engineers manual

Hi Every one I have a Samsung gamer 7 laptop series a version but my lovable daughter dropped it and it has been switching off like it is over heating.

Now the only physical damage was a chip in the plastic at the edge of the screen so I thought it was simply over heating as it will power off leave it for a while and it will sometimes power on .

Before it was dropped it worked perfectly on the battery but will now not work unless on power.

So was wondering if there is an engineer manual to strip it down so I can reseat and re check connections

regards and thank you in advance

If you are in the USA then you can order the service manual from samsungparts.com. I don't know if they supply it to people in other countries.

You might want to first search this forum in case someone has already opened up this notebook (I'm assuming that it is the NP700G7C). Put "site:forum.notebookreview.com/Samsung NP700G7C" into the Google search box.

Hi John in the uk like your self i have seen the manual before on here but at the time was like ohh interesting but didnt need it ...till now lol.

I seem to have two documents;

www.pcambrosia.com/NP700G7C/Manuals/DisassemblyNP700G7C_ServiceManual.pdf

www.pcambrosia.com/NP700G7C/Manuals/Samsung_NP700G7C_ServiceManual.pdf

Edit; I should note that this may be way more complex than a simple tear down. when you plug power in does the battery show charging? an overheat could be the TIM dried out and the shock of the fall cracked it so not it is no longer efficiently transferring heat. I would monitor that though to see if it is the issue. Monitor and diagnose as much as possible before taking it apart.

Edit 2; The G7C and G7A both have the same basic chassis, The primary difference is the GPU and possibly the fan so they may be slightly different. Also the G7A will have the 3D dongle.

 

Hi Tan first thanks , yes the machine shows charging i am unsure what the tim is though and it is a little clutching at straws doing a strip but only thing i could think of rather then sell it for spares/repairs.

in the strip down was hoping to check fans etc ensure they are spinning.

the model i have is the np700g7a-s02uk

 

You probably then have the AMD card and 3D dongle. As far as TIM, it is the Thermal Interface Material or commonly known as heat paste. You may have to pull the heatsinks then clean off the material and apply new heat paste.

More than likely you will not be powering it on while apart. You can stress test the cpu and or gpu and once heated you should hear the respective fans spin up. I would recommend not just pulling it apart grasping at straws. You should diagnose it first!

Exploratory surgery on a laptop is never a good thing.

 

hi and spot on amd chipset with 3d well stripped it now in bits next to me just got to sort out the paste clean it up and put it back together

 

Any luck yet?

 

Not a sausage going to give to rebuild it next week if that hasnt sorted it will sell it as scrap and buy a new one

 

If you don't want sausage you could try bacon.

 

This thread is making me hungry.

I have the service manual for the C-US01 model with the 675M, not sure if that would help.
