Macbook 15"...video issues.

Laptop works good except for the video issue, it shows the same externally as well. The Apple chimming sound loops.
Bit tricky to open. Once opened I found the trouble maker,NVIDIA.
Same procedures and voila!!.

HP dv2000...video issue

A store nearby fix the video issue on this unit, which is typical. A month later the issue came back, no video.
I fixed the issue again BUT I did something the other tech didnt do or maybe forgot...I cleaned the fan, and removed lint..look how clogged it was..

Fake re-do=free work and parts.DV6000

Just a warning for pc stores/techs out there..
One of our customers bought this laptop along with others 2 weeks ago
With a video issue, so I fixed the issue, but today he bought the same laptop with same issues plus more. Now it just turns on and off, and it just loops until unplugged.
Here at the store, they fix those issues if they happened again at no cost.
Funny thing is, I open the laptop which was exactly the same dv6000 but they switched the mobo, of course it has other issues, because its been previously worked on...they failed!!
I'm not the store owner so I proceed to fix, because this customer brings in lots of work.
So make sure you have a some way to identify which computer you worked on, that way you don't lose money.
P.S: I found out they switched the board on me when I got suspicious, laptop missing screws and the terrible job they did, which was dangerous, using aluminum on top of video chip.

The work area

This is where all the fun magic happens..I little messy though, mind you that as manager/technician I'm 70% of the time alone and it gets a little rough sometimes.keeping up with customers, answering phones and fixing pcs, but I like what I do.

Toshiba satellite a505.... dead.

Costumer brought it in dead, he had previously worked on it, tried to changed power jack, ended up with a bigger issue.

He broke the frame and used some compound to fix car radiator to keep power jack in place...just messy...lol.

Not one of my proudest jobs, but the store owner is a tough cookie. I would've used some heat and shrink tubes, and something else to reform the frame, but I have to used what's available. for now electrical tape and silicone did the job.
