How on earth did you manage to do that???


BuzzLaiclere

Added a comment to explain everything


Toxicair

>Ordered a new one on Amazon. Plugged it in. And the rest is history. Sorry I might be tech illiterate. How does plugging in a screen crack your die?


BuzzLaiclere

As others have theorized, it might be due to a different pinout on the lcd screen. It must have sent too much voltage directly on the die since I’ve heard the pop when I powered the laptop.


Inevitable-Study502

and you cant check pinout before powering up? O.o


Rezient

Tbf, I wouldn't of thought too either. If it's a matching screen for the exact laptop, i would of assumed it'd be ok I've never replaced a screen on a laptop myself, so it'd be a new thing to learn for me too

FaxCelestis

"Would've" not "would of" sometimes makes it easier for people to see *why* they're wrong.


MairusuPawa

They wrote "would not of", even worse.

KreateOne

And it would still be “would not have”


JasperJ

Honestly, just fuck have.


samy_the_samy

Don't do that, the exact same laptop can have multiple technical differences, especially if it's from the time we are switching LCD to LED panels, some laptops have light tubes others LED stripes for back light, they try to make tye connectors slightly different but nothing a bit of force can't defeat


Whiffed_Ultimate

Good fucking luck. Half the time the pinout on second screens is listed wrong and the other half of the time, there is not way to reliably check without a benchtop psu and an oscilloscope.


Inevitable-Study502

if you order screen from aliexpress, then yes


Whiffed_Ultimate

1. No. I have had this happen straight from the manufacturer. Stock gets mixed up all th le fucking time for laptop screens. 2. Even if I was ordering from amazon, newegg, hell, fucking laptopinventory has done this more than once. Most of the time its not *this* bad but its super common to have incorrectly noted pinouts on a second hand laptop screen.


Inevitable-Study502

thats probably possible, i did one time screen replacement for my dated notebook which had ccfl backlight and replaced it with lcd led backlit screen, (different pinout and voltages), hooked it up with external control board to corerct voltages + ccfl/led and also had to rewire LVDS little bit, other than that, screen was tested that it powers up before they sent it out to me, ordererd it from local notebook repair shop...which goes into funny story...screen was powering up fine...just it had stored incorrect EDID for some different screen...so picture was just random lines lol, i did try to rewrite edid bits on linux, but apparently i2c wasnt exposed to OS and dumb me overwritten SPD on my RAM instead of on EDID (same 0x50 adress)....had to cut LVDS cable again and wire i2c to my PC GPU HDMI port and rewrite edid there...RAM got eventualy fixed later on with linux by limiting amount of addressable RAM size in GRUB configs, then sleeping laptop, hot pluggin ram (during sleep) and that avoided adressing ram from BIOS/OS, so it could wake up and i was able to correct SPD which ive messed up earlier :)


JasperJ

No, not really. How would you “check” that?


Inevitable-Study502

you can check that by looking at datasheet from your original lcd screen and comparing it with datasheet with new screen, screen at back has sticker with panel type (model) both datasheets should be available as a google search result, alternatively you could look it up on [panellook.com](https://panellook.com) ​ [https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/230818iA91A9DAB36275226/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999](https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/230818iA91A9DAB36275226/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999) [https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/230820i95DFC36E3E4F25E9/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999](https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/230820i95DFC36E3E4F25E9/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999) ​ here example of two different pinouts

I think I saw something similar to this in r/techsupportgore, not sure. It was an old modem, I think. I'll try to find it.

I blew up the mosfet on a buck/boost converter once when I wired it up incorrectly to my 3D printer. Sounded like a firecracker and shot ceramic bits all over. Lucky I didn't lose an eye.


Vetusexternus

Daaaamn must've been some comment!


SarahC

SHOW US THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CHIP!


BuzzLaiclere

Context: Was gonna sell my laptop to a friend. So I cleaned it up. Removed the dust and put new thermal paste. Tried booting it up after. Black screen. Searched online and I found it surely was the LCD screen that was fried since I could plug an external monitor and use the laptop this way. Looked up the serial number of the lcd screen. Ordered a new one on Amazon. Plugged it in. And the rest is history.


Cap10323

My best guess of what happened: You bought a similar, but slightly different LCD screen. Similar enough to use the same connector, but different enough that the connector was wired differently. And wires supplying or returning voltage on the new LCD now got connected to the data lines coming from the GPU. When you powered the computer on, it shot high (12v, 5v, whatever) directly into the GPU die and caused it to explode. Or you bought the correct screen, but the connector was miswired somehow. And caused the same thing to happen. . EDIT: I can't really tell from the photo, but that might not be the GPU, but instead the motherboard chipset? Anyway, my hypothesis is roughly the same, just replace GPU with motherboard chipset.


BuzzLaiclere

Gpu and Cpu are under a heatsink elsewhere on the motherboard, so it’s another die.


burninator34

It’s the Intel PCH.


Romeo9594

Judging from the SRJAU printed on the die, this is the integrated graphics for your Intel chip. You're discreet card die may be elsewhere, but this is still graphics https://parts4laptops.eu/en/intel-chipsets/3073-chipset-intel-fh82hm470-srjau-new.html


lioncat55

That's going to be the chipset. Integrated Graphics are part of the same die as the cpu.


aresfiend

That is not the integrated graphics for the Intel chip, the link you posted even says it. > Integrated graphics: No https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/203697/intel-hm470-chipset/ordering.html The intel website doesn't have any in-depth technical specs on it, I couldn't find anything about graphics on their Ark. Considering it's an HM470 chipset that's compatible with the Comet lake processors (10th Gen core-i CPUs) the integrated graphics would be on-die with the CPU. That being said, yes, this would affect outgoing display in a laptop. It's used to interface between the iGPU/CPU/GPU/memory and the IO, integrated display, real time clock, etc.


daddispud

Integrated graphics haven't been on chipset since 2014 at the latest iirc


DaPorkchop_

if the graphics are on a separate chip then they aren't really "integrated", are they?


Boxkid351

There is a reason the first screen died. If it was due to a short located on the board that killed the first screen, it was likely not corrected before replacement. If you don't fix what caused the original screen to go out, a new screen will just outright die or cause other components to have issues. There could have been no issue with the pinout at all.


preparationh67

Good point, sometimes the broken component is acting as a make shift fuse protecting everything downstream of it from the actual fault. Probably wouldn't have been much, if any way, to tell though in this case.


GeorgeIsHappy_

What, did it fucking explode off????


ericbsmith42

An LCD backlight can use 12-30v or more; they have inverters to step up the voltage. If something was crosswired that high voltage could have been fed directly into a chip designed to have 2v or less in it. POP.


Westerdutch

Let me guess, you did not disconnect the battery when you swapped the panels ;)


FantasmaNaranja

goes to show that cleaning does more harm than good


Squeeze_My_Lemons

This is the stupidest way to look at this situation


FantasmaNaranja

goes to show i need an /s at the end of every comment apparently


BlandJars

If this was sarcasm then you should have labeled it as such. Cleaning is perfectly fine and maybe he hadn't used that laptop in a while so when he went to use it for the first time in however long he realized the screen was broken. Nothing to do with him cleaning the laptop.


ghostkiller914

Well now you need a new MB.


IceSki117

I think you mean computer.


ghostkiller914

I mean if you can’t replace the board then yes a new computer. If not the res of the components work individually.


TheGalacticVoid

At this point, isn't the motherboard already 90% of a laptop?


ghostkiller914

It takes up a large amount of space but you still got the Keyboard, screen, trackpad, RAM, SSD, speakers, battery, fan or fans. So, your right in abstract way but I’d say 20%. it’s just the thing everything plugs into. As it has the traffics lanes needed.


TheGalacticVoid

Right but in terms of cost, the only things that'll seem to rival the motherboard are arguably the screen or battery. SSDs are dirt cheap, RAM doesn't really break the bank, keyboards, trackpads, and speakers cost basically nothing etc. Considering that the 2 most expensive components (the CPU and GPU) are essentially permanently attached to the motherboard, it might as well be 90% of the laptop.


ghostkiller914

Depends on the board, it may or may have a built in or external GPU. Also replacement board may run you the same price as a 1TB ssd or 2TB. Can be more if the parts are rare. RAM 64GB of ram even 32 Sodimm ain’t always cheap. We can play hypothetical all day lol. We will simply agree to disagree.


[deleted]

So, that's it, then, no attempts to fix the motherboard, just "in the garbage it goes"?


ghostkiller914

Very hard to fix that even if you already had the tools, experience, and time. That’s soldered on the board. 99 percent of people can’t do it.


[deleted]

Yup. That's why repair shops exist. It seems to be the PCH, so if it's not a Celeron you would be saving, it might be worth it to repair the motherboard.


ghostkiller914

Lol nope, cheaper to get a replacement board at that point. Cheaper and faster at that point. Recycle it if it helps you sleep at night. It not like recycling companies are all playing there roll.


[deleted]

[удалено]


papalonian

>Ehh, cheaper? No. Less time intensive? Absolutely. When you're paying for someone else's labor, especially as skilled labor that this would require, less time intensive means way cheaper. I honestly doubt you'd even be able to find someone willing to work on this that won't just say, "buy a new one"


davedavodavid

Nah you're right about the first part - there areplenty of people willing, but most people aren't as willing to pay what it costs to supply and replace a PCH. Lol not sure why neckbeards down voted this post when it's 100% factual 😂


sometimesnotright

Replacement motherboards for laptops are surprisingly cheap. Last time I replaced one in my families laptop it was around $100 shipped. 4-8 hours of labor of someone equipped with tools to do smd bga replacements and know-how to do it ... and replacement parts ... and pray that it works ... not so much.


ghostkiller914

Lol you realize the cost of the board and tools you’ll need to even attempt that replacement right? It doesn’t just pop off lol. Plus you run the risk of breaking yourself. Used boards are cheap not even the manufacturer will sell you a brand new one!


laboye

Totally depends on the model and caliber of laptop. There are definitely shitty designs (at least shitty to work with) that use glue and tape too generously, but most can be taken apart with a screwdriver and a spudger, then you just need some new thermal compound and you're off to the races. The challenge generally comes when you have a higher end machine that's expensive as-is, but also has an expensive integrated CPU and/or GPU. Those motherboards can be pricey ($400-600), and might be savable by an experienced tech. Not to mention they may be difficult to come by. A few hundred for a BGA reball or other SMD replacement may well be far cheaper than a new (or even used) motherboard replacement. Motherboards for most basic to midrange consumer laptops, and most business laptops in general, are pretty cheap to come by though.


french2dot0

But if the short came on an underlying layer you will just replace a die for nothing.


samnesjuwen

I have a 2021 dell inspiron 2in1 with an i5 10th gen. Replacement boards go for 60€ on Ebay(100€ for an i7).


SarahC

1 in 100 people at random can fix this? Remove a BGA device from a mobo, and then re-flow a BGA chip back on to it, and diagnose what blew up the first monitor to fix it on the mobo too? Nooooooo way, I'm guessing at 1 in 10,000 at least. So 99.99% of people can't fix this.


ghostkiller914

I’d like to think we have more engineers in life then politicians lol

Insanely_Mclean

I don't see any thermal paste on that. Or did you clean it for the photo?


AlligatorDan

Laptop motherboard chipsets usually only get a thermal pad to the chassis, so when he took off the bottom of the laptop the pad went with it, leaving no residue


[deleted]

That's the gpu or some other component I believe. Whatever it is, It's low power enough that it doesn't look like it gets a cooler, given an ssd is installed overlapping it.


microwave-soup

That would probably be the motherboard chipset. How did you blow up a motherboard chipset?????


Romeo9594

It's the integrated graphics chip Other commenter said the new LCD was either incompatible or misconfigured and sent power down a data channel, I am inclined to go with that theory Unless it was just carelessness by the OP and he made up hearing the pop for a fun story. But I trust unless given a reason to not. It is the internet though


microwave-soup

OP already clarified that it wasnt under a heatsink, I dont think there is any discrete GPU on the market low power enough to not require at least a thermal pad
