This info applies for a GTX 965m Reball. Ball type: Sn/Pb Solder balls Ball size: .5mm (Size on Stencil) Recommended ball size: .45mm (Decreases # accidental overlapping solder points) Temp: 230 degrees Celcius To steal an idea from another poster it's a good idea aquire dead motherboards and...

Thank you for showing me you don't understand why they call it "reball" the lead based solder you use as replacement for BGA applications comes in various sizes. The size being important because if you use too much you risk overlapping connections and too little you risk not forming a strong...

Still haven't gotten anything definitive out of the thread I appreciate the discretion people are advising however, the OS runs entirely on the CPU, and integrated Intel HD graphics. So the way I see it is I can 1. Run my pc until those pretty lines come back and then disable the GPU from...

There is not an official "B" series but I'm guessing it may be a satellite "c55-b" series. If this is the case the output power of the adapter you are using must be equal to "19V -- 2.37A" if you read carefully on the label for the adapter it will specify "Output Voltage" which must equal 19V...

The "Acer Aspire 7 A715-71G-70GD Intel i7 7700HQ 8GB Nvidia GTX 1050 2GB €949" will preform best, however both look like good options, for the small price difference I think it's worth it.

Yup with Ambient temp at 30 Celcius you are running at great tempratures. He really for longevity alot of people consider 65 Celcius to be a conservative, happy temperature thrashold. No worries!

If you have a digital multimeter, check the voltage between positive and negative terminals on the laptop. Then read the battery and find the operating voltage. If the operating voltage is much higher than what you measured, i.e. 9.7v vs measured 7.2v you should try replacing the battery. I am...

A good way to test would be remove the battery and plug in the ac adapter. Not all models can run in this fashion but if you're does and the problem persists It would make a case for replacing the ac adapter. Otherwise, it could be a GPU issue, as laptops actually do Not preform the same on...

I have been nursing an old well used Gpu, a gtx 965m in my alienware 13 R2, a few days ago after progressively crashing ( colored lines, dots, BSOD) all while gaming I reduced it was time to try and fix the GPU, I went ahead and successfully reflowed the GPU and restored functionality but I am...
