    FPD1730 has failed on me

    Have a Gateway FPD1730 17" here, which worked flawlessly until today. Now all that I get on the screen (whether connected to a PC or not), is a mushed white screen that after a second, begins developing light purple blotches, the screen is also full of thin lines. When connected to a PC, the mush does change up, but is still a load of un-viewable white, lined mush.

    Crap caps, or has the CPU on the logic board bit the dust?

    Could be either, but my guess it more likely the logic board. Take it apart and maybe you will see bloated caps?

        Didn't see any bloated out. Perhaps one (or more) has silently failed? has happened with two other FPs that I own. (caused the backlights to fail)

          It looks like there 2 bloated caps (that brown crust on top) on the logic card and possibly 3 on the power board.

          It would be helpful to get 2000x2000 clear focused pics if possible. Put the boards by the window on a sunny day and use macro mode.

              Something like this (one for each board)

                I go for either the logic board or a loose cable to the panel itself. The white screen can also be caused by a fuse open on the panel, but that would be just white, not the way you describe it............

                  Dear members,
                  I have a problem with this machine that still I can't solve, I hope some of you can suggest me something.
                  I was the first one to open the machine and touch the mainboard, in fact the Lenovo seal was intact the first time that I unscrewed all the internal screws.
                  The ower told me that it was working very good until Windows kicked "something like a firmware update" (owner's words) then the system started acting weird.
                  When you try to start it, some seconds after having pressed the power button, Lenovo splashscreen appears, then after 1 second, in the...

                  Surface Laptop 1769 SSD Failed KUS040202M-B000
                  by gurj1979
                  Hey guys,

                  I've got a Surface Laptop 1769 (the nasty cloth type palmrest) which has a failed 512GB Samsung PM971 (KUS040202M-B000).
                  These are on BGA291, but I don't know which is equivalent to KUS040202M-B000.

                  AliExpress has this but it's expensive.

                  Can anyone help me find a reasonably prices equivalent which I can use as a replacement ?
                  Or which NVMe can I remove it from ?

                  QN65QN90A - Mainboard MLCC failed - now bootloop
                  by l0lhaxz1
                  Hi

                  I have a QN65QN90A which was purchased around launch I guess making it about 1.5-2 years old... had been working fine until a few days ago, simply went black and would no longer turn on (at all). No standby light and no typical PSU relay click etc. Absolutely dead.

                  Pulled it apart without doing much research first, suspecting the power supply as it had a faint buzz (I guess due to the forthcoming found short), investigated PSU for some time and concluded there was no fault that I could spot with the board removed.

                  Came to learn after a bit more research...

                  Lenovo NM-B891 (X390/T490 etc..) failed PU1001
                  by TheDJVG
                  Hi everyone!

                  Got a Lenovo X390 with a NM-B891 motherboard. When USB-C connected it negotiates 12v without any problems but no current is drawn. Inspection of the board shows this failed component:

                  Based on the boardview I was able to find this is a MP86901. I've removed this component and cleared the pads.

                  Connecting the charger again shows no improvement (12v, no current).

                  Resistence around this component (near the CPU) measure around 2.1 and 3 Ohm, probably acceptable for the location of the components being CPU related?

                  So far...
