    motherboard damaged near gpu

    i have asus board that somebody damaged really hard with srewdriver near the gtx g960m gpu (the motherboard has two gpu cards)...Some lines/nets on the motherboard were cut very deep and long and some just on surface...For three longer cuts i made wire jumpers and solder everything...but for several others shorter cuts that (maybe only half milimeter) i applied solder only to fill the gap (i used no wire)...Now the board starts i get the picture..but whenever i tried to change to 960m gtx it starts very slowly..sometimes even black screen...
    So i am wondering is there a difference between a wire jumper and a solder only jumper for a smaller gaps between two lines on board? or there is something else i missed while trying to solder everything back?

      Photos would be useful. Solder vs wire wouldn't be a problem, bridged traces is more likely.

      There may be damage to internal layers though, if the scratches are deep enough

          Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2
          by acedogblast
          This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

          There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

          Asus ROG Strix Scar G533qm with a G733qm Motherboard, can I modify the Bios to accept G533 Bios
          by glovecaps
          Hello,

          I have a Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 (G533QM) that had a dead motherboard (Graphics card dead) and after trying to fix the motherboard with no success, I bit the bullet on a sale for a new motherboard. I ordered a motherboard for the 15 inch model which is the one that I have, and when the motherboard arrived it wasn't for a little while that I saw it was from the 17 inch model.

          My question is, can I update the Bios on this G733 motherboard to a G533 Bios.

          The reason for wanting to do this is that the keyboard isn't working as it should, and I think this...

          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.

          Programming KBC IT8987VG ASUS TUF FX506L RT809F+PEB
          by araxnido
          Dear friends, I want to share my experience repairing an ASUS TUF FX506L gaming laptop motherboard: DABKXDMB8E0_F_BKXD. Boardview and schematic are available, as well as the BIOS and ITE ROM.

          When the customer brought in this laptop, it was initially dead; it showed no signs of booting for any reason. After hours of measurements, checking each stage, MOSFET, and seeing if there was a short circuit in any capacitor, I discovered a strange 0.7V leakage voltage on the 3V_S5 rail, particularly on the PL9 coil, with the board not powered on. There were 3V_LDO and 5V_LDO voltages, which...

          HP Envy 17-3290NR 3D Blank Screen - motherboard Louis V1.1 6050A2489901
          by Archimedes
          Subject is a blank screen issue in HP Envy 17-3290NR 3D version laptop with motherboard Louis V1.1 6050A2489901 MB-A02. Production year is 2012. This one is a 2nd hand motherboard which I could use it for few months only. Suddenly no output from the internal display and also no signal from HDMI port then Windows out of order after few boots.

          Caps lock working normally and no HP's caps-lock warning blinks. Making a hard reset and replacing the RAM sticks or using different slots didn't help.

          Fans are spinning. Blindly could install windows11 and got the device manager...
