    8600gt replacement chip?

    Has anyone ever replaced a chip (laptop) with a DIFFERENT one? I once saw a guy who swapped an 8600gt chip for an 8500gt one and it worked. Is it possible to replace it with an 8800gt chip for example?

    What were the last stable revisions of fault-free G84 chips?

      Asus laptop EC/SIO chip replacement
      by ebugs
      Asus Vivobook 15 (board X513ea R2.0) gone dead when user plugged an iPhone cable into the USB-C port during boot. Now there's no LED light, no power at all. I checked all MOSFETs and capacitors, no shorts found. The board only has 3.3V and 5V present, no other voltages.

      I injected 3.3V into the EC chip power rail (ITE IT5125VG 128), and it draws 80mA, while the 3.3V LDO chip RT8249C has a max output of 100mA. I checked the boardview and found there are only two chips on this 3.3V rail, EC and Realtek audio chip. So I think EC could be the problem.

      I found the EC chip...

      ----------------------------------------------------------

      Q: I have a bios request,i can`t post my backup as i can`t read from the chip.

      A: If you can`t read from it how do you expect to write to it ?.

      Q: Why is my bios chip unreadable ?.

      A: The programmer is faulty or has a worn or broken zif socket.

      The USB cable is frayed,connector pins worn or some other physical damage.

      Not enough amperage or voltage to power the programmer properly.

      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 Chromebox CN62 - wrong chip put on BIOS reader
      by BMCappelletti
      Long story short:
      - dad converted Asus Chromebox CN62 into Windows compatible, with mrchromebox BIOS, years and years ago
      - gave the computer to his son a couple years later
      - son now decided to revert it to Chrome OS, to sell it as original (re-writing BIOS with the backup one created by his dad)
      - too lazy to remove the board from the case, thought a voltage regulator was the BIOS chip (you know... it has 8 legs)
      (seems like the story was not that short)

      He used alligator clips to read the chip. No luck reading it. Removed chip and placed on a SOC-8...

      HP Envy x360 (13-AR0033NB) Waterdamage - Replacement chip?
      by Jenzo
      Hey everyone, working on an HP with quite some waterdamage. One chip kinda exploded, but I have no clue what it does, or where to get a replacement. Included are a picture of the damage, one clearer shot of chip, and one pointing to the location of the chip.

      The modelnumber of the motherboard presumable is 18740-1 or 448.0GA08.0011

      Not certain what the motherboardnumbers of these HP's are tbh.

      Does anyone have any idea what chip this is, and how to find a replacement? Thank you very much in advance for the time and effort!...
