Broken System Board. Repair Possible?

Nokia 5233 system board got broken accidentally. The pin on the board for the battery is broken and that edge of the board is slightly damaged. Nokia care says repair's not possible. Please check the photoes, I think it's possible to repair. It's been only 4 months of the purchase, I really want it repaired. Tell me, if it's really impossible to repair. Or it's gonna cost a lot. Then how much it's gonna cost.

If Nokia say it can't be repaired and is scrap, then you've got nothing to lose by trying to repair it. Do you have the piece of board that was broken off? If you do, the Superglue is your friend. The with a very fine soldering iron, lots of light and a big magnifying glass, solder the pin back on. Just be careful though. When Superglue gets hot it gives off Cyanide fumes so don't breath in.
Why would this discussion be forbiddden? The phone is scrap although quite what he was doing to break it in the first place is a different matter.

What is the cost and process for factory refurbish of a tx2-1375dx with a blown system board?cc=us

What is the cost and process for factory refurbish of a tx2-1375dx with a blown system board?
How would one go about arranging for such service?
Why is it impossible to contact a real human for support, either via online chat or phone?

Last I checked I am a real human, it is just that I do not work for HP and can't speak for them. HP would not be the place I would go for a "refurbish" job. They charge an arm and a leg for out of warranty service. You simply need to find someone to replace the system board (motherboard). It is also very likely on that model that you could have your system board repaired. There are many services on ebay that will repair the motherboard at the component level. The cost would be at or under $100 or so. I have more advice to give but many times I write a detailed response only to have the user never come back. I do check my posts so if you want more ideas just please respond. The tx2-1000 was one of the models affected by the nVidia issue that caused so many HP laptops made in the 2007-2009 era to fail prematurely.

L720 SIM Connection Points Broken - Repair Possibl...

Accidently, i damaged the sim connection points inside the sim jacket. The phone does not pick up SIM anymore. Took it to local repair shops, they tried but it did not work. They say the micro SIM jacket has to be replaced and it is not available in market yet. Would Nokia Care be having it and is repair possible? Please note it's the sim jacket on the board, not the one you put the sim on and then place it into the slot.
I fear the phone is gone for good. Has anyone had similar experience and did your phone get repaired by Nokia Care?
Phone is Lumia 720 - I bought it exactly 2 years ago and although it has visited Nokia care thrice, still I love the Windows Phone. Cannot imagine dropping it for any other mobile

This can often happen if an older-style Mini-SIM that has been cut down to Micro-SIM size because the older ones were slightly thicker. As has already been said, the repair could be expensive.

Example of NI's Detailed Module/Board Repair Report

Is an example available of NI's Detailed Module/Board Repair Report. I am returning an SCXI-1581 module for repair under warranty due to a single channel being >25% out of spec. A detailed repair report can be purchased from NI for $99. I need to determine if the detailed repair report contains info from which I can determine why the SCXI-1581 module was out of spec after < 6 months usage.

IPhone5 bad system board

Yesterday my i5 was at 40% and i decided to plug it in which i noticed it wasnt charging so i rebooted the phone but it wouldnt power back on. I did a handful of hard resets and finally got the screen to show the 'plug in to charge' icon. Im thinking it was at 40% how can it be dead. I plugged it in and wouldnt charge. Tried several cables that worked on the ipad and still wouldnt work with the i5. So i took it in to a local phone repair which they stuck a new battery in and the phone booted but would not charge. They replaced the charge port and still wouldnt charge so they deemed it unrepairable and something wrong with the system board. This phone was bought in Oct 2012 so its about 1.5 yr old. Will apple fix this? whats the procedure on this since its out of warranty?

If the place that repaired the phone was Apple authorized:
If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:

Is is the BIOS or the system board?

Hi. I have a pc manufactued by a deceased company named Quantex. The pc has a MSI MS-6199VA
system board with W6199VAFD v3.3 121799 Bios, an Intel P6C (Coppermine) Pentium III 733Mhz
processor and a VIA Apollo Pro 133 chipset.
I have been having some trouble with the pc over the last month. It has an nVidia GeForce 256 video
card and around the middle of October I updated my install of Norton SystemWorks from NSW 2002 to
NSW 2003 as well as updating the nVidia drivers to the latest version (40.72). Things have not been the
same since. I started getting random system freezes and 0D or 0E Fata Exceptions as Windows 98SE
was starting to initialize and display the desktop and Windows signon. I was always able to restart in
Safe Mode, but not always able to get around the Fatal Exception in normal mode.
Over the course of the next month, the pc never really attained stability. Sometimes it ran fine for a while,
then would just freeze. I started backing up more often and got PowerQuest Drive Image for disaster
recovery purposes. I already had a tape drive, but sometimes the tape backup software would
freeze/stop functioning in the middle of a backup.
I then got a larger hard drive, so that I do Drive Image backups to HDD rather than CD-RW. I got an
ATA-100 80 Gb drive but did not yet install it.
This past week I checked your website to see if I could find any additional information about my BIOS
and if it would support the new hard drive. I saw that I was on v3.3 and that you have v3.5. It also
appeared to me that v3.5 was needed for the new drive. It also seemed to me that my issues could be
hardware (ie, system board) related.
Anyway, I used your v3.5 BIOS update utility to backup my existing BIOS. Double checked my system
board and chipset and then tried the v3.5 update. The flash update did not write completely (out of the
two full rows of white progress boxes around 6 of them were blue). I restored the original bios and
regained some function. However, I can no longer even get through the CMOS setup without the pc
freezing.
I have reseated all cards and the processor as well as trying only one memory chip at a time. Nothing
has changed the behavior. I even reflashed the v3.5 BIOS, this time with a clean update (all white
progress boxes). Still no stability.
I am just looking for some advice. It my system board gone? Was it going or did I destroy it with the bios
update? Since my original equipment manufacter is no longer in business I have nowhere to go for
hardware support. Is it possible to find a replacement system board or better to cut my losses and get a
new pc. I am fairly pc competent but not to the point where I would swap out a system board on my own.
Vic

On Friday I decided to take everything apart; including removing the system board and then put it all back together. Believe it or not, without any repairs since I last replied in this forum, my pc is now somewhat revived. It appears as though my problem might have been that the processor was not completely seated in the slot. Does that make sense? The freezing during CMOS setup or OS startup has completely disappeared.
There are still some stability problems and there also appears to be a BIOS issue.
I think the stability problems are from corrupt OS files (Win98 SE) and I am thinking the only recovery for that is to reinstall. Nothing like a perfect opportunity to move this hardware to Windows 2000.
Now for the BIOS question. This board is an MS-6199VA. The BIOS is W6199VMS v3.5 100200 with BIOS ID of 01/01/2000-692-596-W977-2A6LGM4BC-00. At the tail end of the BIOS startup I get the following..
CMOS Checksum error - Defaults loaded.
Warning! CPU has been changed.
Please re-enter CPU settings in the CMOS setup and remember to save before quit.
Press F1 to continue or DEL to enter CMOS setup
I have gone through all the CMOS setup options, set them, changed some; like disabling a serial port and setting up a power on password, and save them. Yet I still get this message every time.
Other than halting the startup until I press F1 or DEL there seems to be no other negatives. Am I missing something or is there a storm coming?

T420 Wearing System Board Insulation in Battery Compartment

From many insertions and removals of batteries, the insulation on the system board of my T420 has begun to wear under the battery (you can see it under the alignment tongue in the following photo). The wear is a bit more pronounced than visible in the photo.
Questions:
a)Is there anything of significance under the insulation (any circuit board components or traces)? Why is the insulation there?
b)If I finally wear through the insulation, are there any special electrical properties where I just can't patch it with clear laminating material (non-conductive) or something like this?
c)Does Lenovo sell this insulation as a spare part (I doubt it)? (And even so, I'd hate to tear the computer apart to replace it--this would take me a good 8 hours.)
d)Anything else I should know?
Thanks, Dave Ashley

A follow-up on this:
I spoke to Apple Australia who said it was not uncommon, even though AppleCare (in India) had said it was not something they had heard of and that I should speak to Customer Relations.
The repair person at the second Apple Store then advised me that the logic board serial no on some machines is in fact the factory's serial no, not Apple's, and therefore it is normal. There is confusion, though, since many newer machines have eg iBooks have Apple's serial no under the key pad.

IMac G5 not starting up after system board install

Six caps blew on my old system board so I ordered a new one and installed it. The system started up great and was running perfectly. However, after the 3rd or 4th reboot, there is no longer anything on the display. I can hear the power click on and after a few seconds, the fans usually start to sing.
I have reset the SMU several times. I have taken the cover off and checked that LED #1 is on when I plug in the power cord. When I push the internal power button, LED #2 comes on and stays lit. Still there is no display.
Can anyone make a suggestion as to what I might check next or what might be going on?
I feel like maybe I didn't get everything plugged in securely when installing the system board, but it was working initially. Any ideas?

It is quite possible that your replaced board is faulty, or that the caps on the power supply have now gone bad. Check every cap in the machine and see what you find.

M305-S4848 Audio Muddy/lack of treble after system board replacement

I recently sent in my M305-S4848 for repair and the system board was replaced. (wouldn't charge while powered on)
After receiving my laptop back from repair I noticed that the sound quality of my speakers had gone downhill. There is no crackling/hissing and the like but there is a muddy, midrange filled tone and a reduction in treble and clarity. When this computer was serviced the BIOS was updated and the software was set back to factory spec.
     I have a second m305-S4848 that I purchased for my wife at the same time. Our computers sounded the same before mine was sent for repair and different now. I have spoken to Toshiba support, had a remote session performed by a high level tech. No one seems to have any idea what may be wrong. I was told to send in the computer again.
     The concern I have is that the sound is more mediocre than bad and if serviced by a tech without a good ear, the moderate audio problem will not be noticed/corrected/taken seriously. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping someone might know what could have happened and the best way to communicate my problem to whatever service depot my notebook may be sent to.
BTW: Notebook seems to be running well in all other respects at this point.
                                             Thanks in advance
                                                            Jason

Bad system board?

I've got a Compaq Presario CQ61-411WM laptop on which the touchpad & all 3 USB ports are dead. I suspect there's a problem with the system board that's causing both issues - possibly a bad (BGA) connection on the Southbridge chip? The weird thing is that the keyboard works fine.
Before I invest in a new system board, and info or advice will be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks. Yes, I've already tried booting from a couple different "live cd's", and still no go on the touchpad or USB ports. It's definitely a hardware issue, so I'm gonna go ahead and try a new system board.
It's an Intel-based board, so the Southbridge chip handles all the hardware I/O (USB, IRQ assignments, DMA, etc). The only thing that mystifies me is the fact that the keyboard and SATA devices work fine. Go figure...
Once I get the new board, I'll post the results here.
Hopefully I won't have any issues related to HP's infamous "System Board OOA" error messages after the board swap.

X61 system board fix

Hi, my X61 laptop died recently (system board) and the quote from IBM New Zealand is $2900 which is too much considering that a new laptop was $2200. It's year and half old and I think there is only 1 year warranty by law in New Zealand. Is there any other place to send my laptop or can I use international warranty in another country? Also is there any way to fix system board without replacing it? Thanks for help, Jaro

it depends on how detailed you can be describing your predicament, so far you've explained it is your system board but without describing which functions of the motherboard nor the diagnosis leading you to the conclusion it is the moboard instead of plugin modules to the board.
So, in a general answer to your general question...NO, you can't have a motherboard repaired.
Don't just sit there, take a second and use the Kudo's button to compliment the people who help you.

MORE THAN 26 DAYS AND COUNTING TO CHANGE A SYSTEM BOARD. Got the parts, GOT laptop.

I have been trying to get my laptop to be fixed through my EasyServ Warranty.
The first time I called and started the process was June 6th, 2008. It took them until June 18th, 2008 to return my laptop, but They put in it the WRONG SYSTEM BOARD. Can you believe that THE WRONG SYSTEM BOARD.
In June 18th, 2008 I called to report that. They send me another box to return the laptop to them so they could fix THEIR mistake.
Now, I have been trying to figure out what is going on with my laptop, but every time I call 1-800-887-7435 I get deferent status, It depends on the person who answers the phone. Some of them said "They are working on the machine", and anothers say " It is on hold for parts and we can not tell for how long".
I recalled the technical support to see if they could do anything about, but they said THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING. Basically I am in my own.
I use my laptop for work, and before this I had the best experience with technical support. It seems like they just do not give a s**** about customers satisfactions.

Lenovo have to call their customer number too, and the Solectron people like to put them on hold. Only when a Lenovo Executive gets involved like Mark_Lenovo can any problem with Solectron get resolved, as normal worker wouldn't have special contact numbers within the Solectron's management. So Lenovo call center workers get as frustrated as you if not more, as they hear complaints after complaints about them been thick and incompetent regarding depot repairs, when there is nothing more they can do, but obviously customers don't know the full story.
