    HP 4540s Disable discrete GPU

    Hi folks. I have HP 4540s with dead GPU (usual HP overheating). I saw few videos on youtube from russian technicians who desoldered few ID resistors and disabled power to GPU. After that Laptop won't initialize discrete GPU during POST and will use UMA instead. I wan do it to my board, but in schematics it is unclear which resistors should be removed/added.
    I have found VRAM ID resistors in schematics which may be the right ones but half of resistors are not marked on actual board. Has anybody encounter with similar situations?

      I was looking for boardview for this mobo on net, but can't find it. If anybody has it please share it.
      Thank you

          ASUS FX505GT disable discrete GPU
          by RotVik
          Hello everyone, ASUS FX505GT, dedicated GPU is shorted dead, I would like to disable it completely to activate only integrated CPU graphics.
          Any ideas? I was thinking to start by removing L8700 and L8701 so +NVVDD wont power the GPU, and maybe editing BIOS to disable it and also eliminate the possibility of fans going full speed and that kind of weird behavior.

          Is this possible? Any help would be great!

          Schematic vs. Reality: Where Are the Resistors on My Sharp Clock Radio? Model FY-70CH
          by TinkerTron
          Hey everyone,

          I'm currently working on a mid-70s Sharp Electronic Digital Clock Radio, Model FY-70CH. I found the service manual online, printed it out, and have been studying it for a while. My main reasons for tackling this are: (1) I want to learn electronics and figured I'd start with something I had on hand, and (2) I want to fix its issues. Right now, the radio sounds awful, has about 5V DC at the speaker terminals, and the alarm time setting doesn't work. But I'm not asking how to fix these problems.

          Instead, here's what's been bugging me so far:
          The schematic...

          MacBook Pro A1398 820-3787-A - Permanently Disable Discrete GPU
          by dezmiz
          Hello!

          I'm trying to permanently disable the dGPU (NVidia GT 750M) in my late-2013 MacBook Pro Retina (A1398 820-3787-A). I can get the system to boot up using the nvram variable "fa4ce28d-b62f-4c99-9cc3-6815686e30f9:gpu-power-prefs=%01%00%00%00", and can prevent the OS from switching to the dGPU via a handful of different methods (e.g. via OpenCore + WhatEverGreen or spoofing the device properties), but the discrete chip seems to stay powered up and cause the machine to overheat. I'm hoping to accomplish something similar to this hardware modification for a 2011 MBP:...

          Lenovo C861 Ryzen 5 disable 4GB samsung onboard ram
          by brotank
          I quiet struggling with board lenovo c681 to disable 4gb samsung onboard ram because they're faulty, I followed the instruction on the schematic to disable them with resistor codes but still not detecting the ram on the slot.

          can someone disable onboard ram from my dumped bios, please 🙏

          I tried the other bios on this forum with disabled onboard ram, but no success

          my final try is to find someone that can help disable onboard ram in my dumped bios attached in this post.

          after that I officially give up 😂

          thanks for awesome jobs 😊...
