Hi! A friend of mine came to me with his laptop, telling me it would not work properly. Here’s what happens: It (most of the times) powers on just fine, passes the POST but within about 20s from that it just turn off, no error, no nothing… it even sometimes gets to the Windows log-in screen… It is noteworthy to mention that the fan revs up at full speed for the entire duration of the time it “works”. Trying to reboot if after that does not always work, if the power button is pressed the power LED will just flash a few times with no noticeable pattern to it, but nothing will happen. I suspect this might be a heat problem, but I can’t confirm since my new thermal paste hasn’t arrived yet :’( Reseating the RAM, clearing the BIOS has not worked. Anyone has any other suggestion?
Hi, @alexniculescu , as many of those series HP computers has GPU chip problems I will sugest you to do short reflow for GPU chip. If you will see any good signs of usage after reflow process then GPU chip should be reballed. Or you can leave it reflowed but for very short usage… Link to youtube video reflow process: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqRRUMSS…
