[@deegreen63]

I followed your instructions to the letter and everything worked perfectly first time. Thank you so much for this tutorial, you are a genius! Keep up the good work!

[@brainwashedindian6355]

IMPORTANT STEPS after reflow 1. ATI settings in control panel should be manually lowered to least possible level in every tab. 2. Forget the Games.DO NOT play any games that will heat up the GPU with 3D Graphics. 3.Turn off windows AERO effects. 4.Keep the Laptop elevated using a laptop cooler or use plastic bottle caps to raise the ground clearance. These steps will ensure longevity of reflow repair. Upvote this to let others know.

[@PiyushPrasoon]

Very true Mr. Mohinesh.

[@user-fw5bf7tb2b]

Mohinesh Patil , I DO NOT play any games because my Loptop off after 10 to 15 seconds. fan work well not overheating.

[@AmeerQ99]

So no guarantee this will fix it permanently?because i wanna resurect the gpuchipto play games.Does it occur again if i play video games overtime?

[@Wok_Agenda]

Don't use the laptop at all and it won't go bad

[@hosseinsanaye]

Great simple explanation.From a to z! I really do appreciate this video. It's too pricey if I would left it at Dell repair shop. Totally missed the flux in the re-flow process, that was a great hint. although renewing silicon paste is unbelievably effective for better thermal conductivity and thus lower temperatures. Still some isopropyl alcohol for cleaning the remaining flux near the edges would make it the best done. Keep it up . Liked and superscribed ;)

[@vladimirbzlion]

How thick thermal gum pads was?

[@PiyushPrasoon]

It is approximately 1/2 mm thick

[@soundspark]

I have a laptop that died and wont post with any beeps. Would that likely be the CPU? It was a bit flaky before it went totally dead.

[@PiyushPrasoon]

there are several steps to check what's the exact issue if you laptop is not even responding after pressing the switch. you could check few steps here for understanding (do any thing under supervision of expert laptop technician). smallbusiness.chron.com/tell-battery-dead-computer-70237.html

[@rahuluttarkar1651]

Please suggest the flux and heat paste you have used (India) I wanted to give a try

[@PiyushPrasoon]

You could purchase it at electronics spare market or you could get it online. you could check out the links below for the stuffs. check out the following links: Thermal grease/compound> www.amazon.com/Coollaboratory-Thermal-Compound-Processor-Heatsink/dp/B0039RY3MM Liquid Flux> www.amazon.in/MAXFIX-LIQUID-FLUX-100ml/dp/B01N3U9JI3?tag=googinhydr18418-21&tag=googinkenshoo-21&ascsubtag=67e55168-07f2-4ff5-a9df-b1f1a18b7dab Definitely you could go for other brands after checking the review properly.

[@nitteyesh]

Is it compulsory to put thermal grease...as I don't have it..

[@PiyushPrasoon]

its too compulsory....you could get it a little from any repairing shop. out side vendor will give you 10 ml in 10 or 20 INR

[@israelsmart]

Excellent well done. I have one question. Did your Intel MH57 GPU worked?

[@PiyushPrasoon]

Yes off-course brother and 2 months ago I exchanged it with brand new Lenovo laptop in an online shopping.

[@israelsmart]

@@PiyushPrasoon Okay great. Your video was perfect though. I watched the entire thing.

[@ratneshgangwar8840]

it was a nice demonstration.there is one doubt about the pressure which you applied after heat gun process,how much pressure ,how to measure or compair the intensity of that pressure.

[@PiyushPrasoon]

Very nice question Ratnesh. To understand the amount of pressure you need to perform the penny/coin test for you heat gun which you will use to perform the re-flow process. First you have to perform it with one coin by putting the soldering element on the coin, which will give you the idea about the time and temperature which is required to melt the soldering element. The next test you need to do with two coins, steps are given below: Test 2 (test with two coins) 1. take 2 coins. 2. cut the soldering element in size of nearly 3mm (cut 4 - 6 small 3mm soldering metal) 3. place 1st coin and put all the 4 - 6 cut-piece on that coin maintaining the small gape nearly of 2 - 3 mm. 4. now put the 2nd coin over this arrangement properly in sandwich manner. 5. Apply heat on the arrangement with the same temperature, time and the distance you have kept on the previous test. 6. after reaching the time limit, keep the heat-gun apart. 7. Take some flat surface cylindrical heat resistive object, and place it properly in the center of the coin and apply the pressure in such a way that the soldering element did not bridge the connection. This part is very tricky, if you are performing it on your computer be careful, in the video I have placed the screwdriver just after re-flow but applied a very small pressure after 4 - 5 sec because as the time goes the soldering element is approaching the stage of getting solidify. I have performed 2 - 3 times coin test to get perfection. Most of the time this dose not require, you can skip this process. to know what is a penny test click on the link given below: www.laptoprepair101.com/fix-laptop-motherboard-with-failed-nvidia-graphics-chip/

[@nitingupta-nj1jn]

thanks a lot buddy... i save 10,000 rs. because dell service center person told me the motherboard of your laptop suck you need new one.

[@dialahalloum]

very impressive, thanks.

[@rohitshinde5821]

What is the cost of repairs in laptop shop for the same problems

[@PiyushPrasoon]

Generally they will charge you from Rs.500 to Rs.2000, the one who tell you that they will re-ball the GPU, may charge you from Rs.1500 to Rs.3000. Note: Be care full while giving it fore repair, ask them for guarantee/warranty at least for 6 months. **Authorized Dell service center will charge you Rs. 7000 without guarantee/warranty and Rs.12000 with 1or 2 years of guarantee/warranty.

Can you help me with the flux you bought

[@apolitik]

I have the same problem with the same laptop. Is this only a temporary solution?

[@PiyushPrasoon]

Yes it is a temporary solution, and my temporary time period was 1.5 - 2 years. So it completely depends how precisely it has been taken care and how good you are handling the laptop. Just one liner - try to keep your laptop well ventilated (keep it cool) while in use.

[@apolitik]

@@PiyushPrasoon thank you. Very useful info. Since I lost my gpu, is there a place that you would suggest me to buy new motherboard for this laptop

[@PiyushPrasoon]

[@PiyushPrasoon]

No problem you can continue using it, but handle/use you laptop with great care. check the comment by @Mohinesh Patil.

[@tarunsingla2472]

Could you please tell me how much they can charge if i went to repair the same from any laptop repair shop.

[@PiyushPrasoon]

for just re-flow it could be 500 to 1500 INR. for reballing the GPU 4k to 7k. I would suggest not to do it. In case you are going with the above option ask them to provide guarantee for at least 6 month. Cause I did not found any repairing shop, even good repairing center providing even 3 month warrantee. Some good repairing shop will provide you 30 days warrantee. Not if you are spending huge amount on this like reballing then ask them for the warrantee at least for 1 year otherwise don't go for it. It will be a bad deal for you.

[@blahblahblahimbored]

Hey I have a Dell xps 15 l502x. I have the same 8 beep problem so it is an lcd failure. I don't have thermal grease so I'm just going to open it a certain amount and try cleaning it. But my question is, can I still follow these steps even though I have a different dell laptop? Also is there any chance of the problem being fixed without thermal grease?

[@jorhamkat9999]

Hi i have a dell inpiron 3500 with the same problem black screen with a no stop beep sound.what could be the problem?

[@larasalloum5973]

thank so much Sir please answer me. Can i do any thing in my laptop normally after reflow? like ... play a video or play a game

[@PiyushPrasoon]

You can do any thing, however take care of only one thing that, you laptop should not get heated up. Simply I can say, you need to keep you laptop as cool as possible while it is in switch on/working mode. It might be possible your laptop will be overheated in case you are playing any high resolution game, for which even a laptop cooler will fail, so as per my recommendation you should not play those games. you can do general stuff like watching movies, web surfing, documentation etc, I would like to recommend one more thing, avoid using multiple(heavy application) computer application simultaneously, to keep it cool.

[@subhanjankayet]

can you please tell me the tool link from amazon or any other website from India, especially the grease ,screwdiver set and hot airgun purchase link

[@nikolaynikolov6583]

hello that video is very helpful . i didn't find the FLux which you use for the graphic card and i use TOPNIK AG-5 . the air hot gun i use number 1 on 300 degrees and for about 2 minutes . It still work the laptop was fix but i hope is possible if you give little more info about your work like what should be the temperature on the air hot gun because not every gun is the same and what we can use instead of something what is hard to find . for me nothing on the video i couldn't find and i search allot to find something the same . But your work is very good and helpful thank you one more time and i hope to post more videos like that :)

[@mogjosely8291]

can it be possible to add internal gpu for gaming on a laptop when it is not available or not being there before ?? is it possible ?

[@PiyushPrasoon]

No, it completely depends on laptop motherboard, if there is any space available for GPU inside the laptop then only it can be placed otherwise no chance.

[@vsvikasvs]

i have the same issue with my dell inspiron N4010, ATI graphics.How is the response of reballing instead of reflow ?? how long would it last ? any cost estimate in rupees

[@PiyushPrasoon]

Re-balling will cost to lot more then re-flowing, however if re-balling is done properly it will definitely have longer life the re-flow.

[@vsvikasvs]

Piyush Prasoon I think reflow is a non reliable solution. A reballing would be more reliable, I am searching for the right people in Pune.

[@PiyushPrasoon]

Yes you are right, also I heard the same with many persons and it's obvious, cleaning the internal metallic pads of contacts and re-balling it again with good quality of soldering balls will add enough life to it. However for me re-flow is working from last 3 years till present date. most important is to search a right person/technician or service center to get rid of this issue completely.

[@vsvikasvs]

Piyush Prasoon sounds good, I'll research for reliable reballing/reflow technicians

[@ramankhattar1436]

Hi Piyush I have the same laptop. I had the issue of 8 beeps when switching on the laptop. I followed the steps. However I didnt have thermal paste and Flux with me. So I just used the hot air to heat the graphics chip. However, after re-assembing everything the laptop has stopped booting altogether. There are no more 8 beeps and the light on the power button is also not getting up when pressing it. Any idea as to why it could happen?

[@PiyushPrasoon]

Don not turn on or use your laptop without applying thermal grease, as soon as you press the power button of laptop GPU, CPU and Video card along with other onboard chip is reaching up-to 40 to 60 degree temperature all at a sudden (i.e within 4 -7 sec), and if temperature will increased in drastic manner it will not allow to turn on the laptop to save the processing units from burning. This might be on of the reason why you laptop is not turning on. At list you could place the old thermal grease on the processing units which will work but not for long time >this 8 beep problem is coming due to GPU heat up so keep your laptop as cool as possible. Alternative of thermal grease: use Colgate white color paste and use it carefully do not let it fall on any other exposed components on the MB. toothpaste might be conductive. in case if it still did not work, the re-check all the connections carefully. 1. battery charging board connection with motherboard(MB) 2. Power switch cable connection with MB 3. all other data-bus or cable connections. CAUTION: PERFORM ABOVE STEEPS AT YOUR OWN RISK. Do let me know in case you need further help on the same.

Brother can I use Thinner or White spirit instead of liquid flux???? And Can I also use Hair Dryer instead of Heat Gun?

[@PiyushPrasoon]

+imtiaz rahman No, not at all my dear!!! Thinner or white spirit is highly inflammable. Exposing these liquid to high temperature may catch fire and cause severe damage. And the second thing is that, the hair drier will not reach up to the temperature (250 - 300+ degree Celsius) which is required to perform the BGA soldering.

Mine is i5 - 8250U. BTW changing/replacing a processor is very critical process, because most of the time pins are mismatching with the available processor slot on the laptop. So do a proper research and if you are getting a good processor with proper pin which matches the processor port you can try replacing it and check if its is working properly.

This problem occurs due to overheating of laptop, to overcome this problem temporally you need to keep the laptop as cool as possible. Use good quality cooling pad to keep the laptop at nominal temperature and try not to use multiple application simultaneously or any bulky or heavy graphics application. If you want permanent solution of this you need to follow the steps below: 1. clean you laptop from inside. It might be possible that the exhaust vent is loaded with dust particles. and also apply new thermal grease on processor and GPU. 2. If 1st did not works then try replacing the heat sink with the new one. Most of the time 1st method works properly and give new life to your laptop.

[@PiyushPrasoon]

Make sure you have fixed the RAM in it's particular positions, means in case you are having 2 RAMs in your laptop, the slot for both should not be interchanged. How many beeps it is producing?

[@nitheeshbk3239]

2 beeps continues in sequence of 3 second.

[@PiyushPrasoon]

As you told me previously that, you repaired your laptop from some shop and after 2 months again ti was not starting. As per my knowledge the re-flow was not done properly that is why it is having the same problem. You can give a last try or better to go for service center or a good laptop repairing local service center and ask them before giving your laptop, if they are providing warranties or guaranties after repairing. That is the only option left.

[@sactec2787]

which chemical is used above IC

you can check out the tear-down/disassembly videos of dell xps I502x it may possible that motherboard is of different design but the re flow process is same, but before re-flow perform a penny/coin test for for the heat gun. Penny test link: www.laptoprepair101.com/fix-laptop-motherboard-with-failed-nvidia-graphics-chip/ I have found one video for dell xps I502x disassembly video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naC5o5eYjNSCpKM You can check for the other videos.

[@Jaypalvansia]

I have also 8 beep problems screen goes black but it works well with HDMI on external monitor so what should be the problem in my laptop ? Before this problem my laptop heats too much so i can't understand is that GPU problem or LCD problem ?

[@PiyushPrasoon]

+Jaypal Vansia You should check that yours graphics card is working properly or not. You can check it from device manager. For GPU test. 1. type device manager in start menu and open it 2. Find out display adapters, double click on it, you will find you GPU's name and model number. 3. Check whether it is working or not. For LCD test. 1. shutdown you pc 2. press D+power until bright screen appears , it will start test automatically you an also check out the video for GPU check and LCD testing on the links given bellow: LCD test---- kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpuXoaiJZcdsibM GPU Test---- kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqa6Z36ndtZ7Ztk

Bro touch pad not working in this model, how to fix it, any help?

[@PiyushPrasoon]

you need to check the cable connection to motherboard if it is broken. Each tracings on the cable need to undergo with continuity check and then clean each part of the mouse touchpad properly. Caution: Perform all this at your own risk

[@prashantdogra48]

hi piyush I have the same problem of scrambled screen but my laptop doesn't gives 8 beep sound. what could b the problem ?

[@PiyushPrasoon]

I want to clarify one thing that, if you are getting scrambled display then it's for sure the problem is related to GPU. You will not get 8 beep sound till you are getting any visuals on the screen. 8 Beeps occurs only if your are not getting visuals on the screen, only to identify the particular error, as number of beeps is a code to identify the error related to particular parts in the computer. In your case you are getting visual on you screen hence any technical person can understand that it is a problem of Graphics card.

[@prashantdogra48]

So is there a need to replace graphics card? If there is then what's the approx cost?

[@PiyushPrasoon]

dell inspiron N5010 is having on board GPU. Very few technicians are performing the replacement. By the way you GPU is not malfunctioning, It is not working properly because of the bad contact of it's pins/pad with the mother board. It can be corrected by performing the GPU re-flow, which I have performed in the above video.

[@santoshkumarsingh5273]

Thank you for the video. I have Dell N7010. LED light and FAN start working but screen remains black and does not show anything. Does this procedure going to help me..... plz suggest if there is another option.

[@PiyushPrasoon]

Dude, First of all connect it with external monitor. Check it step by step. Let me know if it is working with external display. do not go ahead with teardown until you r not sure what's the exact problem is

@@santoshkumarsingh5273 Bro, use VGA...cause if you are using HDMI cable then press the screen extension button on the keyboard 2times- mirror the display/3times - extended display/4times - for display in second screen only. but it would be better if u use VGA with monitor

[@mxwxgxgxb]

It will work only 1-2 months. Then it will back when you watch HD videos. re-flow is only temporally. Once ATI chip is defective that means it time to go. this is DELLs worst shitty stuff in their laptops. well Thanks. If some one can use more than 6 months after re-flow thats great.

[@pujanshrestha2983]

What to do with the old laptop after that? I have on dell n4010 laptop. Is there anything that i can do with it Or is it kind of trash now?

[@ravindupererayt]

Hello. I'm also having a Dell Inspiron N5010 (ATI Mobility Radeon HD5650) and the same issue. I hope to try things which you have done in this video and could you please let me know that do i really need to use Flux before heating the GPU? or is it enough just heating the GPU without using Flux on it? Waiting for your reply AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, because i'm really in a trouble this time with this error :( . Thank you.

[@PiyushPrasoon]

Yes it is important to use flux because In high-temperature metal joining processes like soldering, the primary purpose of flux is to prevent oxidation of the base and filler materials. for example, tin-lead solder attaches very well to copper, but poorly to the various oxides of copper, which form quickly at soldering temperatures. Flux is a substance, which is nearly inert at room temperature, but which becomes strongly reducing at elevated temperatures, preventing the formation of metal oxides. Additionally, flux allows solder to flow easily on the working piece rather than forming beads. In case you are proceeding for the GPU re-flow without flux it would be definitely a temporary solution to fix this type of issue.

[@supercryptotv]

possible i can use laptop if i remove gpu dell n5010

[@PiyushPrasoon]

it is possible, however it require some resistor de-soldered from one place and re-soldered at another place on the mother board to bypass GPU section.

[@Christopher_T_Paul]

Here is the thing. This is only a temporary solution, the same problem will soon come back. Everyone think that reflowing or reballing a GPU will fix it. the fact is that 99% of the time it has nothing to do with the solder balls connecting the GPU to the motherboard. The actual fault is you have a bad GPU and applying the heat to the heatsink will give the temporary repair. The only way to fix it permanently is to replace the GPU.

[@arifabdulhamid4399]

The liquid you use. What it's call mr? ( not the thermal grease but the other one).

[@PiyushPrasoon]

That is liquid flux.

Watch video carefully you will find every thing. In case you are having any doubt regarding particular tools or equipment used, be specific to ask about it.

[@nomaplo2895]

Hello Piyush. Thank you for making this professional video. If possible, could you please make one on how to bypass amd/dedicated GPU so that only integrated Intel GPU gets used? I had my amd gpu reflowed a year ago and it has given up on me. I am not sure reflowing again would last long now.

[@PiyushPrasoon]

Thank you for the comment, I am not having the old model laptop as of now, however I will try my best to make a video on bypassing GPU to use integrated intel video card directly. In the mean while you could try GPU re-flow once again in the same manner as you have done it previously or as I am doing in the video. Thank you.

[@SaborLatino21]

Thank you very much for this great video. You did an outstanding job. I feel more confident now after seeing your video. One question please! My N5010 is beeping and the screen is completely black. It did start a couple of times, and in one of those times I was able to reinstall Windows 10, because that's when the problem started. It worked very good for a few days but it went back to beeping and the black screen. I tried to fix it using some videos on KZbin, but nothing works. If you have time; can you please do a video on fixing this issue? I really don't want to get rid of it. I have been using it for almost 12 years and I do like it; even if it's a little slow. You know; we get attach to things that have been good to us. I hate to do it but I have to order another one laptop to keep busy. However; I still want to fix this one. Thank you very much for all your help. I subscribed to your channel; so I will be looking forward to your next video. Take care. Tony Perez

[@PiyushPrasoon]

Hey Tony, Even I felt the same with my Laptop. Any way how many beeps you are getting, if it is 8 beeps with black screen then it is having the same issue. For repairing you can follow the video. Best of luck and TC.

I have the same issue with my N5010. Is this a permanent fix? or should i go for graphics conversion (ATI to Intel)?

[@PiyushPrasoon]

It depends upon the technical person, how precisely he is performing the re-flow. For me, my laptop is working smoothly since my first and last repair i.e 1.5 years ago. Conversion to Intel is not a bad idea, you can proceed for it.

[@kunal8423]

Hi Piyush, thanks for the video. I'm getting the error 'Display driver stopped responding and has recovered' - error (this is normally happening on overheating) after which the screen gets distorted and the system has to be rebooted (as it does not recover on its own). On rebooting there are 8 beeps - I have to enter the system into Safe Mode after which I have to disable the driver software in (Safe Mode >> device manager >> Display adapter >> disable - Ati mobility radeon 5000 series) and restart the system in normal mode without the driver software. Also sometimes the laptop screen wont start on D+Power button, i have to plug the system to external monitor with VGA . Please help. I'm confused as to its is the GPU problem or the Driver Software Compatibility or LCD (cable / screen) . If its the GPU should i go for reflow or reballing?

[@PiyushPrasoon]

For sure it is GPU problem. Use you laptop as long as it is working and you should keep your laptop as cool as possible. But at last you need to go with the GPU re-flow or GPU re-balling, better to go with the re-flow as GPU re-balling is done by very few repairing center and cost you much. The problem you are facing is the same problem for which I have posted the above video.

[@DawnSmithaanddinsurance]

Please Piyush, I took my laptop to the local laptop repair shop to perform a reflow. They said my model does not have an isolated Grafic card. Model Inspiron 15 5000 Series. Do you have any idea a work around they charge me $85. to tell me that.

[@PiyushPrasoon]

It is really a high price, if they have charged you $85 for doing nothing, as these things can be reveled easily by searching it with particular model number for detailed information on internet. Even if you will go for the repair it will cost you in between of $30 to $50.

[@DawnSmithaanddinsurance]

I text chat with Dell tec. support. He sais 8 beeps is LCD no more explanation. He will send FedEx to pick it up, fix and return it for $250. :-( I'll let you know what happen ;-)

[@PiyushPrasoon]

Nice you have chosen the best option and yes, if any technician come to know about this 8 beeps error in 15 5000 series Dell laptop until they haven't diagnose it, they will tell you the same thing, however as per user's report most of the time 8 beep is responsible for the GPU failure in 15 5000 series Dell Laptops. And of course I will wait for your next response. Let me know if they are giving you warranty for 1 year or more.
