Does your Laptop have the "No Video" "No Boot" "On then Off" Syndrome?

I can fix that!

This listing is for reballing your GPU. This provides a long-term fix. I use leaded solder spheres to replace the non-leaded ones which is part of the problem.

This listing is for sending in the board only and not the entire laptop.

***Please see below for the rest of the information and how the service works!***

I have tried to put as much information as possible in this listing. Please take the time to read it from top to bottom. Most questions/answers can be found below.

Professional Laptop Repair:

+ This listing is for units that have the "No Video" "No Boot" "On then Off" syndrome.

 

+ I also have been able to repair water damage / spills using a ultrasonic tank which cleans and removes the corrosion. You can order this service through one of my other listings for this service. 

What Does The Service Include?:

I will remove the non-leaded solder spheres, put leaded spheres on the GPU and reattach to the motherboard and put the laptop back together. I also will clean the fan and install copper shims on the GPU Video Chip and Arctic MX-2 thermal paste (better than Arctic Silver 5) on the CPU. This will "help" make sure that this problem doesn't come up again. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I'll gladly answer questions before, during and after the sale! Again I try to be very quick to respond to all emails. If for any reason your not satisfied with your purchase let me know. I work VERY hard for my customers so please email me before leaving any kind of feedback.

I am open to shipping anywhere just keep in mind that the shipping in the ad is for conus and shipping outside the US will be additional if over the amount included in the listing. I will let the customer know and add that to the invoice. I will not add a handling or service charge through shipping. Again I want this to be as affordable as possible for you.

I often get asked what brands and all do I service and what's the difference between the different listings that I have? I currently work on ALL brands of motherboards and ALL system types. In addition to that I also work on Apple logic boards. I can do any MacBook as well as iMac video related repairs. In addition to that I also rework higher end desktop video cards and motherboard only.  I have other listings for macbooks.

My Rework Tools At My Disposal:

  1. HONTON HT-R690 Rework Station with Split View Optical System and HT-R390 BGA System
  2. Aoyue 883 Infrared Bottom Heater
  3. Tornado Infra Pro Lite Heater 
  4. Aoyue 2702 Hot Air Rework station and Soldering Iron
  5. Microscope Inspection System with Digital Output to the Computer
  6. 4 Thermocouplers with digital temp readouts to monitor the temperature

As you can see from the list above I have spent quite a bit on the rework hardware. Why? Because you have to in order to get a successful fix!

Check out my feedback and you'll see I'm a good guy! I take care of my customers and will do whatever I have to in order to make sure you are satisfied.

A Little About Me: 

I have been building and repairing computers and laptops since 1989. I have seen a lot of customers bring in their laptops after taking it to a computer shop only to be told it needs a new motherboard. After finding out what was wrong with them, I researched and found out how to fix them. Well, that was over 7 years ago and have been fixing them ever since. The problem comes from the manufacturers using non-leaded solder on the GPUs. After many cycles of heating and cooling cracks in the solder joint develop and short the unit. This causes the unit not to boot.

I am trying to offer a complete, easy and affordable solution for my customers as I know everyone is trying to stretch their dollar these days.

I go the extra distance for my customers and pride myself in helping my customers and make sure they are happy with their purchase and experience. I try very hard to answer any questions and return emails as quickly as possible. I answer emails usually from 7am till around 2pm. I sometimes will also answer them in the evening.

***Note***: I have put extra handling time to the listing so it calculates the right amount of time from the time you order the listing, ship me the unit, do the attempted repair and have it marked as being shipped. Due to my low cost I do sometimes get backed up. I do my best and want to keep the prices low so please keep this in mind when placing your order. If you need your system back QUICKLY I do offer a rush service so lease let me know and I will let the customer know the details.

Give me chance, you'll be glad you did!

In the pictures with the listing, I am showing what a used laptop just opened looks like. The blue rubber pad on the GPUs do little to transfer the heat efficiently. I replace this with a copper shim. Also as you can see in my example, the silicon wasn't even centered on the CPU. Let me fix it and "cool" your laptop and extends it's life!

Give me chance, you'll be glad you did!

I will email you the workorder form and SHIPPING address from the PayPal notification that I receive.   It's a PDF form that you just need to print and fill it out and include it in the box when you go to send your unit.

Email Questions and Answers:

There will never be a time when the customer should feel the need to open a case.  Any type of opened case counts now against the seller. The same goes for any Neutral or Negative feedback. This is for all sellers. This results in many things that impact the seller. If your wanting a update / status of your unit please email me directly. You can respond directly from the first start of our email conversation. Just hit the reply button on your email client and type your message. Hit send and you're good to go. You don't need to hit the respond button in the email or go back thru eBay each time to send a email. Just in case you didn't know this. This is the preferred way as the emails will always have the dialog of our conversations. I like this as I can go back and reference something should I have a question. You can also email me directly at the email address found on the work order. Just include your eBay ID when emailing me. I do sometimes keep a unit longer than might have been expected. Please know that I'm still working on it. I can send the unit back at any time so please just let me know. I am very busy and unless I have a question or something I don't usually send out updates. I do when I'm done. Please send me a email and I'll be glad to let you know what the status is and where I'm at with it. After going thru the unit the first time and not getting it working I put it in my problem area. I go back to these and continue working on them while still working on the incoming units. The problem units are the ones that I will usually spend hours on. I try my best to repair a unit and hate having to tell a customer their unit wasn't fixable. I try to answer all emails as quickly as possible. I believe in providing a high level of customer service from before the sale thru the end of the service. I also am happy to answer any questions later on down the line. Please feel free to ask me a question any time. I am here to answer any and all questions a customer might have. I try and answer emails from 7am-2pm eastern time. If you send me a email after this time then I will usually respond the following morning. I am usually out on the weekends. If you send me a email Friday afternoon through Sunday night then I will usually respond to you first thing Monday morning. I do sometimes answer emails over the weekend but not all the time. I am out of the office most major holidays as well. Again I respond as quickly as possible to emails but keep in mind the times I've listed above.

Feedback and DSR Ratings:

If you take a minute to see the feedbacks I've received you'll see that I take care of my customers. Not every customer leaves feedback and I have well over 9000 transactions on eBay. I've had some customers feel the need to leave negative feedback if I wasn't able to fix their unit. This isn't fair to me and the eBay community. The customer paid me to preform a service which I did. I stayed within the terms of eBay and our agreement. If you feel that getting your unit back in a non-working condition merits you leaving negative feedback for me then I would prefer you look to someone else to perform the service. I run a honest family business and this type of feedback is not acceptable. I understand that you've spent money to try and have the unit repaired and I've spent my time working on it but please keep in mind that some units simply just aren't going to work. They might have more damaged components or require more parts and time than it's worth to try to fix. Working logic boards are available on eBay and I will be more than happy to get the customer a quote. In situations like this I will only charge the customer the actual cost of the part. Of course I would only order something after getting their approval. Again I take the time to do all this and therefore don't understand why someone would think leaving negative feedback is okay. I am providing a low cost service and have time and expenses invested in the repair. This isn't like buying a tangible product on eBay. This is a service! There may be issues that arise that are beyond my control. Please keep this in mind. Negative feedback hurts future sales. This is true for any company selling on eBay. Some tend to look at the companies negative feedback and base their decision solely on that.

I again thank you for your time, consideration and hope that you will choose me to perform the service. I have a ton of repeat customers as well as many companies that utilize me time and time again. 

***Note***: I cannot be held responsible for any damages to your MacBook or Logic Board. By purchasing this listing you are agreeing to this. While I take every precaution while working on your unit there is still the possibility that the unit might not work afterwards.  Anytime you work on a unit there is the possibility that further components can short causing the unit not to function at all. This can happen with any service company so just keep that in mind. I think though that the low cost of the attempted repair outweighs the cost of having to get a new board. If for some reason the board isn't fixable then I'll let the customer know what the amount would be should they want to have me get a working board. Since your buying this service then something is wrong with the unit and warrants the attempted repair to begin with.

Thank you so much for choosing me and helping to support my family.
