- This is my Dell XPS M1530 which had a bad graphic card, there was no video when i turned it on and you can see now its working, use any kind of torch which gives you a blue flame like the one i used.
My M1530 failed the first time today... I was shocked that my lovely and faithful laptop dies after about 10 YEARS!!! I knew this is something in relation to the GPU. Just took my hair dryer and heated the GPU for 5 minutes. This 1st resuscitation was succesful. I hope it will serve for another 10 years! (4GB RAM, SSD)
I used a heat gun and it worked great. It's been over 2 weeks now and everything is still perfect. thanks!!
Thanks man this worked out just great!!
I called Dell customer service, they wanted to change the motherboard and give me a new grafic card.
You just saved me a couple thousand buck....
I love it! Be careful with the plastic around the fan plug-in; it melts easily. And, also screw-in for video card tends to desolder, but can be expoxied back. My inexperience caused the mistakes. But, most importantly; it worked!!!
My sister's Dell XPS M1530 was broken just this way. Searching for help on the internet, I found this video and tried the method myself. I used a cheap (~ 5 USD) pen torch. First attempt was unsuccessful, but I tried it again and voilá - screen comes on and laptop boots as before! I would also recommend adding some fresh thermal grease to all the chips under the large heat sink. Thanks for posting!
Thank you so much for the step by step video that made it so easy to fix my 1530. It's 4.5 years old now and still going!!!
Hi, how long did the laptop worked after this fix? thanks
Much thanks, Kheder! I have two of these m1530s and one just got saved from an early scrapping thanks to your brillliant video!!!
Initially thought I had a bad inverter or screen, but after I swapped my good oen in, still no go, so I tried your pencil torch technique on the Nvidia GPU and it has bounced back to life... It's in a "burn-in" test right now... will update on future status to see if it holds up.... thx again for the informative info brother!
Wanted to thank you for this video, I was in the process of discarding my Dell xps, 1530, and decided to do a quick check on RUclips; came across your video displaying the same issue I was having. I duplicated the same process, and Voila! my Dell was alive.
Thanks!
Hi, how long did it worked after the fix? thanks
this morning woke up with this problem, solved with this instructions plus thermal paste... just took 10 minutes yay!, thanks!
(continued)
I had to pry the fan/heat sink off and scrape off the old thermal paste. I also cleaned out the motherboard by blowing air on it. After doing the heating I very carefully applied a thin layer of thermal paste to two of the chips using my finger wrapped in cellaphane. The third chip had some other kind of coating (spongish) which I left alone. Make sure you plug the fan back in before closing up.
Thanks again Kheder.
I just used your video the second time as an instruction to fix this problem. I'm so glad it worked twice. Thank you for this video dude. :-)
This really does work.... It works because the heating remelts the solder on the joints surrounding the video processor 'chip' and its directly associated components. Remelting the solder gets rid of dry joints which are very resistive and makes them conductive again. There is no need to apply heat directly to the 'chip' as this will damage it! Great video and once again.... it does work!!
I can't stress enough how impressed and grateful I am with this video. I got the exact same tourch you show in the video and followed the instructions and you just saved my wallet from buying a new laptop. THANKS A LOT!!!
Thank u I had a problem and was going to change LCD but done the same as you showed did not had a torch use a candle instead it's working now thanks again
I'm gonna try this, I have a dell xps m1330....funny thing is I've had that torch long ago and gave it away but now have a bernzomatic which acts as a torch also . I'm just a bit nervous to try this as I don't wanna burn it up too bad..lol But your video is incredible. I think I may film my attempt to do this as ive never even taken a computer apart before.....I'll keep u posted on how this comes out!
i used this method on (blue screen crash) i took a heater for electronic equipment,
my Nvidia crashed and then i resumed my lap on last know working .. but it was on law reslution and i coudn't watch any video perfectly .. then i uninstalled all the nvidia and used driver sweeper to remove any remaining registry and then tried this method, at the first start my lap worked 100% fine and then i reinstalled nvidia driver (last on oct 2012) .. vola everything back to normal, thank alot Kheder
Thank you so much! I just followed your instructions with my XPS M1330 (using a cooker lighter) and it worked. I really appreciate it.
@Charmie Carter
Yes, try it but be careful don't point the flame of the torch to any other place just the GPU and make sure you move it round like i did for about 5 seconds every time about 3 times.
i tried with a blow dryer first but it required me to do it every day, then saw your video and tried it with a pencil torch and it has been functioning like normal (has been a week since i did this), thank you so much :-)
Hi Kheder, I was amazed at your way of dealing with the failed graphic card., My M1530 graphic chip has just failed to respond with an on-screen display. I have purchased a torch pen and some thermal paste to coat the graphic's chip, and when the butane fuel get's delivered I hope to be able to join you in the successful repairs corner. I will tell you how I got on Kheder. In the meantime thank you
Thank you so much Kheder,i tried it on my xps m1330, and it work perfectly to my surprise.The lappy was under my bed for years and now it's back. Thanks for the video.
Hi, is it still working? Or how long it worked? Thanks
Wow...I am not computer saavy by any means, but i followed this video and used a cream brulee tourch, and viola... my computer works like a charm. Thanks......
My friend.....I just fixed my M1530 with a grill lighter.
YOU ARE AWESOME!
I thought I charred my video processor, It literally turned black, I thought I was screwed.
BUT IT WORKED!
Thank you :)
@sflor0307
Yes I agree with you thermal paste is very good for the connection between the chip and cooler, actually I would have used it if I had it that time, but I was in hurry and didn't have thermal paste so I didn't.
I haven't tried the heat gun, but yes I think it's a good way to fix this issue of graphic card too. Thanks for your comment.
I just did this with a zippo it works great. Thanks
Am glad it worked for you, it can happen again but just do that fix the same way again if happened, but be careful to not melt any plastic part of your computer.
@ Kiriti
You can find a pen torch in any store, its not expensive and come on a laptop worth to buy a torch :)
@ Twinklethomas1
I think the over heating causes this graphic card problem. The problem is you can't change the graphic card because it's built in the motherboard, in my case I wont buy a new motherboard for my 2 years old dell.
I tried this on my son's computer and it now works. For how long who knows but thank you Kheder for saving me the cost of a new (gaming) laptop!
The only problem I had was buying a pencil torch that worked. The cheap one I got for Harbor Freight was no good (read the reviews on the site). I got a slightly more expensive one from Home Depot. You also need to by the Butane to fill the pencil torch. I also bough some thermal past (cheapest one) from Frye's.
(to be continued)
Hi, how long did it worked after the fix?
@wiwbiz2
Well cooling system doesn't solve the problem actually, because the over heating disconnects the GPU from the motherboard, and heating it again by the torch connects it again to the motherboard.
Well i know its temporary but since i made this video i have done this just another time and my computer works perfectly, so it saved me money.
@James
Am glad it worked for you James
hey Just to let you know .... it worked for me my computer was down for 2 yrs and i just tried your solution and it worked thanks
I used heat gun insted it worked absolutely fine. Thank you :)
worked like a champ! thanks for this video.
Worked for me too!! Time will tell how long it will last until another problem comes up, but what the heck, it's an old pc.
Yes thermal paste is needed, i didn't have thermal paste that time or i would put.
Thanks. This video is very good. My XPS now again in function status.
@Twinklethomas1
Well the secret behind this is the heating that makes the graphic chip disconnected from the motherboard and heating the chip again this way or any other way (heat gun or hair dryer) reconnects the graphic card with the motherboard.
I took gave my computer to service shop when i first had this problem and they said it needs a new motherboard. What the hell!! it would cost me about 200 $ or more. So i fixed it myself in this way :-)
@sumoqy thanks for the reply. pity i was hoping to upgrade, oh well better start saving.
@vjwiooz
Actually i didn't have any thermal paste to use in that time but yes its good to use it.. any ways my computer is still working without any problem.
After heating you must put a thick heat pad in so it forces the warm graphics chip to keep down.
You welcome.. am glad it worked for you
@ Xavier
I don't think you can upgrade the graphic card unless you buy a new motherboard because the graphic card is built in.
dont forget to using no alcohol liquid flux this will resolder the solder point back for a clean connection to the ball joints
@Robin T
I really don't know about Acer Aspire, i have just tried it on my Dell. You can search online and see if anyone have tried this way on Acer.
You got to get it around 1500F to 2000F degrees. If you dont have something to get it that hot then it wont melt back together. The one he using is rated at 2000F top.
not sure i would use a blow torch. I'm fine with heating an old laptop to hopefully prolong life, but would probably use a heat gun. blow torch sprays chemicals onto system and may do harm in my mind to keeping the processor cool. note that if u do a reflow, i would recommend cleaning the contact point of processors and heatsink to remove old thermal paste (one forum said use isotopic alcohol and qtip). then add new thermal paste to processors (search how to do this). doing this will ensure the processors stay cool
life saver you! nice one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@sumoqy i use the hair dryer to do it few time , each a minute and it work!!
@Always
I have done this just twice since this video and my Dell works perfect so it saved me money.
Thanks for this great solution!!!
i just get a white screen that slowly goes black, then its completely black, i had a display driver error multiple times but it recovered, now this is what it does
Ever get it fixed?
@Shileshk
I am glad it worked for you
thank you very much
nice work
Well for the torch i didn't let it heat a lot, just make it heat as when the computer runs and has load so it heats the chip.
@zZZzzzSnooze3rd
Its good this worked for you :)
The thermal paste gets hard after you work with your computer and it needs to be changed whenever you remove the cooling system over the processor and graphic chip.
Man I have this exact laptop. But just want to know how long did it survive after getting its GPU torched. Is the laptop still woring?
there is an easier way - just release the heat-sink from nVidia chip, press power button, wait about 1min, press and hold power button again until it power off. Repeat this until it starts and don't put on the heat-sink until it loads fully - if you will put back the heat-sink too early - it will give you system error. WARNING do not release the heat-pipe on the CPU and Bridge!
it works bro ,amazing magical video
@0lado
My computer is still working perfectly, its been more than a year now.
FANTASTIC!!! It worked for me too!!!! Thank you... thank you... thank you very much!! :D
Thank you very much!! This worked for me!!
Saved me time and money
Thanks again!!
dude thanks a ton to you ...i got my laptop back on track!!!! thanks a lot :)
check your video cable - if its fine - probably will be display - white means that crystals don't work at all. Why they don't work I'm not sure, because it can be GPU, cable or LCD chip, which control the matrix.
well - you heat it up more than up to working temperature, so you have longer effect, I dont have how to heat it up, so I use just internal temperature, generated by the chip itself without cooling, so my case it works up to 10 days, but its good in my case, when you have nothing but you need to boot up here and now without caring how long it will work :)
i like your method, but you could of used a heat gun and replaced the thermal paste
i do that all the time and a heat gun will do less damage to the surface
and replacing the thermal paste will help the chip stay much cooler
Yes the torch will heat it enough to make it work if the problem is in the GPU
@Waverunner47203
It is great it worked for you, i am very happy this video have helped a lot of people.
sometimes for me it start to work after 10th or 20th attempt. Its very temporary but you can put it back to life this way unlimited times. Another way is to put it to oven for about 5min at 200C but I didn't tried this method yet.
hi i was wondering how long this fix lasted for you . THank you for your quick response
Well you don't another options, to replace the video card it means you have to replace the motherboard and it costs a lot so you can try this way, but be careful don't burn the board.
You r a great man😍
I understand this problem is due to overheating of GPU, why not we use cooling system then ?
Had my m1530 for at least 5 years and the screen went blank today, just loosened the 2 screws over the GPU, switched on for 30s, smelt slight burning, switched off, switched on again and the screen is working again! Quickly switched off and re-tightened screws. Laptop has booted first time afterwards. How long this will last, is anyone's guess, but great tips.
Thank you kheder it worked on mine too.
Well I have a torch. I need to buy some fluid and I will let y'all know.
No. Reball is permanent and hard to find anyone who does such a repair.
Thank you so much
I left mines on for a whole day with the heat exhaust covered with a blanket and it still never came on, that was right after hold a hair dryer on it for 20 minutes. Then I torched it. Now I need to replace mobo. One day!
Hi. My M1530 graphics card failed just recently and I tried a similar fix (as suggested by another) using a hair dryer. Surprisingly it worked. I used it for about two hours and then shut it down. Unfortunately, it didn't work again. I don't know how many times this or any other fix can be used before giving up. Any comments, suggestions? Thanks in advance!
muchas gracias, ¡funcionó!, aunque yo he usado un secador de pelo ;-)
thanks so much, it worked!! Although I used a hair dryer ;-)
You welcome
OMG ... unbelievable .. it works!!!!! thank you man :D
I think along with paraphernali given by dell rhere shud be a pencil torch too. My system is niw in black screen phase, still mulling over whether i shud open it up n bake it. My problem started after using hdmi cable.
bake it its harmless just be careful
I did what you said and mines still didn't come on. I really don't want to put a flame on the video card.but I just might have to.
you should have put thermal paste on it too, that would have solved the problem a lot!
This fix works!! =D
Si el problema es de la gráfica, en españa dell asume la reparación (este problema ya llegó a consumo)
how long do you need to heat it, is there something you should be watching for. I have a heat gun and have tried it twice with no effect.
Yes i think it works if you let the GPU heat enough
It is a temporary solution. Few days later again starting same problem. If do you want a real solution theb you should take off the gpu and clean old fcking cheap solder. You should reball again with quality ball solders, correct heating and correct time holding the heat. This is need reball machine and professional experience.
@laptopmy
Oh that's good if it works using the hair dryer.
i have problem also in Dell Laptop only half of the screen i can use... half of the screen is white, i dont know why...
Yes i think torch is the best
I followed the instructions and it worked for a few days and now the screen stays black no matter how many times I try to heat up the graphic card. Help please :'(
THANK UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
IT WORKS BROOOOO
MILLION THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Hi, how long did the laptop lasted after the fix? Thanks
Hello. I have the problem like this too. But I use the lighter to heat it up. After that the screen still black :((.
I mean is there any permanent fix you have? would highly appreciate your response.
I tried with my heat iron and I can't get it hot enough. I guess I will be ordering those pencil torches.
