    HP DV9000 motherboard issues. Part number differences.

    Hello

    Well now I'm working on a HP DV9000 notebook. As many of you know that this, and many others, have issues with GPU over heating and the BGA chip becoming unsoldered from the motherboard.

    I've reflowed this board twice.....the second time didn't last very long....so I was going to reball the chip......I didn't do a very good job removing the chip and basically destroyed the board and chip removing it....so.....I'm looking for a replacement MB.

    I found a few on Ebay..... My PN is 444002-001. I found a board with the PN 441534-001. Anyone know what the difference is with the different PNs? The board looks to be the same shape and is listed for the DV9000. It does have a few more chips on it where mine was left blank. Is this a matter of just having different drivers? If that's the case, I don't think it would be a problem.

    Yes there is a used board on Ebay with my PN. The problem is I don't know if it's been over heated and is ready to fail.


    Thanks for your help in this matter! It would be really nice for to get this computer back up for my wife! :-)

    This is what I would do personally and your thoughts might be different due to financial constraints.

    If these HP DV series are prone to heat and BGA problems, I would invest my money somewhere else unless I got a great deal on ebay with some sort of 90 day warranty.

    Some ebay sellers are out just to dump their stuff to the next sucker. So they may do a quick reflow, make sure it boots to BIOS, and then dump it on ebay.

      Are you saying that you'd buy the used board?

        I buy used stuff all the time. The key is knowing what you are buying and the price.

        If the used motherboard comes with a 90 day warranty from a seller that has 100% feedback and has been selling on ebay for years and at the RIGHT PRICE, I would have no hestitation in buying it.

        My hesitation would come because the HP DV series seem to have serious heating and BGA problems. However, that can be overcome at the RIGHT PRICE.

        Your definition of the RIGHT PRICE and mine could be vary significantly.

        PS. Everything used to post this message is 2nd hand or previously owned. And I mean everything from the mouse, keyboard, monitor, computer, hard drive, memory, CPU/motherboard, power supply, power bar, ethernet cable, wifi, and router.

          I'll give it some thought....

          I'd like to hear from someone that knows about the part numbers.

            Did the dv9000 series come with different submodels that had varying options (e.g. onboard infrared transmitter, maybe an extra firewire port or something like that)? Where are the "few more chips" located? That should give you a clue.

                OKay.....what is the difference in these models? Are they listed anywhere?

                Thanks!

                    All the boards are made by Quanta and the FM number is the key i.e. FM9 FM8
                    All the schematics are available. I believe there were only 4 different boards.
