Can I replace my old nVidia chipset with a new one(same model) for GX600X?
I have a problem like this:
YouTube - PC Laptop Monitor Error: Vivid Vertical Green Lines | HELP PLEASE!
its not all the time, but still.. sometimes its doing that (with blue no green)
the problem is the LCD or the chipset?
-
-
gpu maybe?
everything can be replaced. chipset and gpu need to be resoldered using infrared soldering agreagate (7000$, not every repair shop has it) -
I tested it, and I have to replace this I think: NVIDIA G84-600-A2 BGA Chipset 8600M with Warranty | eBay
how do I do it?? with infrared soldering ?? -
you can't do it on your own. only repair service. and they will take 100-250$ for that.
-
oh... ok thank you
-
negotiate with them. 100$ is good price for them for 5-10 minutes work. You can disassembly laptop and bring a motherboard only with chipset to even lower the prise but how will you guarantee that it worked before if they spoil smth? And make sure they will use Infrared Soldering Station not a hot air one which is more risky
-
do you think 230$ is a good price?(work + warranty plus the chipset)
-
warranty is what must be no matter what. This price includes search of the chipset, buying it and disassembling reassembling laptop. Still I think 200$ would be a limit for that. If you buy chipset your self it must reduce 70-50$. It depends if they are rednecks there or good trusted guys

I think your laptop uses MXM cards....
You could just buy something newer/better for about 100$ -
Did not look that suit for this laptop, still here are more info about such things http://forum.notebookreview.com/har...obile-graphics-cards-read-before-posting.html

Also, there is a possibility of doing it yourself:

If I were you, I would try it first to see if the repair works. Then try to upgrade it (controversial):

I think if you are savvy enough, it is a great opportunity given your position. Especially if you consider offering it to other people. -
I think better to give it to pro people to repair it, no?? its cheaper

Definitely not, the cheapest option is to buy a new laptop.
HOWEVER, if you check that second link, it may be possible here to run something like a 9600m GT. And if you could do that to multiple laptops for a few 100$s I think it could be worth it.
The BGAs are fairly cheap:
nVIDIA G96-630-A1 9600M GT VGA GPU BGA Chipset ICs | eBay
but there is always the potential issue of failed vRAM instead. This would something you'd need to foresee looking into.. -
So all I have to do is replace the old chipset for this one: nVIDIA G96-630-A1 9600M GT VGA GPU BGA Chipset ICs | eBay
that's all?? and it should work then?
