What Is PCB Swap?

Sometimes a graphics card’s PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is damaged beyond practical repair — due to cracks, burnt traces, or severe component failure. Instead of discarding the GPU, we can transfer the GPU core and memory modules to a brand-new replacement PCB, giving your card a second life.

When Do You Need This Service?

• PCB is cracked or severely burnt.
• Multiple critical components are damaged or missing.
• GPU cannot be revived using standard repair methods.
• You own a high-end model (e.g. RTX 4090, 3090 Ti) where a PCB swap is more cost-effective than replacement.

What’s Included

Our PCB swap service covers:

• GPU core transfer to replacement PCB.
• VRAM (memory modules) reballing and transfer.
• Replacement of small components such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, and MOSFETs as required.
• Installation of new thermal pads and high-quality thermal paste for optimal cooling.
• Final assembly, testing, and stress benchmarking.

What’s Not Included

The cost of the replacement PCB is not included in the service fee. This will be quoted separately depending on GPU model and availability.

Why Choose GPU Solutions?

• Exclusive GPU specialist in the UAE and Middle East.
• Advanced micro-soldering and BGA rework expertise.
• High-quality parts and stress-tested results.
• Transparent pricing with clear breakdown of labour vs. parts.

What Is a Cracked PCB?

The PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is the backbone of your graphics card, carrying power, data, and signals between all components. Mishandling during shipping, improper installation, or excessive pressure can cause the PCB to crack. Even a small crack can break multiple signal traces or power rails, leaving the GPU undetectable or shorted.

Symptoms of a Cracked GPU PCB

• GPU not detected by the computer.
• Short circuits preventing power-on.
• Artifacts, instability, or sudden shutdowns.
• Visible damage or bending near the PCIe connector or mounting points.

Our Repair Process

At GPU Solutions, we specialize in advanced PCB-level repair. Our cracked PCB repair service includes:

• Thorough inspection under a microscope to locate cracks and broken traces.
• Micro-soldering and jumper wire repairs to restore broken connections.
• Reinforcement of the damaged area to prevent future stress-related breaks.
• Cleaning and testing all repaired traces for continuity and stability.
• Final GPU stress testing to ensure full functionality is restored.

Why Choose This Service?

• Save your GPU from being written off due to PCB cracks.
• Cost-effective alternative to full PCB replacement.
• Performed with precision tools and years of GPU repair expertise.

What This Upgrade Does

We replace the factory-installed GDDR6 memory modules with higher-density parts to achieve 16 GB VRAM. This helps with high-resolution textures, large timelines in creative apps, AI workloads, and future game updates that demand more memory.

What’s Included

• Board-level removal of original VRAM and installation of higher-capacity GDDR6 modules (BGA rework).
• Required firmware/BIOS configuration so the card correctly enumerates 16 GB.
• Thermal paste refresh and thermal pad inspection/replacement where needed around the memory area.
• Functional and stability testing (bench + stress) to validate VRAM integrity.

Compatibility & Notes

• Supported on select RTX 3070 8 GB reference-like PCBs and certain AIB layouts only. We confirm compatibility during diagnosis.
• Upgrade may require VBIOS configuration; RGB/fan curves/monitoring may behave differently depending on the vendor firmware.
• Factory overclock headroom and power limits are not guaranteed to remain identical after the upgrade.
• Cards with prior severe liquid/physical damage may be ineligible.

Service Cost

Pricing depends on the card variant and memory component availability. Replacement parts are billed separately and quoted before work proceeds. Our Diagnostics / No-Fix fee policy applies if the upgrade cannot be completed.

Turnaround

Normal repairs follow our standard timeline (typically 15–30 days). If you need it sooner, choose Priority Service for a 1–15 day target, subject to complexity and parts availability.

Warranty

Workmanship and replaced memory components are covered under our standard 90-day repair warranty. The warranty does not cover unrelated faults or modifications performed after delivery.

Ready to expand your RTX 3070’s VRAM? Book online — we’ll assess compatibility and provide a clear quote.

What This Upgrade Does

We double the RTX 2080 Ti’s VRAM capacity by replacing all original GDDR6 memory modules with higher-density parts. With 22 GB available, your card handles ultra-high-resolution textures, heavy creative workloads, and memory-intensive AI applications more efficiently.

What’s Included

• Removal of all stock 1 GB GDDR6 modules and installation of 2 GB GDDR6 modules (BGA rework).
• VBIOS configuration to ensure full detection of 22 GB VRAM.
• Thermal pad and paste replacement for optimal cooling.
• Full benchmarking and stability testing (Furmark, 3DMark, real-world stress tests).

Compatibility & Notes

• This service is specific to RTX 2080 Ti (TU102) cards with compatible PCB layouts.
• BIOS modifications are required for the upgrade to work properly.
• Overclocking headroom may differ slightly from factory behavior.
• Cards with severe corrosion, burnt PCBs, or prior botched repairs may be ineligible.

Service Cost

The final cost depends on the availability of high-capacity memory modules. Replacement parts are quoted separately. If the upgrade cannot be completed, our Diagnostics / No-Fix fee policy applies.

Turnaround

The time required to complete the upgrade and test for stability is 12 days. This can depend on the number of GPUs in the queue for repairs.

Warranty

All workmanship and replaced memory components are covered under our 90-day repair warranty. Warranty does not cover unrelated faults or later modifications.
