it's hard to find an original working chipset

He has done chipsets before but soldering wasn't the problem. It was to "gamble" on the part not working. Apparently replacement cpus and chipsets all come from donor boards.

@@mikeh6286 HI, Yep, I have seen Sorin's attempts to replace chipset and the CPU. CPU was bent in one case and chipset was faulty in another case. My point is, if there is a problem with getting a working CPU or chipset, get a complete donor motherboard and de-solder/solder CPU or chipset yourself. To do this job correctly infrared soldering station is required as well as the reballing. I can hardly believe one can correctly replace such a big component with just the hot air and without reballing. Even if components (CPU or chipset) are 100% working, there is still a huge chance to fail the replacement anyway, if soldering station/ reballing is not used. This is why most technicians will not even attempt to do this job. its risky and time consuming.

thats the reason why they are the cheapest gaming laptops - they use the cheapest components and obviously get damaged the most

My 2004 Alienware caught fire before I could even use it lol...I bought spares or repair assuming the worst and assumed correctly lmao

@@lukedavis436 i repair board level for a local repair shop. I advise customer not to buy this laptop and not even replace the board. Once the 19v rail goes it takes gpu, pch etc with it. Most times the mosfet is bad. Replace it. Turns on, fan spin nothing. Cpu dead.

@@user-kr8tp3ko8z its common on alot of other laptops nowdays. The resistance on the cpus now can be 2-3 ohms. I see it on other laptops to but your right, the circuit could do with more protection. Even fuses after the mosfets.

Not for the prices of a used board, like $600 usd

@@anthonyscottferreira oh well...... better than no laptop

they do but in the split mili or so seconds that it takes the circuit to react, some of the power might go to the cpu, gpu or pch and thats enough to kill them

That's right, gaming laptop are waste of money

But the thing that I dont understand is why professional laptop doesnt have good configuration like gaming laptop? In my case, I didnt have choice because it was difficult to find pro laptop who can do video editing. Only gaming laptop can do correctly the job with correct budget.

​@@signor_No100% agree

​@@mangableusome ASUS laptop have good gpu but with non gaming laptop

True story. But marketing wins for the companies.

Or asus

skip gaming laptop, get yourself a nice gaming desktop and you won't regret every penny

shorted chipset are pretty much dead so reflow is pointless. The better solution is to replace with working chipset but goodluck finding one with working condition

Also replacing it is a big gamble, with so much heat the board can even bend one way or another which will make it uneven surface and won't make contact on the balls

This is not the same problem. The chipset is shorted.

@user-es8yf2rz2o: Design Engineering Department? Cost Analysis Department? Who do you think wins the argument in a manufacturing company? Another way to put it, let's let the "nerds" do their job. All the best.

that's why the company survive bro 😂

if it was so easy

😮

you joking, right?
