    Let's Talk About BGA Chip Suppliers - anyone who repairs computers at component level has had to order chips from China at some point. Large BGA chips like graphics chips, chipsets and now CPUs are in increasing demand, due to their fairly high rate of failure due to thermal stress. The "Ultrabook" format made soldered-in CPUs the norm rather than the exception, so even after the big NVidia issue of 2006-2008, a BGA rework station remains an investment that pays off....

      HP Envy X360 13-bf0073TU (6X0Q8PA) Touch Screen Compatibility. Screen P/N N15665-001 - BOE NV133WUM-A65
      by AJ847.63e
      Hi All,


      We've got a HP Envy 12th gen that has been dropped and the LCD panel itself has cracked. The glass is fine just the panel itself is cracked. We ordered a replacement screen assembly using the part number off the HP part surfer website.
      Upon installation the touch screen now does not work either in UEFI or win 11. Device manager under the "intel Precise touch and Stylus) menu notes "This device cannot start (code 10) Status_Device_Power_Failure".

      I've tried all the usual troubleshooting steps like reinstalling the driver, uninstalling...

      Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
      by Ryan.man
      Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

      My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

      This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

      iphone XS turns off when press on screen.
      by smic717394
      Hi,

      I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on...

      Best place to source RAM chips? 8GB 820-00850 boards to 16GB or 32GB
      by ugamazing
      I'm looking to upgrade several 8GB 820-00850 boards to 16GB or 32GB for personal use. I am curious what the best practice and process is for sourcing new replacement chips, and what vendor(s) you guys prefer? Another question is, how do I find compatible chips and their corresponding part/model numbers? For example, in the 820-00850 schematic, the DDR chip U2600 model listed (EDFB232A1MA) corresponds to 1x32GB chip. Of course, I would need 4x8GB chips to replace the 4x2GB chips currently on the board. How do I find compatible 8GB chips? Is it as simple as searching "BGA178 8GB 2133"...
