    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.

                          HP brought out 10 different models in the dv9000 series both in intel and amd chipsets

                              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.

                                          Dell XPS13 9370 with LA-E671P motherboard - power issues, no 3.3V and 5V always on voltages
                                          by Rosen Anastasov
                                          The computer is the one in the subject. Dead. So dead, that no button, no nothing works. Zero signs of it being live until I open it.

                                          What's verified - the B+ voltage is there at 8.4V.

                                          Battery is probably dead, cause it was a bit over discharged (to 6V). I forcefully charged it directly on the cell terminals to 3.8V per cell. Now it has voltage on the output connector, but it is 7.1V, not 7.6V. Even when connected to the motherboard it doesn't charge. But will look at that later.

                                          The +3VALWP and +5VALWP voltages are missing. Traced them to PU500 and PU501....

                                          Hp z420 motherboard (?) issues
                                          by evoman2
                                          Hello everyone! I have an old hp workstation z420. Xeon E5 1620 v2, 8gb ecc ddr3

                                          Basically, when I plug in the power cable to the power supply, it turns on and off while clicking every time it power cycles. Once I remove the power cable from the supply, it flashes a red light 4 times while beeping for about 10 seconds. I have purchased a new CPU and power supply already, but that hasnt fixed it so I'm convinced it's a motherboard level fault. If anyone has any ideas on what the fault could be, and/or how to diagnose it, that would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

                                          Hi, pretty much new here, glad I can be part of this community. I'm new to repairing laptops motherboards (Only previous experience was repairing a Z690I STRIX with a broken trace on the memory slot, and it was a sloppy job but worked)

                                          Bit of background: I'm not new replacing Laptop parts and doing general testing. Bought multiple laptops of the same model since it's easier to repair and got some that I can either switch parts and test.

                                          Legion Y540 17irh motherboard issue ( need help to know how to diagnose my motherboard)
                                          by Docus
                                          Hi everyone 😀,

                                          I'm here today to ask for help with repairing the motherboard of a Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH.

                                          To give you some context, I'm passionate about computer repair so much so that I've invested in a lot of tools and started practicing on dead and old hardware. I've been learning how to solder and desolder components, mostly focusing on phone repairs.

                                          Recently, I bought a broken Lenovo Legion Y540 17IRH for just €150, and there are two main reasons why I made this purchase:
                                          1. I already own the exact same model, but its plastic chassis is badly damaged.
                                          ...
