Professional Repairer Fixes Cracked PCIe Slots on 19 Damaged GeForce RTX 4090 GPUs

A repair professional received 19 broken Nvidia RTX 4090 graphics cards, most of them with cracked PCBs. Repairing the cracked cards is not practical or economical due to the complexity of the GPU's PCB, which consists of multiple layers and electrical traces. The cause of the cracking is believed to be the weight and size of the RTX 4090, which is a heavy and large GPU. Lack of support and rough handling during transit could also contribute to the issue. The customer who sent in the damaged cards may have bought them cheaply with the intention of fixing and reselling them, but most of them are deemed unrepairable.
