Seems pretty easy to repair – I have one extra question-I had same problems like others here … black screen etc …. then I tryied to connect to external monitor … turned laptop on and I went into BIOS settings, then restarted and nothing changed, no signs of display working, but even on the external monitor I got into same problem,needed to restart laptop cause black monito … question … does that means I can apply your repair system ? – until BIOS – pc is working on “own” graphic ?
does an external monitor work when its like this? i have lines through my dv2000 laptop display, but it works fine with an external monitor. could it still be the classic gpu problem in my case? i’ve heard conflicting information about whether this effects all dv2000s or just some of the nvidia chips.
hi rgere APSrepair. recently, my dv2000 screen was shattering and had multi screen. I know it was the graphic card problem, so ive used the heat gun to reflow it. It worked, but sometimes the screen went back shattering, but will be fix if restarted. but then again, i cant play any videos or it would completely freeze the laptop. do i have to rehead the graphic card like you did on the video? or is it a driver problem instead of the hardware itself?
I would love to see a full clip of the disassebly
Is that possible?
obviously Hp laptops are made to last a certain time 2-3 tops then despose the unit. pretty cleaver for hp! its not the design look at their units many hp laptops has he same problems. on all their models LOL!!!!
@desultorynz In some cases it is a faulty GPU, due to the GPU being damaged to constant over-heating. And in that case, the complete replacement of the GPU will be the only solution.
However, in this particular laptop, the GPU is still working, it is only the solder joints which go bad due to the high temperatures.
isn’t the reason why the screen stops working because of the poor / faulty nvidia mobile gpu chip model used in this and many other laptops? Wouldn’t you need to un-solder and physically replace the gpu chip with another to REALLY completely fix the properly properly? Or are you saying that the fault is never the gpu, rather than the solder joints always going bad?
This kind of fix lasts a couple weeks at the most.
@wazamani Yes they will, it is due to the actual design of the laptop. So the fix will work for a while before the problem will arise again, the only way around it is to buy a different model of laptop which does not suffer from poor heat dissipation.
for dis series its seems that the problems will appear again after some time ….whats about your laptop its still working up to now?
Not at all, it was a few seconds of testing just to see if the screen would turn on. Thermal kinetics would state that the chip will not be able to generate heat fast enough to do any damage.
wow you should commit a grave mistake by testing the unit without installing y=the heat sink on the processer or graphic card
does anyone know why my sound and music would be skipping and lagging on this laptop? ive also seen a lack in gaming performance…If someone could help me please reply and ill subscribe!.
I just replaced the jack on my Inspiron 6000 and it is now working, but not on battery. It says 10% available (plugged in, charging) but as soon as I remove the power cable it shuts down. The battery and ac adaptor were recently replaced. Any ideas?
i have the same problem with my dell inspiron 1100

The same thing happened to me and i was told i need a new motherboard probly but i dont want to spend alot of money…what should i do
I’m having the same problem with my Dell Inspiron 1300. How much do you think it would run me to replace the DC power jack (I already have the replacement part)?
Thanks
That is solder wick of what I know.
im having the same problem. i was told that i might have to get a new motherboard. how much would that run rough estimate?
Flawless job.
What was that which you stuck the new dc jack in? Please let me know. Thanks for posting these videos.
