HP TX1000 Entertainment Tablet PC GPU Fix

A friend of mine ask for a favor to take a look at his HP TX1000 Entertainment Tablet PC blackout LCD problem. I have no idea on how to fix this until I found below video.


Instead of using bulb, I used a heat blower to re-flow the chip.



From my observation, there is a the gap between the GPU and the heat sink was join by a burned thermal conductive silicone sponge.



I replace this with an aluminum foil folded a couple of times to get just the right thickness.



After reassemble it back together and now, the moment of truth, Hey! it works! :-)

Thanks a lot jasonshay2. You really save my day.
