Re: ThinkPad W530 - faulty CPU regulators?

K1000M board repaired by replacing 3 BGA regulators
In case od K2000M board the final solution was to just reflash bios. I've also replaced the regulators before, but it didn't help.
The difference worth noting is that K2000M didn't have vcore at all.

Hello
I've got two W530 boards, one with K1000M and one with K2000M graphics card. The first one had an issue of turning off under heavy CPU load after about 30 minutes or in idle. GPU load wasn't causing it to shut down. Trying to turn it back on would only make the power LED to come up for about 2 seconds without fan spin or thinklight flash, and that's it. It also wasn't charging the battery after it died.
Gently pressing the laptop in left upper corner would fix this problem for a couple of days.
The latter is completely dead and has the same 2-second power blink, nevermind...
