    Re: Laptop reflowing improving reliability ?

    I have an HP tx2 with black screen issues. The external monitor connection works and the screen, until recently, would come up at start up if left off overnight. The symptoms sound similar to GPU overheating problems on other HP's.

    Mattbrad2 you mentioned that you used your wife's tx as a trial. Is it worth attempting a reflow on this board?

        I dont know much about hp laptops (anything!?!) so probably talking rubbish but I should have thought that if it works on an external monitor then it would use the same graphics chips for the internal. Have you checked the connections and the inverter board and bulbs.

            Repair Success! Middle Atlantic UPS2200R-IP
            by valvashon
            Yesterday I successfully repaired a Middle Atlantic UPS2200R-IP that had inadvertently been used as a surge suppressor at our transmitter site. It has already been replaced with an updated one but it's coming home with me now instead of being e-cycled. To be specific, this is the MA model that has the blue backlit display and has been discontinued, although this design may have been used in many UPS units including the smaller Middle Atlantic ones in this series.



            Here's what happened: We experienced a brownout/surge at the site, which damaged the UPS and took our broadcasting...

            How do organic polymer caps compare to liquid electrolytic for reliability
            by Perry Babin
            I have a situation where a power supply is commonly abused and the 12v supply caps take a beating. They don't commonly fail but they run hot. I was thinking about going from a liquid electrolytic (Panasonic FC and Nichicon HE) to an organic polymer. The values have been 330uF. I typically use a higher-than-needed voltage to get a lower ESR. The supply is operated from 12v.

            If not organic polymer, what would be the caps that could take the most abuse?

            Solder not reflowing - what am I doing wrong?
            by sircastor
            I'm trying to fix a broken MacBook Air, and got a parts board to salvage components from. Following the suggestions of many folks here, I wanted to get in a little practice of using my hot air station (A Quick 957DW+) on the parts board so I know what kind of behavior to expect.

            For the life of me, I can't get anything done with this thing. I have tried multiple temperatures (from 210-425c), different air speeds, preheating the board (with the hot air, just warming it all around). I have applied what feels like excessive amounts of flux (Amtech V2-TF-559) and the solder on these components...

            TVs vs Computer Monitor Reliability & Failure Rate
            by nobbnobb1
            Anecdotally, it seems to me that TVs fail much more often than computer monitors judging from personal experience and looking at the classified where people are getting rid of broken/malfunctioning TVs all the time.

            So I'm just wondering if this is the case? Is there something inherent in the design of monitors that makes them more reliable? I would've thought they'd be operating under more severe conditions than a TV. For a typical family, a TV may only be on for a few hours every day. Whereas a monitor could be on 8+ hours, along with countless power cycles turning on/off as power...
