if it can be repaired.

Graphics Card Repair

Service

About this service

Graphics cards work under high temperatures and power. Over time fans wear out, thermal pads dry and components in the power circuit fail. This leads to artefacts, driver crashes or a card that doesn't work at all.

In our workshop we work on graphics cards from fan and cooling service to power circuit repair, and from BIOS reflashing to board-level diagnosis. We find the cause by measurement and tell you whether a repair is possible and what it costs before starting.

When should you contact us?

  • No picture on the monitor or the card isn't detected
  • Coloured squares, lines or artefacts on screen
  • Driver crashes or the computer shuts down while gaming or rendering
  • Card fan doesn't spin or is very loud
  • Card temperatures are very high
  • The dedicated graphics chip on a laptop keeps dropping out

What we do

DiagnosticsWe measure the power circuit, memory and chip to find the cause.
Fan and coolingFan replacement, new thermal paste and pads.
Power circuit repairReplacing faulty MOSFETs, capacitors and power ICs.
BIOS reflashingReprogramming a corrupted graphics card BIOS.
Board-level repairComponent replacement and trace repair under the microscope.
Load testingAfter the repair we test the card under load for a long time.

How it works

  1. 01

    Tell us about the problem

    Describe your device and the issue through the service request form, by phone, WhatsApp or Viber. A photo or a short video speeds up the first assessment.

  2. 02

    We examine the device

    You bring the device to our workshop in Tivat, or send it by courier. We find the cause based on measurements, tests and, when needed, opening the device — not on guesswork.

  3. 03

    We explain your options

    We tell you clearly what is faulty, which solutions are possible, the price and the time needed. Whether to go ahead is entirely your decision.

  4. 04

    We repair and test

    After your approval we carry out the repair and test the device before handing it back. We explain what we did when you collect it.

Good to know

  • Faults in the graphics chip or memory chips themselves cannot always be repaired; we tell you clearly after the diagnosis.
  • A large share of heat-related problems is solved with fan and thermal pad service.
  • If the repair cost is close to the card's value, we tell you and discuss alternatives.

Frequently asked questions

Can a graphics card be repaired?

It depends on the cause. Most fan, cooling and power circuit faults can be repaired; with chip faults the options are limited.

What causes artefacts on screen?

It can be heat, a memory fault or a driver problem. We find out which with tests.

Do you work on laptop graphics chips too?

Yes. On laptops the graphics chip is on the logic board; we examine it as part of a board repair.

What does replacing thermal pads do?

Dried pads let the memory and power circuit overheat. Renewing them lowers temperatures and improves stability.
