Bad video problem with my M70Sa. - Page 2

No luck required! I'm back up and running!

After I finally got time to sit down and take my laptop apart I got the GPU out and put it in the oven for 10min at 385° and now I have my computer back.

This is the same technique I use to bring Xbox 360s back from the RROD so I know the oven trick works. Apparently the modern lead-free solder is plaguing more than just Microsoft.

Anyway thanks for helping me track the problem down. I'll post if anything happens or how long it lasts for. I'll be testing with some intense gaming to see.

smile.gif Glad to hear that you have it back. But please, no intensive tasks in long periods. It s not the same as with a new graphic card or board winknudge.gif

cheers ...

How might I go about uploading that pdf guide I used for disassembly? I'd like for others to be able to find it if they need.

Nice to see one successful breath into life more. Seen tens of success stories and just some misses. That ROHS compliant soldering is really a pain in the a$$. Sadly the results are shorter-lived but may be redone; I've seen 5 times success at least for a pal of mine.

Well I know its temporary but if I can keep going for free, minus time and effort, then thats fine for me.
Plus, as bad as I hate saying it, that stuff keeps business coming my way.

You can update your work here, and then referencing it with a post here

Same user iD and password should work
