Re: HP Pavilion 15-CX DPk54 LA-841p No power




Oh Boy! My confidence *might* took a hit when it arrived and i've actually seen the chip IRL

Rediii or other experienced forum members, I'd like to ask for your input please:

In my mind i'd go on like this:
Set the board to the work surface and:
1. put captain tape around the chip i'm about to desolder
2. Apply the appropriate amount of flux on board
3. [B]Set the hot air station to ??? degrees Celsius[/B] and wait 5 minutes to actually heat up properly...

Re: HP Pavilion 15-CX DPk54 LA-841p No power



I'm just about to read up on its functionality, but i watched enough Louis Rossman videos to believe i can actually re-solder a new chip.
As my brother would say: don't overthink, just do it with the confidence of a true idiot!

Fingers crossed, i will definitely report back on how it went!...

Thank you rediii
I've literally found it 20 seconds ago. Does it mean anything that mine says AWSAAA and the results say AWS5MA?
I will do that and report back tomorrow!


nevermind, its a year code. Why the hell i didnt register earlier? damn......
