That problem is the gpu overheat, you just need to reflow the chip using a heat source (like a heat air soldering station, dryer, high power lamp...)at 150 ?c or so over 10 minutes. (preferably use a heat shield over the motherboard while heating the chip, you can make one using carton with aluminum paper glued on it and making a small hole to get heat access to the chip).

It works really fine!

PD: I dont recomend to bake it in the oven LOL!!!!

Well, you can fix temp isues removing the black paint from the sink using acetone (5 to 10 C? reduction), buy a nice thermal conductive grease like quick silver, removing the strange GPU rubber and apying some of the thermal paste with a slim piece of copper or aluminium to fill the space between the sink and the GPU chip, the piece must be really slim to no tilt the surface between the CPU and sink.

After this procedure you can reduce the temperature 10 to 20 c? down!

PD: sorry about my english =P

I agree !!

PrototypeNM1 is a genius! the baked method worked !!

The problem is most likely from the GPU overheating. Here are your options:

1. High Difficulty, High Success: You can do what others have done and try to fix it yourself, voiding all warrantees and such. This involves taking your laptop apart, re-seating the GPU (by heating the GPU area to melt the solder around the pins), adding a metal shim to connect the GPU to the CPU heat sink and then re-assembling your laptop after it cools down.
2. Medium Difficulty, High Success: You can also go into the Control Panel in Windows and remove the GPU device from the hardware. This will force Windows to run without using the GPU, but you will get less then desireable graphics capabilities (low number of colors, low resolutions, no fancy graphics, etc.)
3. Medium Difficulty, Medium Success: You can go into your BIOS and set your CPU fan to run at max speed all the time (the CPU is right next to the GPU). The noise of the fan at high speed gets annoying after a while and only delays the tiime until the GPU fails again.
4. Low Difficulty, Low Success: If you are not technically inclined at all, you can change your usage patters, aka, don't do anything graphics intensive. Adobe Flash will often trigger high GPU usage, so beware of web usage (web browsing to "interactive" sites). No games, no movies on the laptop, nothing requiring fancy graphics at all. IE8 uses the GPU, so avoid IE8.

Another way to reduce the problem is to reduce the Processor Power Maximum and Minimum state in the Power Options (advanced power settings) and some other options in that tab. (In other words, saying to the computer "Don't use too much juice" is like saying "Don't overuse everything you got" so it's a way to reduce the possibilities of overheating.)

If you do this, you're computer temperature will drop dramatically. (was constantly between 70 and 80 degree celcius and it felt to 45-65)

Just don't forget to change both options for when it's plugged in or on battery.

Never mind for the two wires i took a closer look and realised i pulled out one of the wires with its socket... I definitely need a solder gun

FIXED IT !!!!!!!

Hello everybody

I had the same problem yesterday, but i manage to fix it

Only thing you got to do is to drain out the battery then plug in the power cord and start it.

people still struggling with this issue I recommend to try this it will definitely work guys ...

PrototypeNM1 said:  Nilay | You're describing a separate problem, or else removing the battery would yield the same results.

Well I meant i fixed the blinking LED black screen problem not overheating. And 1 more thing removing the battery and draining the battery will NOT give you same results turst me I have tried it. Leave the laptop on till the battery drains then plug in the power plug and it will definately work.

this is for People who have blinking LED and black screen problem and still are struggling to fix it ... this is a alternative solution rather than putting your mobo in oven...
