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.
