@Seegalgalguntijak4 жыл бұрын
I've done this type of work to many laptops. The key is, you should also disassemble the fan assembly, separate the fan from the heatsink fins that it blows through, because that's usually where there is most of the dust - often you can pull a rectangular carpet of dust from the heat sink fins and that's what prevents air flow through the heatsink.
@Graham_Langley4 жыл бұрын
The HP Probook 4540s I'm typing this on slowly got hotter and hotter a few months back. A lot easier to take apart than Dave's and as you say there was a solid mat of dust between the fan and the heatpipe radiator.
@TheSpotify953 ай бұрын
If ever I have access to a laptop motherboard, it always gets the fan cleaned (and disassembled to gain access to the heatpipe fins) and fresh thermal paste, even if it is cheaper stuff. Most laptops/PCs worth their salt get Arctic MX-4. Less important ones get MX-2 or the cheap stuff. High performance ones (such as anything gaming) get MX-6. The amount of laptops I've seen with dust blocking the grills is insane - I mean, once a year you've got to get that blowed out to stop it from accumulating. Overheating will probably kill your motherboard/CPU/GPU if you have a dead motherboard.

Yep. Remember that. Nvidia 8000 series chipsets (and the corresponding quadros) from production date 2007 to August 2008. Had bad underfill with a wrong thermal expansion coefficient. The chip basically separated itself from the carrier on a microscopic level. There were many laptops with this chipset. Thinkpad T61(p), Macbooks, HP DV. The Apple and HP where especially affected since they both ran very hot, which accelerated the process a lot. They had a lifespan of around 1-2 years while the Thinkpad lasted 2-4 years. But they all die eventually. For the thinkpad, later production runs have a fixed chip (date code aug/2008 and later). The corresponding desktop cards where also affected, but the usually outlasted their usable lifespan as GPUs developed very fast at that time. Some didn't. That's were the GPU baking myth comes from - those cards/ laptop boards could be temporarily revived by baking them. Radeon HD5000/6000 series had a similar issue

Recently, I successfully exchanged the graphics card inside an old desktop PC to a legacy HD 6450, and the W10 drivers were working fine. The AMD Radeon site also lists w10 32/64bit drivers for the HD6770M. Have you already tried these?

Dave, if you go to the AMD website, you can get the WHQL driver version 15.7.1 for the 6770m AND also the Crimson Edition 16.2.1 Beta. DO NOT try to use the HP OEM drivers though. Get them from Radeon (AMD) directly. YMMV as I had an issue with a desktop 5700 series card and Windows 10 and gave up and used the Windows 10 compatibility driver.

I did some digging and it sounds like you might be able to get the AMD GPU working under windows 10 if you go into the BIOS and change it something like discrete GPU only, it sounds like the actual problem is the dynamic switching between the two GPU's, but with that disabled it might work.

2 approaches that have worked for me: 1) I've had luck putting Windows 8(.1) drivers on Windows 10. If they were available for that particular Radeon chipset, it might work. But, as you say, it's not exactly high-end, so... 2) Uninstall the driver completely and disable the "unknown device" in device manager. There might be some quiescent power draw from the GPU being soldered-in, but if Windows doesn't ever bring it up, it won't matter. Slap a new battery in that puppy and you've got a good "don't care if this gets destroyed" field laptop.

I don't know if I can post links here but you should be able to manually download the drivers of the card you listed from here: www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-hd/amd-radeon-hd-6000m-series/amd-radeon-hd-6770m If it doesn't work remove the battery and unplug the power and then hold the power button for 10 seconds. If that doesn't fix it it's probably dead.

yeahh I had one with some sort of cool bubble design, and yes it was very hot. mine had a AMD Turion II M520. Used it for school. It collected a lot of dust between the fan and the heatsink. The thing with the discs between the drive and the case. is also familiar. Found a lot of discs at work :P You can put a second drive in it but the drive bays were quite expensive and hard to get. Edit: But even after cleaning the AMD Turion II M520 ran hot and was slow. It had silly special drivers to use the Radeon.

@@waize Is it attached using screws? In my experience in that style of cooler it's heatstaked on. The best setup I've seen is what's on my Dell Inspiron 8600/Latitude D800. There the main fan is a separate module which is directly accessed from the bottom. No need to disassemble the laptop to remove the dust, just turn it over and undo two screws to get at the heatsink. But speaking of "lint trap from the clothes drier", when we went to upgrade the RAM in my Dad's old Dell desktop (Dimension 3000) there was a solid layer of dust covering the front of the fins. Somehow the fans didn't go crazy and overheat. Also have a laptop formerly owned by a smoker and as one expected that ran hot and overheated. Originally I thought it was because it used a desktop Pentium 4. I was wrong. After taking it apart and removing tons of brown residue it runs fairly cool.

You can get the 6770M working, either use legacy AMD drivers or Leshcat's drivers which support switchable graphics, thought you'll probably have to scour around for those. The 6770Ms on these do have a tendency to die, but worth a shot. I have a dv6 version and it's still going strong, in fact, I consider upgrading every year and there's just nothing out there that justifies it for me. Probably going on 10 years now! Shame about the cheap plastics on the shell, it's the only thing I've had to replace over the years.
