    Hi,

    There is a known issue with the HP DV9000 series laptops, that one day they just give you a blank screen. This is because of the bad design, which leads to the GPU over heating and messing up it's own joints.. The solution is a reballing.

    I sent it to the company who said that they would be able to fix it and when I got it back it was still broken and looks like this:

    Is this how it's meant to look post "reballing"?

    This seems to be what reballing is;

    Hell no !
    The red glue must be removed prior to reballing.
    Very few places in Ireland can do a BGA reflow properly nevermind a BGA reball,

    Most pc repair places do cowboy jobs involving a €20 heat gun from B&Q

    You need to be very specific when looking for this repair,
    Make sure they use something called a bga rework station

    Yeah I was just wondering Jim bob.. I fix PCs myself, but I thought it looked like the guy had completely botched it up.. screws missing from the thing as well, when I took it apart..
