T30 system board replacement

I have a T30 type 2366-86U that I believe has a bad system board (plug in the new charger and the only thing that lights up is the battery indicator- plus I can smell the plastic getting hot- pretty sure its the board) The tag says 236-86U. I can get a replacement real cheap off one of those bid sites but its a 2366-FBU. How interchangeable are the boards? I've been through the KB and read the HMM but there isn't any information about the antiques I'm working with! Anyone know if the two boards (or any other 2366 model) will fit in the machine? Thanks

The board from FBU is actually a better one, type II which supports CPUs over 2.0 Ghz. Go for it.
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

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

DV5T-2200 System Board Replacement

I recently recieved a DV5T-2200 which does not post. It powers up fine & the screen lights up but displays absoultely no information. (Same goes even if attached to an external monitor). I'm fairly certain the system board needs to be replaced.
Do you guys concur with my reasoning?
I can acquire a system Board for a DV5T-2000 (for a measly $28). I'll view some tutorials on how to dissemble the DV5t's if I can find them. I'll need to order the Recovery Media the 2200 as that's the SN although the board will be for the 2000.
What issues might I expect if any.?
Thanks,
CG

Have you tried different memory? If that does not work I am leaning toward the motherboard theory.
The dv5-2000 board should fit and work. Is the original Windows Key Code still visible? Assuming it is Windows 7 you can just download an OEM .iso and reinstall with that. HP will charge you for a recovery disk set for an out-of-warranty machine. Post back if you need more help.
Here is the Manual:

Almost 1 month and still no system board replacement

Has anyone else had any probelms getting a replacement system board for a T420S? I have been waiting for a tech to come out on a three week old laptop to replace a bad system board and still am awaiting a backordered part.

duplicitis,
Sorry to hear that you are delayed on parts. Calkenneth is offering fair advice - If you purchased from Lenovo directly in the US, and the failure is within the first 21 days you could get the system replaced as a DOA. Call your sales rep and you will need to provide the service case number.
We can also escalate your service case. Would you send me a PM with your contact info and service case number?
Will try to move this along for you.
Thanks for speaking up,
Mark

Pavillion a6200n system board?

About a month ago my computer okay but seemed to be working when no one was on it. Then it started to have problems booting, I had to choose between starting windows or system recovery. The windows option worked for a while then it stopped with blue screens, different ones but seemed to be mostly io checksum errors. So I let the recoevery take place. That worked for a while then it started to freeze up when left alone for a long time. Then it stopped booting, the machine would power on but no monitor so I did the f10 tapping while booting and that worked for a while but I noticed I couldn't get in the bios. I then upgraded the bios and that worked for about 2 days then I had to reboot and using the f10 tap I could get it up for awhile but rebooting was not an option because I had to work to get it back up. tap f1 then froze on the hp screen, tap f10 got passed the hp screen but froze on black screen with cursor up in the left corner, tap f10 and get to windows start where it froze there and various combinations of system recovery and other things. I had the system board replaced about 8 months ago about 2 days before the warranty ran out but of course, there isn't a warranty on this new motherboard. I have run all of the system diagnostics that came with the pc, memory, hard drive, processor all passed but something is wrong. I am pretty sure the system board is junk because now the f10 tap stopped working and the processor fan doesn't stop running (or slow down) like it normally wo used to. Just thought i'd ask before buying a new unit.

Replaced system board? How to restore system serial number with a CD.

I have an l412 with a defective system board- would not POST. So I replaced the system board (it's a year out of warranty) and booted up, only to be met with an error code about a sytem serial number mismatch. Boots OK, but system update does not work (because of the serial number mismatch).
The instructions for WHAT to do about this are in the online service manual http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/60y3635_02.pdf
When the computer was manufactured, the EEPROM on the system board was loaded with the serial numbers of the system and all major components. These numbers need to remain the same throughout the life of the computer.
If you replace the system board, you must restore the serial number of the system unit to its original value.
You need the LENOVO ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette to do this. This floppy disk is only available to certified Lenovo service centers. Or those who know how to use google. Versions 1.75, 1.76 and 1.83 are the ones I have used. If you can't find them, you probably should not be trying this anyway.
You read that correctly- DISKETTE. As in floppy disk. How many laptops have one of these? Now you see the problem.
The real trick is HOW to do this- without a USB floppy drive. If you have one of these, stop, you don't need to know this.
For the rest of us....
First, find a computer with a floppy drive. Any computer.
Extract/install the HMD archive onto it. Follow the instructions in the file to make an HMD floppy disk.
Use this program http://www.boodaa.de/index.php/download-mainmenu-31/bootdisk2bootstick-mainmenu-44 to make an image of the floppy. Be sure to save it as a .img type, not .bin
Use this program http://paulski.com/zpages.php?id=1814 to create a bootable CD image using the floppy .img file you just made.
Burn the ISO to a CD and boot from it.
At least on my L412, it works!

you can only download the trial version unless you purchased from adobe and there's a link under your account, https://www.adobe.com/account.html

Performing a system restore on iBook that has had its logic board replaced

I want ot do a system restore on my iBook G3. I had to send it in for a logic board replacement and received new install discs when it was returned to me. My problem is that I would like to have my iPhoto software and iMovie software that was installed on my computer when I purchased it. I have to do a clean install with the Mac OS X 10.3 disks that were shipped with the replacement of the logic board I will lose this. I want to use the system restore disks that came with my iBook when I originally purchased it. Is this possible since I have had my logic board replaced?

The simplest way to reinstall iPhoto and iMovie is to download Pacifist and then extract the relevant applications from the Software Restore Discs.
Pacifist comes with instructions; this is not a difficult operation and there is no need for erase & install to recover the applications.
Pacifist is Shareware, but you need not pay the fee in order to use it. Every time that you open Pacifist you will be prompted to purchase a licence. If you feel that Pacifist is worth the money (and I think that it is), you can purchase a licence at any stage.
If you're a plonker like me, then purchasing a licence will provide justification for third party developers like CharlesSoft to save the day for the rest of us.
Good luck!

System Logs & File Tags - logic board replacement

Hi,
I do have some queries for the logic board replacement on macbook pro running Yosemite:
If logic board is replaced -
1) Does the system log files available in console [Finder -> Applications -> Utilities -> Console] gets deleted or they will still be showing up from the date prior to the replacement of the logic board?
2) If I've created file tags before LB replacement, will they still show up after the replacement?
Any insight into the above will be of immense help.
Thanks.

It would need to be done by Apple Service. They should have the equipment to do this. Your serial number can be found under the battery and on you box your MacBook came in.

REPLACED SYSTEM BOARD

I replaced my system board with a new one straight from HP. It works great except that when it boots i get a SYSTEM BOARD ERROR (00A)- PRODUCT NAME, PRODUCT CONFIGURATION, PRODUCT SERIAL NUMBER, PRODUCT NUMBER. Basically it thinks I have a counterfeit copy of Windows on my laptop. Can you tell me how to fix this?

You're very welcome.
A very good question for which I do not have an answer, as I do not work for HP.
I only know that HP never does tell you that tattoo process needs to be applied.
But you do know now, and you know what needs to be done.

How can you brand a serial number onto the system board?

I just replaced a system board and need to brand it with the appropriate serial number. How do I accomplish that? I have software to run when I do that with Dells or Lenovos. How can I do it with an HP?

Hi:
You cannot tattoo a HP notebook. It has to be done by an authorized HP tech service center where they have a DMI tool for that which is not available to the public.
You can tattoo some HP business desktops with this software, link below. It might work on HP consumer desktops but I don't know since I have never tried it on one.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12...
This program makes a bootable floppy disk, and cannot be installed via any other method than a FDD or USB FDD.
It works on many other HP business desktops other than those listed. It has been used successfully in PC's up to a couple years old.

Z77A-GD65 power issue/bad system board?

Looking for advice. I am afraid its a bad board, but some symptoms point at power which also makes no sense.
This is what the WHOLE system should look like.
MSI Z77A-GD65 system board
Intel 3770K 3.5Ghz
Anted Kuhler H20 620
G.Skills RipJaws 16GB 1600Mhz DDR3 F3-14900CL9Q-16GBXL (on the test list)
Asus nVidia GTX 680 video card
OCX Vertex 3 256MB SSD
Seagate 500GB data drive
Razer Lycosa Keyboard
Razer DeathAdder Mouse
Antec Sonata IV case with Neo ECO 620W power supply
It seems to me that 620W should be more than enough. According to my calculations thats roughly 330W of power draw against a 620W powersupply.
I am not currently over clocking.
So what the system does look like is:
If I connect the 500GB drive then windows starts rebooting as soon as the Windows logo comes up.
If I place all four sticks of RAM in the system windows starts rebooting as soon as the Windows logo comes up.
If I leave the 500GB standard sata drive off and only use 3 sticks of RAM... well we get a solid system and I am writing this message on it.
3 sticks of ram appear to work in any 3 slots and allow the system to boot, except 1,3,4. That combo also resulted in the reboots at the windows logo.
I first thought it was RAM, originally I was using Corsair Vengeance. I saw some posts here about people having the same problem, and noted that the Corsiar RAM was not tested and switch to a the tested G.Skill instead.
Any ideas? It does not completely seem like a System board issue, but it certainly should not be power. All heat levels are well within normal and as I said the system works great if I leave off the drive and one stick of RAM.
Thanks guys....

System torn down, and put back together. (Found out I was out of Thrermal Compound, so I had to run to the store to get some.)
No long leads, only 9 stand offs matching each mount point on the systemboard.
Back together... problem is the exact same.
However, back to the hard drive issue. I decided to play with that since I was getting no where with 4 sticks of RAM.
What I have discovered is that with NO sata cable connecting the drive to the system board, if I try to power the two 250GB standard sata drives the system reboots just as the Windows logo should come up.
The fact that this behavior is so close to the RAM behavior... I am back to thinking its a power issue, though system board is still a chance... its just easier to buy a new better power supply than the Antec Neo Power 620 that came with the case. (I have not ever had a problem with Antec before, and will likely just buy one of their higher end power supplies to replace it, but I think I will try it next, just in case.)
I am not seeing any strange behavior power wise as far as any monitor shows... but connecting power to a sata drive that is NOT connected with a sata cable and causing a reboot just screams power at me.
Anymore thoughts today. In the mean time off to play Secret World with just the SSD and two sticks of RAM, which still runs rock solid.

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:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:

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.

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.
