@Muuny Yes I have tried on a dv6500 with 8400m nvidia chip! Bought a laptop for 40 quid for spares and thought id give it a try and its working fine again! One note though before reassembling run the system for an hour or so as i had to dismantle twice as the first time it appeared ok but after 10 minutes graphics went screwy again! to set it up mount motherboard in base with heatsink and fan installed u will need the top strip with power buttons on there should be 3 cables that attach to this!
@steveovbev then connect the monitor cable and then pop the battery in the back and you will be able to test the system (if you wanna use the system you will need to pop the hardrive and use usb keyboard and mouse)
I just finish with my dv6910us,and just 6 hours late I start do this proccedure again with another hp dv6910us from one friend ,with dvd problem(not present in system)and one usb(same,not comming in system)I heat entire motherboard especialy in the usb and dvd connectors,and now,after I reansambled,its working everything like never have anny problem.Thanks again for you'r indications.
Hello!It was fantastic but is true!I followed step by step the procedure and I made it.After one year of silence,my hp 6910us is back to live!Thanks so much!
Sorry for my poor english.Im from Romania(EU)-Constanta.
@tutino77 is not true!I made it just like him!I use one industrial heat gun according the procedure,and now I'm talking with you from my dv6910us...reborn!
well...it lasted a month, i just heated it for 45 seconds. Then I lost the wifi and finally the video. I heated it as long as you did a second time and the repair failed. I did it a third time per your instructions and succeeded. Ill see how long it last this time.
Ive tried this several times but always got the board too hot. This time i heated the back of the chip board then the chips for no longer than 45 seconds. I used a craftsman heat gun on high setting. Thanks... you have the best procedure for doing this and my board now has video and wifi again.
For those of you lazy fucks that don't give a shit like me. Go to your kitchen and if you have a stove that runs on gas (ie flames) just pop that motherboard upside down and grill the chip.. I swear that's what I did because didn't want to pay for aluminium and blowtorch!
Precision Division specializes in circuit-level laptop motherboard repair. All repairs are performed at computer controlled dark infrared rework station. The process is monitored by continuous ESD event detection.
And for you silly people saying it is a hair drier, once and for all, its a commercial heat gun he is using, specifically the Eddy Products Mark IV, and he is re flowing the solder using that heat gun, which is basically melding the solder where it might have lost contact. This should actually work.
Hair dryers, cigarette lighters and loose change have no business being used to fix motherboards.
A repair like this - WILL - work, but the repair is temporary and can cause more damage. Just put a DVD in and run it for a day - it'll die again - I GUARANTEE it.
The hair dryer expands the bga spheres temporarily,restoring operation. Once they get hot, they break again. Dumb video.
There's a good Q & A at PrecisionDivision . com that discusses this issue.
@geeksarenotcool if ur laptop doesn't work and after reflowing it, adding paste n copper, it works for 7 months now, then i wonder...who is silly??? me or u? of course this video is whatever....this guy doesn't know that hair dryer cannot get the temperature needed, 200-220 C degrees, he didn't use thermal paste and copper...but if u do all the above I GUARANTEE u won't regret it...
@Alexboooom this is an eddy industrial heat gun, it will get well above solder melting point, and will reflow a board properly , if you had thermal paste and copper you will get heat variance in the solder and might not cool properly or even overheat in some situations, this laptop worked and still works today......
I can't say that I've ever heard of or seen ANYONE want to heat up the entire board as you did in this video - That's quite a leap of faith that you're taking there. By heating up more than just the GPU, you're taking the chance of crippling a component that was otherwise working properly.
Also, by heating up the components, you need to make sure that you DO NOT TOUCH/MOVE the components while they are hot. IF the components move, even in the slightest, the components solder joints wont match.
@chrishultberg the reason i do the entire board is to fix any other soldering defects from the factory, its called preventive maintenance, it works , not all are 100% permanent but it is a cheap and easy fix sometimes for those who canot afford a new laptop
@hillbillytechshow The entire board doesn't need to be heated. Just the problem area - the GPU. Please be careful advising others to do things like this as its not anywhere near the proper way to do this
yes this dv6000 had video issues like that and it fixed it, its not always permanent the solder can get hot again and work its way loose the cause is leadless solder it doesnt dry and bond as good as the old solder
itis possible if the chip is not soldered correctly i have been suspecting that alot of motherboard problems could be due to bad solder joints and a reflow could fix alot of issues.
Hey, I got a everex stepnote with a Celeron M processor. On the back, I have to push on the video chip that has a Heat sink on it, When I pushed down hard on it, the laptop boots up, will this fix my problem if I try this method?
not is correcty

Hey hillbilly tech!
I assume you used liquid flux on the lower board when heating the lower & upper portion of the board?

@chrishultberg But heating just the chip with a pen torch is even riskier, because you can easily crack the chip
