      It would help if you listed the model. Some boards have the nvidia bga problem.

              Make sure your CPU is supported, that you're RAM is good, and your PSU is properly hooked up (remember the 4-pin CPU power connector)

                      Welcome to the club. I got this for free, but haven't started on it yet due to lack of a good solder station. See

                              Problem

                              This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                              Yoga3 Pro-1370 Board NM-A321 DEAD no power at all
                              by k370
                              Hi everyone,

                              I have a NM-A321 board that is dead, with no power at all.

                              When I received the laptop, the +5VPMIC line was shorted. Removing the PU3 (ISL95905) solved the short, so I ordered and replaced the ISL.

                              With the new ISL, the short is gone, but still no voltages at all. I measured the following rails:
                              • +3VALW
                              • +5VAUX
                              • 1.2VSUS_PWRGD
                              • 3VALW_PGD
                              • 1.05VAUX_PWRGD

                              Additionally, the ISL95906 (PU3) is not getting any voltage on the VIN rail.

                              The only place on the board where I find any voltage is on the first MOSFETs, specifically:...

                              Upgrading a Samsung ue55nu7096u with logic board from an ue55ru7105k -- good idea?
                              by ohren
                              I hope this is the right forum to post in despite not technically being a repair, but still a question of swapping boards.

                              I thought I'd explore the possibility to upgrade an existing working Samsung ue55nu7096u with the logic board (and power board if needed) of a newer model (ue55ru7105k) of the same size and appearance (and resolution). The reason being I'd like the extra inputs of that board including component in, an extra HDMI port and bluetooth. Its panel is broken so I have no use for the board otherwise.

                              The models launched in 2018 and 2019 respectively....

                              HP Elitebook 845 G8 dead, only caps lock flashing 7 times. Charging light always on
                              by esqmooo
                              Hello everyone.

                              This is my development machine. I've been using it since two years and half without any problem except sometimes it wouldn't wake up from sleep.
                              Lately the issue became more frequent and powering it up would take few seconds to show the POST screen.
                              Then the computer refuses to power on at all. Now only the caps lock button flashes 7 times then stops. The charging light is always on whenever a power source is connected (battery or charger).
                              I tried long pressing on the power button, after several seconds it would go off then when the button is released...

                              HP RP7 RP7800 from 2012/2013 worst fault - has "character"
                              by Rayblaster
                              Hello friends, I've got a nice toy to play with - it is an HP RP7800 All-in-one POS system. I got it for free and it has one problem - it turns on very rarely, and just for a few seconds. After that it dies and doesn't come on if I don't leave it unplugged for at least 2 hours. I've repaired motherboards before, this is not my first one, but problem with these types of faults is that everything you check on the board will usually be fine. This is the case for me here.

                              I dissassembled it completely, and got my hands on the motherboard. Model No. is PIQ67H/Higgins 11047-I 48.3GD02.011....
