iBook G4 Repair with a Blowtorch
 |
||
The graphics chip on an old iBook G4 had had the pins underneath it broken due to the bending of the board over time.Using a compression and heat method we were able to reconnect the pins with the use of flux.Although the editing leaves room for a different iBook to be put in its place this is in fact the same iBook all the way through the video.This is the first and only time we have tried this, so we don't knwo for sure whether this is full solution, or a lucky first attempt. And with that said, we won't be taking responsibility if you try it and the results are less than lovely ;)As you can see at the start of the video the screen is a complete mess, and by the end it looks fine again.Music: All Right Now by FreeCamera and Editing by Sam, Idea and Performance by Eddie*This is the same video that was on before, I have since updated the image quality*

You should be able to get replacement CD Drives. As for the keyboard, either look for a solus keyboard, or a broken identical laptop that you can take the keyboard out of and attach to your current model.

Same thing happened to mine, lost a couple keys and the CD drive went kaput. Any advice on fixing it?

I found out it's simply called "flussante". Latin language makes things easy.

Now I see, sorry to disturb you again, I am finding difficult to know the kind of flux inside the syringe, I mean, I don't know what product to ask to the Electric shop, although i don't expect it to find it around, that's all. thanks again.

Well it would have lasted longer, but like I said, it had a meeting with the floor. Good luck with yours.

Thanks a lot,sad to know neither this method lasted long.We'll see next few days what I can do when the ibook will be here,

In the syringe is (I believe) Flux, which when heated, melted around the chip and the connection on the board, allowing it to reconnect and work again.It worked fine for more than a month if I recall, but then some crossed wires led to it plummeting towards the floor and the screen is now broken. However, it still works fine to this day when used with an external monitor.

Ah, I just read it's flux. Can't translate into italian, it just says flusso but I don't know what kind of flux is it.

Don't waste time with them, by the way I would like to ask you what is the thing in the syringe and for how long did your ibook lived using this method?
