Re: DV9500 blue LED ring of death ?

Yes. They go under the keyboard and then down through a hole to the bottom. And from there they go to the wireless card. It's hard to explain in words. It's easier to understand if you search youtube for "dv9500 disassembly" and watch where they are.

Re: DV9500 blue LED ring of death ?

which node is connected to external battery ?
Is it safe if I put the battery on ?

Re: DV9500 blue LED ring of death ?

It's BATCHG, but I don't see any reason why you can't connect the battery.

Re: DV9500 blue LED ring of death ?

So the battery will not burn PD16 and PQ62 because of over current ?

Re: DV9500 blue LED ring of death ?

That's correct. The circuit that had the problem runs all the time. The battery won't affect it.

Ok...all good, now it's running properly, I put ubuntu on it....there's a dirt on LCD...looks like a glue mark....any suggestion for a friendly cleaner for LCD ?

Re: DV9500 blue LED ring of death ?

I use something called Sprayway Glass Cleaner. But I have no idea what other countries it's sold in. The important thing is that you use something that won't damage the coating on the LCD. That means no ammonia, no alcohol, and no other harsh chemicals. Also, some cleaners are specifically advertised as being safe for LCDs right on the container.
