Indeed, replacing the PMH would be less wasteful. The CPU is an i5-2520M.nitrocaster wrote:A reasonable way to go is to replace the PMH. Which CPU do you have on your board: i5 or i7?
You can carefully cut each terminal and remove the chip itself, leaving the stumps soldered to the pads. Then use a blob of leaded solder to remove the stumps, clean the pads with a wick, cover them with flux, place new PMH and solder any two opposite pins while holding the chip flat on the board. Next, solder the rest of pins, clear the junk with alcohol and you're all set.vade wrote:Indeed, replacing the PMH would be less wasteful.

I wonder, can such a factory-mounted component be replaced using nothing but a modest soldering iron?
You can buy both on eBay or AliExpress. If you were using X230, I could send you a replacement PMH (bought 6 of them during diagnosing my dead X230 board).vade wrote:PMH replacement sounds doable with that technique. Now just need to find a working PMH and a replacement for F1 fuse.
I very much appreciate the effort you (and others) put into diagnosing the consequence of my mistake. Learned quite a lot. Thank you.
'PHM' was a typo. PMH = Power Management Hub or so called 'Think Engine', which drives power mosfets, monitors voltages and temperatures.RealBlackStuff wrote:Excuse my dumb question, but what is PMH/PHM?
Shopping for parts now. X220 schematic says the PMH is a BU77700KVT-GP. However, I looked at the chip and it says only BU77700KVT without the -GP suffix. Is it relevant?nitrocaster wrote:You can buy both on eBay or AliExpress.
'GP' is just some generic siffux used in their part library, ignore it.vade wrote:Shopping for parts now. X220 schematic says the PMH is a BU77700KVT-GP.

Status for shipping to USA unchanged, still waiting...nitrocaster wrote:Russian Post attempts second try:
The connector has to be located on the left side. Otherwise the cable would not be long enough.Smradek wrote:Hi nitrocaster.
I can get LQ133M1JW03 on taobao for 350 RMB plus shipping. The eDP connector is located on the right side of the panel. Is Your eDP cable long enough to reach the connector on the panel?
Ok, so now we need a side switcher flat ribbon (I can only find 40 pins), an extension or a new longer cable.nitrocaster wrote: The connector has to be located on the left side. Otherwise the cable would not be long enough.
OK, I gave up on 13.3" and ordered two LG LP125WF2-SPB4nitrocaster wrote:The connector has to be located on the left side. Otherwise the cable would not be long enough.Smradek wrote:Hi nitrocaster.

I have. It contracts very much after curing and does not fill plated through holes, so the adapter board would fall off easily. One could use it for attaching the sense wire though. But if you can solder PTHs, why not solder the sense wire as well?Smradek wrote: When the kits arrived I've seen how small this things really are, so ordered this too

Agree. It doesn't fit ootb. But...boutch55555 wrote:the LQ133M1JW03 is wider than casing, no fit.
No, I mean the screen is 0.5 - 1mm wider than the exterior of the casing. It just can't physically fit.x3o2 wrote:To make it fit, you have to adapt the casing big time. If you want one of the best 13'' panels around in a 12'' machine, go this way.
What do you say about this one?boutch55555 wrote:No, I mean the screen is 0.5 - 1mm wider than the exterior of the casing. It just can't physically fit.
You seem to get it now. They remove the frame from the LCD.boutch55555 wrote:Pictures worth a thousand words...
