GPU Repair Adventures

In this video, I repair a Gigabyte GTX1070 Mini graphics card. This card has know issues whit a few of its capacitors shorting out. In this video I replace these capacitors. The end job isn't very pretty but it does work. Just to be clear this is not meant as a tutorial video. This is just a discount Louis Rossmann stabbing a GPU to life with a soldering iron.
