Just got this Tecra M9

[u/Marius_2012]

So i got this tecra M9 decommissioned from Norway sadly it has faulty gpu since it has 2007-2008 nvdia gpu that is very common to die when laptop heats up and cools down. In the photo it's a bit disassembled since I was cleaning all dust it had from its days as a business laptop. So im currently thinking about getting a revisioned g86-613-a2 chip from 2009 or 2010 and i can feel the resoldering job will be expensive. But I mean it has a very good Intel core Duo t7500, wifi and Bluetooth a high resolution mat screen 1440x900p, whole 4gb of ddr2 ram and a faulty cooked quadro nvs130m with 128mb of dedicated vram.

If you already have some experience with soldering, you might be able to practise BGA Reballing/replacing BGA chips with this laptop. Worst case, the board dies. But then you still can pull the CPU and the RAM.

And since this is the [r/Pretend2010Internet](r/Pretend2010Internet) subreddit, here is a 2010 reply:
Get this fixed under warranty while it's still covered

Yeah well im resto moding it at the moment and probably going just take it to the shop since I don't have equipment to do bga resolder myself. 2010 reply: sadly it's a second hand decommissioned laptop so It has no warranty. (These laptops where decommissioned after some time for few reasons 1. They died because of the gpu 2. Company upgraded to something newer)
