    Thanks Jim, wasn't sure the word was getting out. I have to manage posts because of SPAMMERS trying to post their websites, many unrelated. Not sure if you have my direct email address.

    I do actually and had sent you a message but no answer! Figured that you would have much work to do, so that's ok! I will send it again with my name! I am struggling to find proper education here in Greece! Laptop motherboards requires advanced skills! It's not like you are testing a resistor...!

      Posts go directly to the email of this acct. Though not all comments are posted (because of spam and others linking to their site, I do get the mail. Many times I get long hash marks as names, so I cannot respond directly.

      Here, Google+, Facebook (add) or email.
      If you google "Hoosier Newman" it should bring you here or another point of contact.

    If you have a questions about on-site training and rates use the Facebook page.
    Currently there are 3 questions for your input.

I cannot repair laptops for you via the internet, I can only answer questions related to posts. This is because I have not had experience on every motherboard that is out there. Bear with me.

If you do need it repaired. Contact me for quote (US/CDN Only)

Important parts on DV6000 and DV9000 series

Image
These are important parts if you are looking for shorts or opens on the DV series. This image shows the location of the FDS6679. A common cause of shorts in the DV series. When the power supply is plugged into the laptop and it shorts out/turns off it's usually caused by this MOSFET being shorted.  Plainly stated. You plug the adapter into the DC Jack and the Blue Ring fails to light up, and the Power Supply shuts off. Giving no power to the tip. To reset adapter, unplug from AC (mains) and wait 15-30 sec. Then plug in again. The adapter is not damaged, since this is how it is protected. These parts do not determine charge time or per centage. The FDS6679 only closes to complete Positive circuit.  The AO4407 only closes when the battery is plugged in. As a test- Check the voltage of the Drain side (pins 5-8) with AC adapter and no battery - you should see 0 volts.  When you contect the battery you should have 10-14v depending on DV6000 or DV9000 series. IF the AO44...

What Kills HP DV series laptops?

Image
The number one issue with DV Series is: Blank or No Video displayed. The number two issue is : (tied) No Wi-fi or Continuous rebooting After repairing a number of HP DV Series laptops. I wanted to isolate the problem and make it easier for me to fix, and have them stay fixed! So digging deep into them I can only come to a couple of conclusions of why they fail. 1: Manufacturing - Hann-Starr Either the oxidation on motherboard or the Graphics Chips. Since the failure comes in both versions AMD and Intel lines. And in Intel and nVidia GPU's it seems it could be at the factory. 2: Distribution - nVidia Could the transit time and shipping packaging be contributing to the oxidation on the GPU? On one unit after a number of reflow failures, I decided to remove the GPU and prepare to 'reball' the chip. Then and only then did I notice there was no solder on some pads. So that points the finger to nVidia. Oxidation is the culprit since the solder balls are put on a ...

Tips on Testing MOSFETs

Image
Imagine the flow direction Source to Drain This is how I test FETS  What I will try to do here is to provide a little insight on how to test  MOSFET's in circuit the easiest way I can think of. Essentially the FET acts as a switch, and the GATE either opens or closes the switch. When power is supplied to Pin 4 (usually the GATE) it will either open or close depending on the type of MOSFET it is. The arrows shows the direction for reference when using a meter to test.   Setting the meter in DIODE mode. On the N-Channel FET place the NEG lead on Pin 6/7 and the POS lead on Pin 2/3. You should get a reading of some value ~100 to 500 or higher. Imagine the flow direction Drain to Source On the P-Channel FET place the POS lead on Pin 6/7 and the NEG lead on Pin 2/3. Again you should get a reading of some value ~100 to 500 or higher. The reason I say pins 2/3 and 6/7 is ...
