Re: ASUS G50V - Fried? Yeah, probably.

I ordered a 5 pack of the TPC8107s I replaced all 3 of them on the board. It still goes into protect mode. I've visually inspected the whole board and I see nothing burned or cracked. The video card on this unit did not fail as I put it in another unit and it works fine. Only think I can think of is maybe a BGA failure on the north or southbridge.
