I checked both cpu and gpu vcore just to make sure they were present and both are. Figured its a dead gpu so I did a reflow with some chipquik and yep it came back to life for a few minuets and then when i restarted it the board booted up to a bunch of multi colored flickering squares. Into the...

No history on machine. But shows no signs of liquid damage.

tried it screen stays off

Yes I know its a pos Turns on fans spin and chimes no screen activation and obv no backlight i replaced c9560 no change l9010 has 0.459 on pin 1 and pin 4 any way to make sure its dead gpu and not something else? and any other things i should check or replace before its chucked into the...

Ok so the CP500D is on backorder at the moment. My question is the degassing and the digital gauges that important or make it that much better? What settings do you use to clean the boards?

No Title Yea burn is very deep. Believe it or not all that surface stuff was lose and even when I got to this point i was still scraping ash out of the board which was revealing more layers. RIP.

No Title This is what the area looks like once I removed it. All 6 pads have continuity. PPBUS_G3H short still present. I can see the exposed copper for PPVIN_S5_HS_GPU_ISNS might be touching the exposed copper circuit for pad 1 and 2 on Q8930. The PPVIN_S5_HS_GPU_ISNS copper seems pretty loose...

I have a FR810 and the digital adjustment drives me fucking crazy. I wish they made the same machine with manual knobs. Or at least make a different digital control panel thats quicker to use.

Bad ram / bad ram slot? Try different ram sticks in one ram slot at a time.

When connecting the magsafe the light is green for a few seconds and then turns orange. 17/18 is 4.4 27/28 is 22.0

Magsafe remains orange even when battery is unplugged PPBUS_G3H 0.165V - 0.217V diode mode it drops from 10.0 instantly to 0.3 PP3V3_S5 0.76V diode mode 0.529 PP3V3_S3 0.1V diode mode 12.16 PP3V3_S0 0.1V diode mode 4.1

Hello, I have a 820-3332 with liquid damage. I have never worked on one of these boards before. The only thing I can see visually is Q8930 which isn't looking too good nor is plane around it. I see what look like many little vias next to it which have lifted along with the res of the exposed...
