[RamonetB]

Hey ALL.

THe Video chip, do to a manufacturering error that didn't mount it properly, in my WInbook XL is damaged and I need a new one.

It's the CHIPS and TECHNOLOGIES B65554 BGA Chip (Also Asailant Technologies).

I found it here: http://www1.allamerican.com/direct/...+&T_MFGCOD=ASIL&T_PRDID=B65554+++++++++++++++

for $40 for 400Units!

I don't need that many!

Can anyone suggest where I can get fewer?

Thanks

1) why don't you contact winbook and get a new laptop? if the part was mounted incorrectly, it never worked properly and the laptop should be under warrantee.

2) if you get a new part (and you get the correct one) how are you going to mount it?

You can't mount a BGA chip with a soldering iron, you know that right?

The laptop is nearly 4 years old, bought third hand, and is by far no longer under warrenty. So that isn't an option. As for buying another laptop, why spend something like $500 for another laptop (I'm in no need of too much power) or 1000 from a store when there's the possibility of fixing this one? Especially for 10cents.

I am also aware of the fact that you can't solder a BGA chip on. So how am I going to mount it? I have a few ideas, most foremest is that there's a heatplate that sandwhiches the current chip between the board and the itself. I may not be able to solder it on, but I may be able to keep it in position anyway.

Yes yes, I know, hard to believe, crazy ideas and probably won't work. But if I can get this chip for even a few dollars, I think it's worth a try.
