Nvidia G84/G86 = Dead Laptops ( how to revive dead laptops)

Greetings and welcome back, today we venture into the world of reviving dead laptops due to the failure that was the G84 and G86 Chipset from nvidia, check it out here, you might be surprised on how many models from hp/compaq and many other companies are affected.

HOW WE GOT HERE
To recap a little, we saw last time, how Nvidia ventured forth into an unknown territory by utilizing a new and untested proccesing scheme that involved materials and bindings that technically operated at a given TDP, but ultimately  after the disaster and trough testing was discovered that function with a higher TDP, coupled with the unsufficient cooling solution provided by HP/Compaq and you have the recipe for disaster: A  Chipset/Video part  that heats up beyond its structural treshold and breaks down causing death upon its wake.

Nvidia G84/G86 = Dead Laptops Everywhere! (how to check and save your laptop) Part I

COMPUTERS - Smaller costs more!
Computers, Laptops, netbooks and most portable devices all share the same components but at a smaller scale, with  central proccesing units(CPU), storage solution, graphic proccesing units (GPU), screen for output, keyboard or tactile pad, and many other components that  work together in harmony for you pleasure! o.O

Manufacturing small scale electronics is a expensive business, and thus why laptops and small devices always seem to cost much more than their desktop counterparts, every year companies try to push the envelope and shrink down the manufacturing process, developing smaller and efficient parts that generate less heat and require less energy to function.

CHIPSET - the heart of all
