Can someone recommend a GPU repair person?

#1 Post by Thomcat » Mon Aug 18, 2008 4:22 pm

The T41P I cobbled together for my sister just died and it boots, but shows no video internally on the LCD or externally on a monitor.

I searched the forums and could not find the details of a recommended GPU repair person. What is the expected cost?

Thanks,
Thomas

Last I heard, jamiphar (James) was charging $150 (including two way shipping and a shipping box) to re-flow the T4x GPU.

James (jamiphar) had done GPU re-balling on 3 machines for me, all are still perfect, and two of them have survived shipping to Europe. Highest recommendations.

Also, from what I know, the price goes down if you remove the board yourself, but that's something you may want to discuss with him.
