Trunyce Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I've been having a hard time with my D830. It's the Nvdia 140m version 2.20ghz. I've created the usb and took the contents from post #9 of Polyzargone's thread and I keep facing an issue with the grapics. I took a video of it and hopefully i could load it. trim.C9B2C789-68EA-46E6-823F-2CE706C2815A.MOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted July 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted July 9, 2016 idk but that red ghosting in verbose mode looks like when a gpu is failing. hope thats not your case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trunyce Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 i think that's the case bro. Can that be repaired? I've got one of the best D830 too, and i'd hate to let it go and get another one with less specs. Mine is the Nvidia 140m, 2.20 ghz and it has the finger print scanner too.

polyzargone Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 USE AT YOUR OWN RISK ! I have the same issue on mine. One solution is to bake the mobo. It's not a permanent fix but it has been working pretty good for me so far. First, make sure you disassembly entirely the D830. Here's a good video : Don't forget any part including CPU, RAM additional cards, plastic caches etc. and clean the graphics chip too ! Then put the mobo into your Owen for about 5/7 min at 200° Celsius maximum (do the conversion if needed). Good luck ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trunyce Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Thanks for the video Poly, I just got me another one and I just might keep this one to experiment with. How long ago did you do it to yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polyzargone Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Last time I had to "cook" it was in december. So far, so good. But again, it's not a permanent fix so I've got my fingers crossed Bon appétit ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted July 10, 2016 Administrators Share Posted July 10, 2016 Mobo baking is indeed not a permanent fix and one will require to re-bake again; can be sooner, can be later. It really does depend on the quality of reballing and long term usage but it does fix the GPU issue. I've had to re-bake my D630 about 3 times in the last 4 or 5 years. 10 good minutes at 200C, then stop the oven, open its door and leave the mobo cool off. Make sure to have native CPU+GPU SpeedStepping in good working order + fan free of any dust clog + non-dry thermal paste onto CPU+GPU. If you heavily use your laptop, pay a little annual visit to the mobo inside the casing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trunyce Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 OK guys, I'll make sure to do that when I'm feeling adventurous. In the meantime, I'm waiting for my other D830 to arrive this week. I plan on using it mainly for media purposes like music creation. Trying to get back into music production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted July 12, 2016 Administrators Share Posted July 12, 2016 Well you can always swap over the tidbits you liked from the first d830 to the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
