Graphics Card Repair Services

GPU faults can be caused by damaged components, overheating, failing memory, shorted power rails, cracked solder joints, liquid damage, failed fans, damaged connectors or power delivery problems.

GPU No Display Repair

A graphics card may power on but show no image, fail to output through HDMI or DisplayPort, or stop the computer from booting.

  • No signal or black screen faults
  • HDMI and DisplayPort output checks
  • PCIe power and board inspection
  • Short circuit and power rail checks
  • Component-level diagnostics
  • Repairability assessment before proceeding

GPU Artifacting & Image Distortion

Artifacts, flickering, random pixels, crashes under load or distorted images can point to GPU memory faults, overheating, power issues or board-level problems.

  • Display artifact diagnosis
  • Image distortion and flickering checks
  • Crash under load investigation
  • Memory fault assessment
  • Thermal and cooling inspection
  • Board-level fault checks

GPU Power, VRM & Short Circuit Repair

High-end graphics cards use complex power circuits. Failed MOSFETs, VRM controllers, capacitors, inductors or shorted rails can stop the card from powering correctly.

  • No power diagnosis
  • Shorted power rail inspection
  • VRM and MOSFET fault checks
  • Power connector and fuse checks
  • Thermal camera and current-limited testing
  • Component replacement where practical

GPU Overheating & Fan Repair

Overheating can cause crashes, fan noise, thermal throttling, shutdowns or reduced performance. Some issues are cooling-related, while others are electronic faults.

  • GPU fan fault inspection
  • Overheating and shutdown checks
  • Thermal paste and pad assessment
  • Fan connector and control circuit checks
  • Dust and airflow inspection
  • Thermal performance advice

GPU Brands and Devices We Inspect

We inspect many dedicated graphics cards and GPU-related board faults. Repair depends on the fault, part availability, board condition and whether the GPU core or memory controller has failed.

NVIDIA GeForce GPU Repair

We inspect NVIDIA graphics cards including RTX and GTX series cards for no display, no power, artifacting, overheating and board-level faults.

  • RTX series diagnostics
  • GTX series diagnostics
  • No display and power checks
  • Shorted component assessment

AMD Radeon GPU Repair

AMD Radeon cards can suffer from display faults, power faults, overheating, fan problems and board-level failures.

  • RX series diagnostics
  • No signal and crash checks
  • Thermal issue assessment
  • Power rail inspection

Gaming PC Graphics Cards

We inspect graphics cards from brands such as ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, EVGA, Sapphire, Zotac, PowerColor and other board partners.

  • Gaming GPU diagnostics
  • Board partner card inspection
  • PCIe power checks
  • Repair quote before proceeding

Laptop GPU and Board Faults

Some laptops have GPU-related board faults, no display symptoms or graphics issues that require broader laptop logic board diagnosis.

Common GPU Faults We Diagnose

Graphics card faults can be difficult to diagnose because the same symptom can be caused by the card, motherboard, power supply, drivers, monitor, cable or operating system.

GPU Not Detected

If the graphics card is not detected in BIOS or Windows, the fault may involve the GPU card, PCIe slot, power supply, motherboard, firmware or damaged GPU components.

  • PCIe detection checks
  • Power connector inspection
  • Motherboard compatibility advice
  • GPU board fault assessment

Crashing Under Load

Crashes during gaming, rendering or benchmark tests may be caused by power delivery faults, overheating, unstable memory, failing components or driver issues.

  • Load-related fault discussion
  • Power and thermal inspection
  • Visual board inspection
  • Repairability advice

Liquid Damage or Corrosion

Liquid damage, coolant leaks and corrosion can damage tracks, components, connectors and power circuits on graphics cards.

  • Corrosion inspection
  • Board cleaning assessment
  • Track and component damage checks
  • Do not power on if liquid damage is suspected

Physical or Previous Repair Damage

Damaged pads, missing components, cracked connectors, broken fan headers and previous unsuccessful repairs can make GPU repair more difficult.

  • Connector and pad inspection
  • Missing component checks
  • Previous repair assessment
  • Repair risk explanation before proceeding

How Our GPU Repair Process Works

Bring your graphics card into one of our Wellington stores or send an enquiry online. We inspect the card and explain whether repair is practical before going ahead.

01

Tell Us the Fault

Let us know the GPU model, computer specs, fault symptoms, when it failed, and whether there was liquid damage, overheating or previous repair work.

02

Inspection

We inspect the graphics card for visible damage, short circuits, failed components, corrosion, thermal issues and signs of board-level faults.

03

Repair Assessment

We advise whether repair is practical. Some faults are repairable, while failed GPU cores or memory controller faults may make repair uneconomical.

04

Repair & Test

Once approved, we complete component-level work where practical and test the card before collection or courier return.
