I've learned new today, heating a Graphics chip that still connected to heatsink from the back of the board with 500 degrees C heat. Thanks for sharing your knowledge Sorin.

I'm really happy that I managed to fix a laptop before a minute just like that. You are the best!

on th mess of his workbench you can recognize the genius

I just fix a graphics issue today using this method all thanks to the boss may God Bless you and keep you

Your the best technician ever sir Sorin. I salute on you.. i'v watch every video that you upload.. your the best man.. your the best. and i want to be like you..

Thanks Sorin.i have manage to bring this laptop to life in the same way the only problems is the new fan that starts and stops continuously.

At least he admitted that its a temporary fix at best

thanks for this video, just what I needed to know. only mine is a Compaq Presario cq61 model. it starts and has the error code for the graphics chip. but no picture. sent it to a place called bullhead city geeks for repair after 3 attempts and $395.-00 later and the laptop has sat for 5 years waiting for a good repair. now I know I can do it myself ....thank you for this video again.

Your working bench is very well organised can find everything quickly

I had the same model laptop and had to do exactly that, but i baked the whole motherboard in the oven instead. I had to do that several times before the laptop eventually died.

I don't know why I remembered Metro 2033

You know this guy means bussines when he has a nivea bottle and a tooth brush on his workbench 🤯 Edit: 2 BOTTLES OF NIVEA!! (Im scared)

Sorin, thermal pads are next to nurofen 😁

petition for electronics repair school to tidy up his dam room

It really cool the way you have solved the issue

"First lets check the fan, the graphics chip usually dies from over heating" yup can confirm, my wifes laptop fan was totally full of fluff when i pulled it apart after the display went all funny

Nice video - and thank you for sharing your insight about what is really wrong with these gpu - the problem is in the chip not the bga solder pad. But then why did you heat the gpu from the bottom? If you reflow the gpu from the top where actual silicon is exposed, then it will take lot less heat and is safer. I did mine at 330 deg c/ 50 seconds from the top and it worked fine.

Put a copper shim on there also - reduces heat on the graphic chip and CPU - suggestion only

They should put the GPU on socket just like they used to do for CPUs. But nowdays they put everything on BGA, that is planed obsolescence , it is by design.

You swapped the RAM to see if the one in the first slot was bad? Your videos are great, thanks for taking the time to teach these skills.

My computer turn on without ram with green light but no dispray also if you put ram turn on without a picture like ram when removed what's the problem with my desctop? Help please

This fix will be work a couple days or couple moths, permanently fix and for a long time period is a reball the chip with new balls or beter new chip and new balls, but keep up good work

Hello 2 questions: how do you recognize which screw do you need for each hole? And what is the model of your compressor? Thanks

If the graphics chip is faulty, and the CPU has integrated graphics, can I basically remove the graphics chip and let the integrated graphics on the CPU do the job?

If the motherboard fail beacause of gpu you can also disable it by removing gpu voltage regulator but only if its discrete graphics chip (with integrated intel graphics card on cpu)

Copper shims work real good also of absorbing the high heat

another fantastic video !!!!

Thnx sorin .. i have a question : what's the purpose of heating up the chip ? How can this bring it to "life" ?

Nice work. I have the same laptop and the screen is white when I turn it on. What’s the problem?

Your unorganized screws really gives me anxiety! This is how spare parts appear.

If only reflowing was a permanent fix. It's all rubbish, even reballing. It will last a few months before it fails again. The GPU is dying, it needs replacing. The Dell 5010 is the worst laptop I have ever seen for GPU failure. The 5010 does run quite hot, often the cooling fan doesn't kick in until around 65-70 celcius, this isn't the case on similar Dell models such as the 5030. 5040 and 5110 where the fan steps in around 55-60 celcius.

But why did u heated up the back of the chip, and then took the heat away? You tried to see if the fan will start, or you wanted to re-melt the chip soldering? So the fan didn't start, what that meaned? Then you decided the old thermal is not working well? Where is the thermic sensor, on the chip?

500 degrees for 20 secons, tha's the sweet spot...?

Thank you so much. its very helpfull

Unfortunately, reform in this way is only temporary. There is no radical solution to this problem

excellent tips and tricks to repair GPU :)

Thank you for your explainings. I work about graphic card repairing. I am a civil engineer but i like repairing some electronical cards. Now, i try to repair a laptop: Acer Aspire 5750g. I have 19 volts at all of power supply. I have 4 ohms at gpu power supply, 16 ohms at 2 rail CPU power supply, Stand by powers 3.3v and 5.0v ok. All of power supplies gives their voltages, only CPU power rails can't give their voltages when i push the power button. When i push power button: power led is coming up, i/o chip starting test of system, cooling fan turns and it goes to off about 5 seconds later. What do you thing about that?

Crazy knowledge, but the worst desk i have ever seen hahaha. Keep them coming! We learn a lot!

I have an asus x453s laptop , with white screen issue. I thought its led screen issue then I bought a new one 30pin , 14" then when I put it in, it doesnt have display. What could be the problem sir? Thank you very much The Default led screen when turned on got white screen The bought one has no display. Tried External Monitor - No display.

NEVER put screws back till tested, BAD OMEN in my experiences! LOL

I use K5 pro paste from ebay instead of thermal pad. You should try it.

How do I know if it's my graphic chip ? All I know is that it comes on but won't display on the monitor. I have a Dell Dimension 3000 ??

Is there any way to disable the dedicated graphics and use the integrated graphics (if integrated graphics is available)

With this fault will it give external vga out display? My dell laptop is black screen but gives external display, the lcd and lcd cable are definitely working

I’m learned a new lesson

Si la mine sta Nurofenul langa e-lichid :))

Touching is a good idea for overheating parts

What if you only get a picture when it get hot? Like blocking the fan and it overheat then picture show

I will try for my samsung laptop. I did it front side before, not back side. Maybe it's works if I'm lucky 😄

Did anyone else's OCD kick in when he didnt clean all the thermal paste off of the CPU?

Sorin record video at home

I am not a professional laptop repair guy but why did u overuse an arctic mx4 ? U just need to put a small line on the cpu and pressing the heatsink will get the job done.

the VGA port still sends a picture in this case

In this case you have partial solution because if you don’t make a reballing of gpu in 2 or 3 month the problem will come back

Great Quick fix! Hi Sorin,Good day to you! How can your determined easily if its a Graphics, Memory or Bios corruption issue? I think all of them showing same symptoms, it turns on with power led on but has black screen. Thanks on this video. More power to your channel!!

Thanks Sir *****

very good, thanks ...

Great action.....

i use 961 kester to reflow chip and lasts longer than just reheat.

i will like Ur video , u are very very grate man

Hi there, one question, can thermal paste be used instead of thermal pad ?

Hi,. Excelent job . I got hp pavilion dm4t-1000 . But my HP starts and Windows works except fan is running 100% and CPU side of laptof overheats like crazy. Cleaned thermal paste but didn't help. I guess because of this my 9 cell battery died .I heard problem is ATI chip(that's how i finded your video). So does CRAZY OVERHEATING means ATI chip is dead or not working and this tutorial will help me? Thanks, Appreciate your job.

If I don t have a heat gun what can I use, like to heat with the lighter something

I have an Acer E5-571G-719H the HDMI and VGA ports do not work, the nvidia drivers install and work but the intel graphic driver does not install. acer want to replace motherboard but that costs more than the original cost of the laptop

17:23 - Did he jump start the laptop from those connector pins? How did he know which pins to jump start it? Is it different for each laptop?

Hello, at what temperature and for how long should I use my heat gun. On heat gun I see speeds 1, 2, 3, 4, but I don't know what temperature they have.

I have a laptop Toshiba it is not turning on i think power is good, fan spinning, ram also fine but screen not coming i tried to connect with external monitor it not worked also so can it be caused from motherboard components or maybe motherboard itself? It happened when it is on and i can say i remember it had a much noise from fan and overheat. Can it be caused graphics card? any way what can i do ?

@electronics repair school: Hi, Some keys of my Lenovo X270 keyboard were not working so I've decided to replace it myself. I was very cautious and followed the service manual and best practices and could remove the faulty keyboard successfully. I plugged back all the ribbon cables and everything into its place. The issue is now the laptop turns ON (green light, the fan also turns, there is no beep unless I remove RAM memory) but the screen remains black. I've tried to connect it to an external monitor (and keyboard/mouse) but it didn't work. I've removed the CMOS battery for a while and put it back on but it didn't help. I have a big issue because when I wanted to connect the SSD drive to another laptop to access at least my data and back it up, it asks for BitLocker key which I never set (only had Windows session password) and I believe it is security/tamper protection from the old laptop. Could you please tell me what can be the issue? The GPU? Thanks a lot for your help.

why thermal paste on the processor and thermal pad on the video chip? is it bad to use thermal paste on same processor and video chip?

I have a laptop in which the screen has several blurry horizontal lines with a wider one near the bottom. Sometimes the screen has only the one wider white line near the bottom and the rest of the screen is black. I can't ever see any text on the screen so I can't boot up. When I try connecting an external monitor to the unit, the monitor gets no signal. What would you suspect to be the problem with this unit?

u are big engner مهندس كبير

i am also facing this type of issue my laptop showing black screen after your video i will do like same maybe it will be resolve. What is the name of this heatup machine how to get?

Can the graphics chip cause the labtop to not turn on, Even when there's 19v and 3.3v and the switch the lights just flash for some seconds 😳 then turn off.... can u help?

I Have the Same Laptop, It turns on and shows BIOS and even Windows Loading Screen but after some Loading some type of RED Dots appear on the Screen and Windows Didn't Boot Up. Can anyone tell me whether my GPU is Faulted or NOT?

how much does it cost to heat the graphic card? because I have same problem..

I have a Dell Dimension 3000 it's not showing a pitcher on the monitor so I googled it so tell me if this is the problem so I can get a pitcher Baroni701 The 3000, has no AGP or PCIe slot, you need to buy a PCI graphics card. The 3000 troubleshooter is here BEV ??? Another thing I pulled up on google is change the Hard Drive and Dvd Drive or change the TFT and 1 CRT or the HDD but what will be the simplest thing for me to do to get pitcher and the Tower comes on ???

You shouldn't do this. It might last for about 2 days and it's pain in the @$$ to open the laptop again. The best shot would be to disable the discrete graphics or replacing the chip. Chips are not expensive.

My friends laptop has a gtx 1060. It shows picture but it doesn't run high quality games and overheats. Would that graphics chip need to be replaced?

what can i do if i have 2 graphic card but one is disappear and not even recognizes in device manager this happen with my laptop toshiba satellite L50 and the graphic card that disappear is nvidea m950 4GB memory but the intel graphic card is working fine. please help me with this because i'm tired try to fix it

1050 ti gtx right under memery chip i broke 2 chips c175 and r535 what can i use to replace them and or re wire it , what i get on my screen is memory artiffact still and i still get picture ,,, if you need a pic ill send you one

Hello, I would be happy if you could advise me what a problem with my laptop,I have a laptop .toshiba satellite a300 247, That served me faithfully for several years, I watched movie and the computer it was connected to the TV through a HDMI. connection, Suddenly The computer stopped transmitting an image,But the computer stays on, I connected the screen through a connection VGA, But still see nothing, Love your diagnosis, Thank you very much !!!

How do you boot up laptop like that,with pincers ?

Hey nice fast job...how much $$ for a job like that..?

you are good professional, but man.. your working space looks like a bomb blow there, go see some tutorials on having a clean space.

Do you give a guaranty on graphic chip?

It needs a reballing , why you don't do it

Dell 3510 graphics ic location plz

Hello Uncle Sorin. we purchased the same laptop i.e., Dell Inspiron 15R N5010 about 12 years ago (~2010). It had a 500 MB dedicated graphics card (AMD/ATI Radeon). It was a very sad story. Just before 1 year after purchase, it started showing problems. But at the same time, my brothers & my exams going to start soon. So, we need time to study & for exams. One plus month passed in this. After exams, we immediately gone to the shop where we purchased the laptop. He told us that it may be hard disk problem. We connected the call to Dell support. They told us to run some checks while charging ON. They then found out that laptop was just gone out of warranty. So, we need to purchase new HDD. Irony was that Tsunami hit the Asian countries during that period & the factories manufacturing HDD got hit by it. So, HDD prices were gone high than normal because of their shortage. We purchased new HDD after some time when HDD prices were little bit lowered, but still high than normal 🥶 After maybe 1-2 years, it started showing the problem of 8 Beeps. We call the Dell support; they told us that we need to replace motherboard & its price was little bit more than 1/3rd of the original price of laptop. In between those times, battery backup also reduced & need to plug the charger ON whole time to use laptop & speakers also not functioning as intended. We then consult many local laptops shop owners; their repair costs were lower. So, we got repaired it from one of them & sound also gets fixed. But it lived a very short time, so we asked him about the repair & he repaired it for very low price as it worked very short time. After some time, the cycle repeats itself & we end up repairing it 3 to 4 times minimum. So overall we end up spending 1/3rd of laptops original price in total on 1 TB HDD & those repairs 🤮 We were kind of Noobs in knowledge about these laptop repairs & warranty issues 🤭🤫 Final result: Laptop was DEAD & during all these repairs; we lost following items: 😲🥺😡🤬 1. Couple of cables missing including power cable 2. Bluetooth stick was missing (which you also missed at first in this video) 3. Many screws were missing from bottom side. 4. Lots of scratches on top panel. 5. Lots of stickers indicating number of repairs done on laptop 6. In one corner, the cover which holds keypad is twisted at place where screw fits (I guess they used my laptop as a spare part supplier for other laptops from same line-up) 😤 I came to know about all these missing parts after I tried to open it myself, couple of years after it was dead. As I saw some videos about disassembly of same laptop on internet 🤓 I wish a guy like you was there in my city/nearby where I live, so that it might get fixed properly or at least the repair work would have last for longer than what I got 🙂 I still have that laptop now, which looks brand new except those scratches & sticker marks. My beautiful & heavy (3.5 kg) laptop in LOTUS PINK color 😍🥰 😭

can u fix a dedicated graphic card in laptop?

ma cosi dura 10 giorni ,ci va fatto il reballing se no è solo tenpo sprecato

sir my games keep crashing in Asus tuf fx505dt I did everything like reset OS, update driver and etc but none of them worked. if that's gpu's fault can it be fixed?

Why ociloscope still on when there is no nead of it .............

If it is known that it is the graphics chip, then why don't replace it? A chip costs about 50$ I think.

Can we replace the chip?

My friend, the color of the screen is shifting in my laptop and there are lines, but when I reflect it to the monitor with VGA, it works perfectly smoothly. Is the problem with the video card or the leptop lcd?

is it possible to replace a graphics chip in a laptop with a better performing one?

Clean your room. You still get a like for the flannel shirt.

I noticed you used paste on cpu and looked hard for a pad for gpu is there a reason you did not just use the paste on both?

How did you know that gpu is faulty.. it can be backlight problem or so.
