HP Pavillion G7 Capslock and Numlock Flashing

[robrock1]

HP Pavillion G7 Capslock and Numlock is blinking continuously, it means cpu error.
I checked vcore voltage and it is missing. I resoldered cpu power ic and i flashed the bios but the problem still exist. Any ideas?

Hi, You need to REBALL the graphics chip, there is no point in reflowing it as the same problem will reappear in no time at all, the solder balls have either cracked or pooled together. Reflowing it will eventually just turn the solder to dust.

Platform? AMD, Intel?

well if you have caps local blinking ONE time between pauses , then its supposed to be CPU issue (but if its AMD machine ) your problem is on the IGP chip . Reball and its ok (attention better to replace this chip or else very soon it will comeback

Hello its intel core i3 i reflowed the chip twice but still it does not work. there is no extra graphic chip. Btw i never have sucess with core i3 machines by reflowing, it never works for me but older machines or amd its just fine. I do reflowing a lot and most times it can work almost up to 6 months which i think is ok.
