Re: hp pavilion g6

I will be doing that. I must say... This was the first time ever that I have soldered something so small. I think I have found a new addiction. I'm looking for more things to fix, people are so easy to throwing things out instead of just thinking a bit further and just try fixing the problem. Thanks again.

Piernov....

YOU ARE A GENIUS!!! Thank you so much for the help... I removed C22 and C6. Tested it and then replaced them with the same components from another board that was blown. After that, I bridged L5.

And now my PC is like a monster again. I am super grateful for your help. So thorough, quick and speedy.

This is by far the best forum I have ever joined.

Have a fantastic week.

Re: hp pavilion g6

Thank you very much Piernov... I'm gonna play around with this over the weekend. Will let you know what I can accomplish.

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply.

I think those did short cause there was a spark there.

I'm having trouble attaching more photos, so I added it to google photos... I hope that's ok and I hope the resolution is good enough. Please see link below.

battling with the internet this side, will upload more photos as soon as I can.

The serial number on the board is: (R33 DA0R33MB6F1 REF:F)

Thanks

Re: hp pavilion g6

Hi Guys,

I'm new here and finding it difficult to find what I need.

I have a HP Pavilion G6 laptop, the screen ribbon cable broke and I replaced it with a new one, as I turned it on I realized that the screen works but the backlight doesn't work.

After searching the net I found Badcaps.net and saw a thread mentioning the same problem, Apparently it's the fuse that's faulty on the motherboard, I then tried to locate it on the board to test but that was not very successful and while the board was on one of the other components...

Let's see how things go, I hope that I can get enough assistance to get my laptop sorted. FYI: I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to micro electronics but I am willing to learn a great deal and quite excited about it.
