Replacement of the north bridge, south bridge, video chip (replacement of BGA elements)
In modern laptops, one of the most common problems is the
destruction of the south or north bridge. Almost every third
device will eventually shut down. And, as a rule, this means
that this part of it is burnt. In most cases, your mistake is
not in this issue. Recording of this chip can not only in the
old device, but also in a completely new model that has just
been bought.
Of course, if the laptop is still under warranty, then the
official service center should be repaired or replaced. But if
your device has been purchased for a long time, then it is
worthwhile to seek the help of specialists. Do not try to solve
the problem by yourself.
The main causes of the destruction of the northern and southern
bridges.
The reasons of chipset malfunctioning:
- overheating - the motherboard is running at a high frequency and often overheats (if you do not conduct continuous prophylaxis, the elements can burn out);
- flooding - because of a liquid contacts could oxidize and decay (the more moisture is trapped, the more expensive the repair will cost);
- defect - factory defect is also possible.
