    Upgrading chipset

    Hey guys, not sure if this is the right sub-forum. Also, please excuse my lack of knowledge on this issue.

    Is it possible to upgrade the chipset of a laptop? I have an asus GL552JX that has a faulty chipset (SR17E - BD82HM86). My initial replacement part was faulty and I am still waiting to receive a new replacement (due to pandemic it is taking forever :/)

    I do however have a donor board with an SR17D - BD82HM87 chipset. Is it possible to use the SR17D as a replacement for the SR17E? If yes, what other processes will be required? (I do reckon BIOS will need to be edited, etc).

              Update:
              No luck unfortunately. Laptop turns on as soon as power is plugged in but no image (even after multiple boot cycles). Tried clean ME bios but issue still same. I guess I will have to wait for the replacement chipset for this fix :/

                  What was the motherboard that you took the SR17D from

                      Re: Upgrading chipset

                      From an HP I believe.

                      Motherboard reference:
                      Rampage_MB
                      12241-1
                      48.4YW03.011

                      Would it help if I post its BIOS dump?

                              OK. Any advise regarding the above mentioned issue/attempt? Or is the SR17D simply not a compatible replacement for the SR17E?

                                      Some Russian forums say it worked on some machine. Of course on yours there could always be something different making it not compatible. Are you sure the replacement went well and there's no other issue?

                                          Replacement went smoothly from reball to reflow. Referring to https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=84282 there has actually been an improvement as I now have healthy BIOS signal. I guess we will find out when I receive another SR17E replacement (and hoping its good).

                                                  Both were replaced and reprogrammed. It could also be that the BIOS need tweaking but I have no idea what/how.

                                                          Hello guys,

                                                          I would like a quite old but still good 800 W ATX PSU to be repaired. The problem was an extremely heavy coil whine coming from the small secondary transfomer on the PCB.

                                                          I desoldered it hoping the references on the upper side would allow me to find a adequate replacement part. Sadly the written references drove me nowhere but to the manufacturer (I-MAG). I sent them a message like a bottle in the see asking them to send me a datasheet of the transformer. And... They responded ! I received a kind of datasheet (see attachment) but my competencies do not allow...

                                                          Hello,

                                                          Not sure if this is the correct section, but I have a PS4 controller that I am trying to fix. It developed stick drift on the left stick and the usual simpler methods did not fix the problem.

                                                          So I went on eBay and ordered some replacement potentiometers. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174967976757 is where I got them from.

                                                          I took the green potentiometers off the replacement sticks and soldered them onto the PCB. Assembled the controller and ran some tests. The drifting was somewhat fixed (not fully in center, but way better than before). However,...

                                                          i have a 2020 macbook pro 13" A2251 with 820-09149 logic board so i found an issue with chip labeled U6903 according to schem. boardview using flexBV software, so i removed it from the board and the issue im having is that the chip says "07A08FI ELC180​" on top of it but when searching for a replacement chip, i can find tons of identical looking chips that also have "ELC180" printed on them but the first set of digits is never the same so im trying to find out if i need this exact chip with these same numbers as mine and if not which ones are compatible as a replacement?...

                                                          I have a klipsch kda-500 that would turn on and allow me to get into the web management but it was picking up a lot of noise from audio sources so i decided to replace the smd caps on the power supply along with radial one. Some one was in here before me and they basically burned the bottom side of the traces off for the radial cap but i was able to repair it without any real problem. I thought i did a good job sourcing out replacement caps but apparently not and now i can't get the power supply to turn on it just constantly try's to keep turning on. Attached is a picture of the power supply before...
