  • My T42 has its video chip broken, can I try this?

  • well... it costs you a couple of hours, even if you have no idea like me! and yeah it worked my laptop is still u and runnin since then...

  • HELP!!!

    I did exactly what is done here now mine does not even turn on. something must have been burnt out..

    Please help!!!

  • you could have burnt some plastic crap... i had to fix pins of the speakers coz i messed em up! well what i did is that i took hi res pic of the board BEFORE doing anything so that i could check where the mess was! ...if that dont help , well you had another problem!

    have fun

  • Hi! :)

    Did you have to repeat this procedure after some time and do you use your t41 with great care or normal like before?

    I have a t42 and it's sad that you obviously have to deal with it like an unboiled egg although it's a thinkpad! :(

  • Hei, well i havent had to repeat the procedure since the first time in july... is not that i take EXTRA care but before i just did not take any care at all, so now i keep it in its neoprene sleeve and pay attention not to bend it when is overheaten. Worked fine for 6 months up to now...

  • Si funciono

  • alla fine sei riuscito? poi con quanti gradi ci sei andato?

  • Ma sarai invornito !?!?!?! Quando raggiungi il punto di fusione della lega saldante, basta il semplice flusso dell'aria per far volare qualche componente...e tu giri e rigiri la scheda e la sventoli come fosse una frittata...ma roba da matti...credevi di farti la messa in piega !?!?!?

  • @jonnyattack the graphics card has a thingy called power play. it will run faster if it is connected to a power source.

  • get a real job and buy a new laptop

  • wow that was too much hot..we the number one is okay that is extremely hot..

  • just reflow the gpu chipset..not the entire mobo....huhuhuhu

  • GPU reflow? more like the entire motherboard.

    I'm speechless...can you at least explain why you are heating the entire motherboard?

  • hey my t41 is weird, when i removed the lcd and power it up, it worked but when i put the cable on, the machine turn on for a few seconds b4 turning off, i wonder why i did the reflow gpu thingy and its still the same, any suggestions??

  • shaking it wont help lol
