P-7811FX Motherboard Pictures

I second this, I have also put the pagefile on completely different drives with success.

 

Hm, you guys are correct. I must be in la-la land right now. I thought that even if you disabled the paging file on the system drive in Windows XP, upon reboot it would re-enable it, and the only possible thing was to lower it to the minimum size (usually 2mb)

 

and i second this. so have i.

 

And I second his second on my second.

 

off topic.

any one have success converting from compatibility mode to ahci mode without reinstalling the os?

 

Yep, no page file on my eeePC and it loves it.

 

Syn. Give me your eeepc. I want one for work and dont wanna pay for it. I'll barter for it with sheep.

 

LOL I would but it looks as though he has terrible breath! I was holding out for a good used Yak.

 

Oh you mean the animal in my avy. I think thats a horse or donkey or something of the sort. Whatever it is, it scared the hell outta that kid, that's for sure! I think I may have a low mileage yak in the garage, ill check and get back to you.

 

I though that was one strange looking sheep but I didn't want to offend you, remembering the "hot lap" comment ... could have been a personal favorite. Not sure what kind of harem you're runnin' there.

 

Yeah, I have the part numbers for bt module and cable, if they work in the p-7811 is anyones guess including gateway tech support, so that is what my conclusion was based on, looks just like a dell's.

Has anyone looked under the LCD panel's skirt (i.e. backplate) to see who makes the ****ed thing yet?

 

What info are you looking for?

 

Quick question, between the gpu and the gpu's heatsink, is there only thermal paste? Or is there a copper shim in between somewhere. IF there is a copper shim in between with or without a thermal pad attached, how do you AS5 it? Do you apply the AS5 on both sides of the copper shim and then mush the heatsink/gpu together? Or do you just toss the shim and just put AS5 only in between?

 

there was only thermal paste inbetween the gpu and heatsink.

 

The maker of the LCD panel. LG, Samsung, Sony, Sharp, etc.

 

Awesome, only thermal paste? I'm ready to AS5 this sucker. Now....if only I knew where to begin with taking my laptop apart....I heard something about removing the battery and taking the screws out there first. After that, I still have no idea.

 

So nobody sees the PLL eh?

 

waiting on the same thing....

 

I'm going to try and open mine up....

 

yeah, i was just sitting here debating on doing the same...but...carry on. dont forget your digital camera and proper lighting...lol

edit: make sure you at least have some AS5 and some thermal pads before starting...just incase you mess up the original ones....

 

He may not be back for a while..this thing is easy to open. It's just a matter of putting it back together with all the correct screws in each slot, and not having any leftover. The one I tore down had a lump in the middle of the keyboard afterwards. And I only had 3 screws with no holes to put them in. Story of my life, eh? More than enough screws to go around..just no takers when I'm lookin. The x305 Qosmio was an *easy* tear down. The HP dv9000 was a pain in the @$$, and this would probably fall right in the middle of the two. More towards HP than Tosh. Not difficult, just tedious.

 

so you did tear your dv9 apart. yeah, that was one project there the first time, but after that it was fairly easy. also..when tearing apart laptops you really should use a digital camera.(use computer to blow up pictures) it shows everything in color (screws included) yeah, i can't be having no extra screws afterward...think i did that once.. just for one screw. (tore it back apart) and matched it with my pictures and seen my error.

waiting on Vwracer69 to find that pll code, so we can give it to the pll master to get us a front side bus program going... then you will be able to up that score another 200 to 1000 points.....

 

What i did when i tore my 6860 apart to make life easier was took some paper and i drew a picture of say the bottom of the laptop as best as you can in shape etc,then put dots where each screw you have to take out go's ,then i stood each screw up on that little dot drew and when it came time to put it back together it was easy peasy.

 

yeah....well lets see what that looks like.....ooops, ya didn't take a picture of it!!
lol!

j/k

 

"Connect the dots.. la da di da.. connect the dots.. la dee da" See avatar for more info.

Quad, I though I was smart, and had 3 plastic bowls..one labeled "top", one "bottom" and one "Under cover". Well.. the only one I had screws left in was the under cover one..shoulda maybe specified whether under top or bottom cover, and which cover..and yeah.. no wonder I had leftovers.

 

I'm making a post of my discoveries right now

 

ya'll are too funny!!

and citizen...get good clear pictures of the small chips. one of them is the pll. if i knew where to look...i sure would advise..... but i have no clue.

 

PLL for P-6831FX Good news and bad news...

 

john..posting a great link for flashing via 64bit vista in the bios section.. Ya may find it useful.

 

i had actually thought about taking pictures of where each screw went so as i didnt screw up but there was no way in hell i wanted 140 pictures to go through and this was the easiest way for me .

 

quit pulling our legs quad!...lol you know you only need about 10 pictures in different stages of the break down...man ya killing me tonight...lol

he said 140 pictures... ..what's that...10 pic's per screw...lol

 

Ya i figured a picture for each time i turned the screwdriver would have been what i wanted to be accurate .

 

lol
10 char

 

E-wrecked bowl setup for laptop disassembly ... hope this helps

 

Well, I'm hoping we'll have some pictures on disassembly soon!

 

if your didn't figure it out yet, i took mine apart and the bluetooth module goes right here. see where it says "blue1"




and on a side note...

pll info is slightly different on the 6860fx
X2 = 14,31818 Mhz

Chip: 14,318. H,ELE,8A

ICS Chip: ICS 7350186

Johnksss - What do you have your video card oc'd to. I've oc'd mine a little, but I'm too much of a wuss to push it. Just curious to see what others with good scores are oc'd to.

 

vadersith:

just over clock it to 600/900/1400 and you'll be fine (depending on who's inf file you use)

 

Thanks for giving me some balls man. lol I actually had it close to that but was afraid to push it that high. I use a zalman nc-2000, so it keeps it a little cooler than normal. Again, thanks

 

no problem!

 

Awesome info! Thanks!

 

no problem!

 

I didn't read all the way through, flame me if you want.

Has anyone tried putting a bluetooth card into the empty slot yet, and if so : what were the results, what type of card (pcie mini or half or what), and whered u get it?

Thanks a bunch

 

i think they may have by now. (speculation of course)

Wouldn't something like this work with the 8 pin connectors on the mother board, the guy on ebay is saying it uses bluesoleil software, and can use Windows Built in.

The only thing that can really hinder this is the incompatibility with the motherboard, which is something I have no clue about!

 

Anybody have instructions yet for a step-by-step disassembly?

 

Cool. It almost looks as if you could get away with removing the hdd caddy and carefully sneak it around and in without taking the entire system apart, but sadly I just removed the hdd and it's not possible.

This is the only service manual I found, it didn't help me with bt but it does show some basic preparation and disasembly.

The broadcom bluetooth (internal) module I took out of a hp dv7t has only 8-pins. Where on the motherboard is the 8-pin located?

 

This pic shows where its located but you will have to remove the palmrest to get to it . You can clearly see the on/off switch in the pic on the bottom right to give you an idea of where its at .
