I have a Pavilion G6 2260SM, it died in 2015 and it's just sitting 4 years because I've never found what is the problem. One day the laptop was just idling and on desktop background. I grabbed the mouse and the cursor didn't move, so it was frozen totally. The only thing I could do was to hold the power button to force shutdown. From that point there was no display when turned on. Going to shops that repair hardware, they just say: "Well, the motherboard died and you need a new one." It has a dedicated HD 7670M GPU and the CPU is an A4-4300M. It turns on, the fan is spinning, but no display. I just have a soldering station with a soldering iron, I do not have the heat gun. I could give it a try. Thank you for this video. P.S. I've heard when most laptops have this problem, when you connect an external monitor you get a picture, but it doesn't make sense to me. My laptop doesn't display picture even on an external monitor connected to VGA port. I was looking on my motherboard, I found the coil but I can't find R550, biggest resistor number I can find is R545 and there is no resistor there. Our motherboards are similar but not the same. Mine is DA0R53MB6E1 REV:E
Hi, Your board is different but it is almost the same method, you have to remove the same coil, but then the resistor change is from R466 to R451.... but i will leave a link to someone else's video that shows the process. Please tell me if it worked for you ;) th-cam.com/video/eISpiy5_b8o/w-d-xo.html Cheers.
Hi, hp board DA0R13MB6E0 REV-E PROBLEM CAPLOCK BLINK 5 TIME WIFI LED ON FAN SPINNING NO DISPLAY. WHAT WAS THE ISSUE? I CLEAN BOARD AND RESOLDER BIOS IC. STILL HV PROBLEM.
Hi, Did you flash the BIOS also? That's something you should do. There are a number of things you could try to figure out the problem, first you can try and reflow the graphics chip to see if that's the problem, if not then clean the memory and memory banks, if not then clean the CPU and you can even try reflowing the CPU Socket because there are some models that have that issue. I hope that helps. Cheers.
My neighbor has the same laptop with the same problem. But his does not have a dedicated GPU. I removed RAM, SSD, and connected it to an external monitor and nothing works. I'm assuming its a motherboard issue, maybe CPU.
sir i have the same issue on my hp pavilion g6 i wanna do the same thing but my shop repair guy says the problem is with IC of the laptop what should i do put w new IC or remove grafhic card
what he did is called dis to uma conversion, you can google it according to your laptop so you can find a specific solution according to your motherboard
bro i have a hp 2000-363nr laptop the when you turn it on the caps lock light blink 2 times i try to update the bios but when the hp start the process you cant see nothing on the screen no back light no display but the fan still spinning do you think i having that problem the you have on that laptop
A reflow only melts the internal solder to provide a temporary connection. . The problem is actually the inside of the chip, that's why a reflow or reball in most cases is temporary. Granted, there are cases where the chip is fine but the solder balls need a reball. A new chip will work if the chip is new or it didn't have any problems when the salvaged it. Normally it's virtually impossible to get a really new chip, almost all are refurbished, and the cheap ones normally come with issues. . It's always a shot in the dark, I would advise buying from a reputable source, even if it costs a bit more. Cheers. 🙏

You can't do this on AMD CPU equipped laptops. They usually have ONLY 1 Video adaptor that is inside the CPU. bad luck. Also, never buy laptops that come with AMD Equipped Graphics cards.. They don't last long.

You can turn on the laptop in safe mode and disable the amd graphics chip in device manager too. it will be easier. I too had the same problem and it solved the issue. If you do not disable the amd graphics chip, the os downloads the graphics drivers automatically and again you get black screen because the graphics card has malfunctioned.

Ok, so you disabled the separate graphics chip. (removed coil and jumper). So then it will boot just use internal INTEL / AMD graphics, as if there is any separate graphics chip present. Clever. Which this would be just a SWITCH on the hardware user-interface.... as the power button ;) Maybe an external monitor then after this fix is not possible anymore? Maybe.
Hi, I'm Sorry, but I didn't understand some parts of you message. But yes, the main Graphic chips is disabled and the shared Graphics chips that is part of the Chipset steps in to do all the work.

can you elaborate? so the coil powers the dedicated video chip? and what about the resistor? I guess schematics are needed for other models, or is there a way to track this if you know what to look for?
Ora boas! Andei a pesquisar por um problema no portatil da maria e fui dar com este video no forum do Linus tt ...ela tem um 2311sp que de repente deixou de ligar ou ligava sem imagem (mas entrando no windows) ou entao fazia o mesmo que a ultima mas depois suspendia ...por vezes ele liga normalmente e só nessa altura é que o botao de power funciona normalmente (quando liga sem imagem nem consigo forçar o encerramento) . Ha uma forte possibilidade de sofrer do mesmo mal que o do video mas o que estranho é que só as vezes isso acontece . Ja medi a tensao à entrada da board e chega la os 19.5~v sempre . consegues me dar algum palpite ou ajudar em algum ponto que me esteja a faltar ? Desde já Obrigado! btw: eu tenho ferro para eletronica mas sem pistola de ar quente...aquela resistencia vai ser uma m£rda para soldar XD
Boas, à partida se ele liga sempre, independentemente de ter imagem ou não, ele vai ter sempre os 19V na entrada... portanto, não deve ser esse o problema em termos de voltagem na board. A questão realmente é se o problema advém da gráfica ou não, e para tentar descobrir é puxar pela gráfica ao máximo, eu aconselhava sacares um programa que é free, e que se chama "Furmark" corre esse programa durante 10, 20 ou 30 minutos...etc... tentando fazer com que ele stress a gráfica. Em principio pelos sintomas que descreveste, deve ser a gráfica e trocar a resistência só com o ferro é difícil mas não é impossível, vai dar é dor de cabeça, ehehehe.... mas com calma tudo se faz ;) Boa sorte.
@@Fixepedia Ele nao liga sempre , por vezes liga com ou sem imagem , grande parte das vezes nem liga nem da qualquer sinal de vida (nem blinks). O programa que falas conheço bem (ja ando nisto ha uns bons anos) e a questão está mesmo por aí ... numa das vezes que ele ligou sem programa eu meti o a correr o prime95 para ver se acontecia algo mas não , correu 10 minutos sem quaisquer problemas . Está dificil chegar a alguma conclusao porque ele trabalha normal quando liga (com imagem) mas só liga de vez em quando
@@Danidasanic ok... mas sendo assim se ele grande parte das vezes não dá sinal nenhum mesmo, então pode ser proveniente de várias causas. 1º Alimentação (sem ser o carregador ou entrada, dado que já foi testado) pode ser algum componente no circuito de entrada. 2º Curto no chip gráfico (Intermitente) razão pela qual só acontecer de vez em quando... já me aconteceu mas é raro... normalmente ou funciona ou não, para testar (uma dica é dar calor tipo reflow no chip gráfico e depois ver se ele liga). Primeiro, para eu saber, eu teria que ver, porque há diversas razões para haver problemas destes mas neste modelo o mais normal é ser da Gráfica. Por vezes ao abrir o portátil podemos encontrar peças soltas, peças extras (Que foram lá parar, sabe-se lá como) e que poderam estar a fazer um curto circuito e ser intermitente porque a peça muda de lugar com o movimento.... Depois eu olhava para o dissipador e o estado dele, como disseste que é da Maria, eu normalmente aponto logo para avaria na gráfica porque elas tem a mania de usar os portáteis em cima da cama ou das pernas, cobertores, etc... e se for assim, o dissipador deve estar cheio e entupido. Se não ligasse mesmo eu diria que era BIOS, mas ainda assim eu aconselho abrir e fazer a inspeção visual e depois avançar no diagnóstico. De qualquer das formas, não se perde nada em fazer o procedimento do vídeo porque é perfeitamente reversível em qualquer altura ;)
@@Fixepedia basicamente tudo o que referiste foram coisas que reparei na primeira vez que o abri ...cooler em otimo estado , nada de pó e fan a rodar sem problemas , depois ela muito raramente joga algo no pc ou executa tarefas de load alto no cpu o que faz ser bastante improvavel sobreaquecimento , peças a mais também nada ..reflow acabei por fazer ontem à noite com a técnica no forno , tambem nao mudou nada ...tenho uma pistola de ar quente mas é das grandes , nao deverá ser muito boa ideia tentar soldar a resistencia com aquilo.. um componente lixado na alimentação (mosfets , caps , diodos e afins) seria possivel mas regra geral quando vao de vela" ou ficam com o circuito aberto ou fechado , dependendo do componente ..intermitente nunca apanhei . Neste momento o mais complicado seria mesmo testar com o igpu por causa da resistencia :\
Hi, Yes... it comes with the dedicated AMD Graphics chip, and it has a Intel Chip HD Chipset that i think in this case was a (Mobile Intel® HM76 Express Chipset), basically the method on this video is for someone that doesn't mind giving up their dedicated GPU Chip and just wants to surf the web, deal with normal everyday tasks, then this is the choice for you. This repair serves one purpose, that is to deactivate the dedicated AMD Gpu Chip and activate the UMA intel chip to be the primary graphics card. Cheers
@@Fixepedia I too have a HP g6 laptop with dedicated gfxc and it turns on fan runs but nothing on the display . When I connect charger it properly charges the battery . I tried removing the battery for whole night than pressing the power button for a minute than connect charger only but still it shows black screen ,I even tried external monitor but no luck , I removed CMOS also but still same . Power button glows white ,F12 glows amber but display is blank , only I can see a white led blinking on LAN port . And the laptop turns off automatically after a minute when it heats up .
Hi, If you have the tools to perform this repair, and if the board is the same i would highly suggest you try it out... you got nothing to lose ;) Hope to hear some positive feedback from your repair. Cheers
ok... Then that's gonna be hard... with a bit of patience you could try doing it with just a soldering iron but i will be pretty difficult... I would take it to a repair shop and ask for a estimate on this job. Cheers and best of luck.
Ohhh man,,too late to watch your video. I've already distroyed my motherboard that has a gpu problem like yours 😭😭😭.. If i only saw this earlier maybe i'm still using my laptop now.. How sad ☹️.. Anyway thanks for the tip. Now i know that we can bypass built it gpu if it gets toasted.
No worries man. . .it happens to all of us, sometimes we find a solution to some issues only after having checked a few before. . This isn't a widely spoked topic, so it's totally understandable that your board was toast. . Better luck next time 👍 Cheers and all the best 🙏
Hi there !! i was searching and searching to find a proper video like yours in ENGLISH so i can understand why/how this is done. THANKS V much !!! A Question if you have time to read this... A few weeks ago my RADEON GPU worked just fine sort of, sometimes while playing some older games like GTA SA i would get a freeze and machine would restart but nothing more. 4 days later i updated my HP's BIOS to the latest, and did a fresh install of windows... Here's the problem... since the update and windows fresh installation, i can't get my GPU to work again, i'm not sure if this is a software issue, hardware issue or that HP maybe programmed their bios to kill off all last surviving Radeon GPU's in the G6 Series, because whatever i do, that card is not working, windows reports error code 43 Question would be: Do you happen to know if this would be rather a hardware problem or maybe software ??? i tried all drivers available on the internet from A-Z and 4 different windows OS's and had the same result. I also own a HP G6 2303SQ Board that i can confirm has a dead GPU, since whenever you install AMD driver you would get BSOD making it unusable.
Robin SAS Hi, thanks for the great and kind feedback 😉 Yes. . . I'm gonna guess that it is a faulty GPU, from what you told me about the problem that it gave prior to the fresh installation and Bios update. And from experience, Bios updates always improved performance on the computers that I updated. I would open the computer and check and see how bad is the clogging in your heatsink. If its clean and your thermal paste is still good, then I would try to troubleshoot drivers, etc. . But if it's clogged and got dried up thermal paste then it's most likely the Gpu Hardware failure. Your other laptop is probably the same as this one in the video, try and see if you can fix it, and if so, come back with some feedback, I'll be curious to know how it went. Cheers
Hello Fixepedia. I think it might be a hardware problem, it drives me to believe that the updated bios might came with some instruction that diagnoses faulty hardware which in end prevents the issued hardware from working at all idk. Or it's end time just arrived... But i will as a last resort give it a try with a fresh updated OS and driver's. if it still won't bring nothing, then i'll just shutdown the GPU for better CPU thermals. ..sure going to be fun for me to switch that TINY little rezistor without damaging the board...with my "Soldering Gun" Some guy said i should just remove the COIL, but then i wonder why all the people in the videos switch the rezistors too, Well i'll be coming back later in the future with an update on this. BYE & Thanks for replying.
Robin SAS Hi, yeah. . It might end up being the best option. Yes, you have to change that resistors location, because it is a "jumper", and it is that sequence that determines if the Gpu is active or deactivated 😉 Best of luck. Cheers
Hi, just wanted to post an update on this. I've managed to Reposition that rezistor and to remove the coil. the rezistor was the hardest part, but i managed. About the temperatures which was my main goal - i'm not so sure that it helped, since i don't notice much of a difference in thermals. So if anybody want's to deactivate dedicated GPU for thermals only don't expect too much of it.
Removi o coil num HP g6-1090sp. Não mudei mais nada porque não encontro essa resistência na board. Ou seja fiz o mesmo procedimento que em th-cam.com/video/CZDJhhEqvNU/w-d-xo.html Apenas removi o coil. Infelizmente o portátil nem liga agora. Não e grave porque a pessoa que o usava já comprou outro, foi mais para ver se o conseguia por a funcionar só que fosse só a com a integrada no problem. De qualquer das formas deve estar a faltar qualquer coisa talvez a mudança de uma resistência, condensadores ou qualquer outro componente. Edit: após ler um comentário em baixo posso acrescentar que há led na entrada de alimentação, há 19.5V e no pinout do conector do switch de power estão lá 3.3V. não verifiquei no entanto se há problemas aí porque o portátil ligava até então. Edit2: experimentei desaparafusar a plaquita do power Burton juntamente com o flat cable e notei que o flat cable tinha um dos pinos um pouco descolados do plástico. Ou seja ao tirar e por este cabo acabei por perder a pega cor de rosa que vem com estes cabos. Essa pega ao descolar também descolou um bocado o condutor mais a direita do flat cable. Ao notar nisto espalmei um bocado o condutor e assegurei me que ele ficava bem colocado no conector da board. Experimentei de novo e funcionou 😃 está vivo. Agora e por um SSD e temos máquina nova 😁
Boas. . Desculpa lá aqui o atraso na resposta. . . Fico contente que tenhas conseguido reparar a máquina 😁😁😁 Ya. . . Às vezes andamos às volta e pensamos que o problema é mais grave do que parece é esquecemos dos princípios básicos. Acontece-me o mesmo, principalmente nos fixos. . . Andamos ali a trocar fontes e a medir tudo e quando vamos a ver é o botão on/off. . Hehehe. . Anyway, faz parte do ofício. Abraço.
@@Fixepedia o único problema neste momento e o teclado não estar a funcionar bem. Algumas teclas não regista ou então só regista depois de premir durante algum tempo. Não estava assim. Não sei se foi ao tirar e por o teclado várias vezes q se possa ter danificado. Mas o flat cable do teclado está bem ligado. Enfim se for problema do teclado por 20€ nem e por aí agora se for a jusante disso...
@@ANPEM tens de ver bem se não está nenhum pino torto dentro do conector, também podes limpar os contatos da fita e volta a experimentar e confirma se fica mesmo bem encaixado e que ele faça bem o fecho quando apertas o plástico de suporte no tal conector. . . Se mesmo assim estiver igual é porque é mesmo defeito do teclado, Portugal em regra é um pouco húmido, então acontece que os portáteis se estiverem parados durante algum tempo, é o suficiente para os teclados apresentarem sintomas estranhos e intermitentes.

Yes, if this doesn't work for you, you might try using a external LCD because sometimes that works. And maybe try and make a All in One Computer like in DIY Perks ;) Check it out... it turns out Great!

Take Care.
can you elaborate? so the coil powers the dedicated video chip? and what about the resistor? I guess schematics are needed for other models, or is there a way to track this if you know what to look for?
how about you explain what you do and why? with that info, it can be applied to others.
I was totally lost...
thanks for your video. this is a big help to me. looking forward to your next video, and me too i also try to upload some repairing video.
Thanks for the Great Feedback . . I appreciate it 🙏
Take care, cheers
That's cool solutions Man ♂️
I love your brains, you are a great technician and engineer.
Keep up the good job
Thanks for the great feedback and kind words ;)
Cheers
Ora boas! Andei a pesquisar por um problema no portatil da maria e fui dar com este video no forum do Linus tt ...ela tem um 2311sp que de repente deixou de ligar ou ligava sem imagem (mas entrando no windows) ou entao fazia o mesmo que a ultima mas depois suspendia ...por vezes ele liga normalmente e só nessa altura é que o botao de power funciona normalmente (quando liga sem imagem nem consigo forçar o encerramento) . Ha uma forte possibilidade de sofrer do mesmo mal que o do video mas o que estranho é que só as vezes isso acontece . Ja medi a tensao à entrada da board e chega la os 19.5~v sempre . consegues me dar algum palpite ou ajudar em algum ponto que me esteja a faltar ? Desde já Obrigado! btw: eu tenho ferro para eletronica mas sem pistola de ar quente...aquela resistencia vai ser uma m£rda para soldar XD
Boas, à partida se ele liga sempre, independentemente de ter imagem ou não, ele vai ter sempre os 19V na entrada... portanto, não deve ser esse o problema em termos de voltagem na board. A questão realmente é se o problema advém da gráfica ou não, e para tentar descobrir é puxar pela gráfica ao máximo, eu aconselhava sacares um programa que é free, e que se chama "Furmark" corre esse programa durante 10, 20 ou 30 minutos...etc... tentando fazer com que ele stress a gráfica. Em principio pelos sintomas que descreveste, deve ser a gráfica e trocar a resistência só com o ferro é difícil mas não é impossível, vai dar é dor de cabeça, ehehehe.... mas com calma tudo se faz ;)
Boa sorte.
@@Fixepedia Ele nao liga sempre , por vezes liga com ou sem imagem , grande parte das vezes nem liga nem da qualquer sinal de vida (nem blinks). O programa que falas conheço bem (ja ando nisto ha uns bons anos) e a questão está mesmo por aí ... numa das vezes que ele ligou sem programa eu meti o a correr o prime95 para ver se acontecia algo mas não , correu 10 minutos sem quaisquer problemas . Está dificil chegar a alguma conclusao porque ele trabalha normal quando liga (com imagem) mas só liga de vez em quando
@@Danidasanic ok... mas sendo assim se ele grande parte das vezes não dá sinal nenhum mesmo, então pode ser proveniente de várias causas.
1º Alimentação (sem ser o carregador ou entrada, dado que já foi testado) pode ser algum componente no circuito de entrada.
2º Curto no chip gráfico (Intermitente) razão pela qual só acontecer de vez em quando... já me aconteceu mas é raro... normalmente ou funciona ou não, para testar (uma dica é dar calor tipo reflow no chip gráfico e depois ver se ele liga).
Primeiro, para eu saber, eu teria que ver, porque há diversas razões para haver problemas destes mas neste modelo o mais normal é ser da Gráfica. Por vezes ao abrir o portátil podemos encontrar peças soltas, peças extras (Que foram lá parar, sabe-se lá como) e que poderam estar a fazer um curto circuito e ser intermitente porque a peça muda de lugar com o movimento.... Depois eu olhava para o dissipador e o estado dele, como disseste que é da Maria, eu normalmente aponto logo para avaria na gráfica porque elas tem a mania de usar os portáteis em cima da cama ou das pernas, cobertores, etc... e se for assim, o dissipador deve estar cheio e entupido.
Se não ligasse mesmo eu diria que era BIOS, mas ainda assim eu aconselho abrir e fazer a inspeção visual e depois avançar no diagnóstico. De qualquer das formas, não se perde nada em fazer o procedimento do vídeo porque é perfeitamente reversível em qualquer altura ;)
@@Fixepedia basicamente tudo o que referiste foram coisas que reparei na primeira vez que o abri ...cooler em otimo estado , nada de pó e fan a rodar sem problemas , depois ela muito raramente joga algo no pc ou executa tarefas de load alto no cpu o que faz ser bastante improvavel sobreaquecimento , peças a mais também nada ..reflow acabei por fazer ontem à noite com a técnica no forno , tambem nao mudou nada ...tenho uma pistola de ar quente mas é das grandes , nao deverá ser muito boa ideia tentar soldar a resistencia com aquilo.. um componente lixado na alimentação (mosfets , caps , diodos e afins) seria possivel mas regra geral quando vao de vela" ou ficam com o circuito aberto ou fechado , dependendo do componente ..intermitente nunca apanhei . Neste momento o mais complicado seria mesmo testar com o igpu por causa da resistencia :\
Esqueci-me de perguntar... Quando ele não dá nada, não dá mesmo nada? ou acende pelo menos a luz do Jack dc onde encaixa o carregador?
Thanks a lot, same issue here.
Hi, happy to help 😉
Cheers
@@Fixepedia After this, install the Intel HD 400 driver and working fine (maybe better than before). Thanks again.
Thanasis Kostenoglou Hi, that's great news, I'm happy that this helped. . Thanks for the great Feedback 😁

This laptop has dual GPU ?
Hi, Yes... it comes with the dedicated AMD Graphics chip, and it has a Intel Chip HD Chipset that i think in this case was a (Mobile Intel® HM76 Express Chipset), basically the method on this video is for someone that doesn't mind giving up their dedicated GPU Chip and just wants to surf the web, deal with normal everyday tasks, then this is the choice for you. This repair serves one purpose, that is to deactivate the dedicated AMD Gpu Chip and activate the UMA intel chip to be the primary graphics card.
Cheers
@@Fixepedia I too have a HP g6 laptop with dedicated gfxc and it turns on fan runs but nothing on the display . When I connect charger it properly charges the battery . I tried removing the battery for whole night than pressing the power button for a minute than connect charger only but still it shows black screen ,I even tried external monitor but no luck , I removed CMOS also but still same . Power button glows white ,F12 glows amber but display is blank , only I can see a white led blinking on LAN port . And the laptop turns off automatically after a minute when it heats up .
Hi, If you have the tools to perform this repair, and if the board is the same i would highly suggest you try it out... you got nothing to lose ;)
Hope to hear some positive feedback from your repair.
Cheers
@@Fixepedia I would have tried this but I don't have these tools .
ok... Then that's gonna be hard... with a bit of patience you could try doing it with just a soldering iron but i will be pretty difficult... I would take it to a repair shop and ask for a estimate on this job.
Cheers and best of luck.
Ohhh man,,too late to watch your video. I've already distroyed my motherboard that has a gpu problem like yours 😭😭😭.. If i only saw this earlier maybe i'm still using my laptop now.. How sad ☹️.. Anyway thanks for the tip. Now i know that we can bypass built it gpu if it gets toasted.
No worries man. . .it happens to all of us, sometimes we find a solution to some issues only after having checked a few before. . This isn't a widely spoked topic, so it's totally understandable that your board was toast. .
Better luck next time 👍
Cheers and all the best 🙏
Hi there !! i was searching and searching to find a proper video like yours in ENGLISH so i can understand why/how this is done. THANKS V much !!!
A Question if you have time to read this...
A few weeks ago my RADEON GPU worked just fine sort of, sometimes while playing some older games like GTA SA i would get a freeze and machine would restart but nothing more.
4 days later i updated my HP's BIOS to the latest, and did a fresh install of windows...
Here's the problem... since the update and windows fresh installation, i can't get my GPU to work again, i'm not sure if this is a software issue, hardware issue or that HP maybe programmed their bios to kill off all last surviving Radeon GPU's in the G6 Series, because whatever i do, that card is not working, windows reports error code 43
Question would be: Do you happen to know if this would be rather a hardware problem or maybe software ??? i tried all drivers available on the internet from A-Z and 4 different windows OS's and had the same result.
I also own a HP G6 2303SQ Board that i can confirm has a dead GPU, since whenever you install AMD driver you would get BSOD making it unusable.
Robin SAS Hi, thanks for the great and kind feedback 😉
Yes. . . I'm gonna guess that it is a faulty GPU, from what you told me about the problem that it gave prior to the fresh installation and Bios update. And from experience, Bios updates always improved performance on the computers that I updated. I would open the computer and check and see how bad is the clogging in your heatsink. If its clean and your thermal paste is still good, then I would try to troubleshoot drivers, etc. . But if it's clogged and got dried up thermal paste then it's most likely the Gpu Hardware failure.
Your other laptop is probably the same as this one in the video, try and see if you can fix it, and if so, come back with some feedback, I'll be curious to know how it went.
Cheers
Hello Fixepedia. I think it might be a hardware problem, it drives me to believe that the updated bios might came with some instruction that diagnoses faulty hardware which in end prevents the issued hardware from working at all idk. Or it's end time just arrived...
But i will as a last resort give it a try with a fresh updated OS and driver's.
if it still won't bring nothing, then i'll just shutdown the GPU for better CPU thermals.
..sure going to be fun for me to switch that TINY little rezistor without damaging the board...with my "Soldering Gun" Some guy said i should just remove the COIL, but then i wonder why all the people in the videos switch the rezistors too, Well i'll be coming back later in the future with an update on this. BYE & Thanks for replying.
Robin SAS Hi, yeah. . It might end up being the best option.
Yes, you have to change that resistors location, because it is a "jumper", and it is that sequence that determines if the Gpu is active or deactivated 😉
Best of luck.
Cheers
Hi, just wanted to post an update on this. I've managed to Reposition that rezistor and to remove the coil. the rezistor was the hardest part, but i managed.
About the temperatures which was my main goal - i'm not so sure that it helped, since i don't notice much of a difference in thermals.
So if anybody want's to deactivate dedicated GPU for thermals only don't expect too much of it.
Robin SAS Hi, did you manage to clean the heatsink, clean their thermal paste and put in new and quality thermal paste?
Cheers
Removi o coil num HP g6-1090sp. Não mudei mais nada porque não encontro essa resistência na board. Ou seja fiz o mesmo procedimento que em th-cam.com/video/CZDJhhEqvNU/w-d-xo.html
Apenas removi o coil. Infelizmente o portátil nem liga agora. Não e grave porque a pessoa que o usava já comprou outro, foi mais para ver se o conseguia por a funcionar só que fosse só a com a integrada no problem. De qualquer das formas deve estar a faltar qualquer coisa talvez a mudança de uma resistência, condensadores ou qualquer outro componente.
Edit: após ler um comentário em baixo posso acrescentar que há led na entrada de alimentação, há 19.5V e no pinout do conector do switch de power estão lá 3.3V. não verifiquei no entanto se há problemas aí porque o portátil ligava até então.
Edit2: experimentei desaparafusar a plaquita do power Burton juntamente com o flat cable e notei que o flat cable tinha um dos pinos um pouco descolados do plástico. Ou seja ao tirar e por este cabo acabei por perder a pega cor de rosa que vem com estes cabos. Essa pega ao descolar também descolou um bocado o condutor mais a direita do flat cable. Ao notar nisto espalmei um bocado o condutor e assegurei me que ele ficava bem colocado no conector da board. Experimentei de novo e funcionou 😃 está vivo. Agora e por um SSD e temos máquina nova 😁
Boas. . Desculpa lá aqui o atraso na resposta. . . Fico contente que tenhas conseguido reparar a máquina 😁😁😁
Ya. . . Às vezes andamos às volta e pensamos que o problema é mais grave do que parece é esquecemos dos princípios básicos. Acontece-me o mesmo, principalmente nos fixos. . . Andamos ali a trocar fontes e a medir tudo e quando vamos a ver é o botão on/off. . Hehehe. . Anyway, faz parte do ofício.
Abraço.
@@Fixepedia o único problema neste momento e o teclado não estar a funcionar bem. Algumas teclas não regista ou então só regista depois de premir durante algum tempo. Não estava assim. Não sei se foi ao tirar e por o teclado várias vezes q se possa ter danificado. Mas o flat cable do teclado está bem ligado. Enfim se for problema do teclado por 20€ nem e por aí agora se for a jusante disso...
@@ANPEM tens de ver bem se não está nenhum pino torto dentro do conector, também podes limpar os contatos da fita e volta a experimentar e confirma se fica mesmo bem encaixado e que ele faça bem o fecho quando apertas o plástico de suporte no tal conector. . . Se mesmo assim estiver igual é porque é mesmo defeito do teclado, Portugal em regra é um pouco húmido, então acontece que os portáteis se estiverem parados durante algum tempo, é o suficiente para os teclados apresentarem sintomas estranhos e intermitentes.
I've similar issue with HP 255 G6;
S/N: CND8117NNB
Model WY44EA#BH5
I would appreciate it if you can help.
Thanks in advance
Man u r converting graphics to non graphics uma....
Hi,
Yes. . Exactly 😉
Bruuhhhhh I bought a new motherboard for this piece of garbage and then the same problem happened. I press the power button and the screen turns on and after that it just turns off like a flash.
Can this be done on an hp cq62 and a hp cq56.
