frozenload if u dislike about this thread. just off from the thread my friend. we actually discussing to find solution on interest . i open up this thread to share knowledge. as my basic knowledge of mother board repair we need to understand smd technique such as reball ic,replace cap ,resistor,power ic and fuse using rework station but reason why im open up this thread to see geeks at toms hardware knowledge. we in asian had successfully fixed most of laptop motherboard. If you just replace mobo to new set of mobo even my grandma can do it my friend. Sometimes we sell refurbished to customer which even u out there never knew. We had successfully earn 80% margin which even sum times my cost us usd$5 for repairing. think-think
