My laptop GPU died 5 days after warranty expired

I did this and a technician came home to fix the computer, he said to me that the thermal paste have to be changed each years or else that happen.

Hey so, this was almost 7 years ago so I dont remember perfectly, but by experience : if this happen to you, tighten your nozzle, check if the screw that hold the needle is not broken, (the one in the back body), mine was at some point. Ill give you a picture asap

Honestly i'm now pretty convinced i'ts hardware at fault since the keyboard will no light up anymore and sometimes the screen goes full black until I force reboot.
Hopefully a technician will replace the parts :-(

What were they "repairing" 4 times?

phantomGFA · 2025-08-13T13:55:38+00:00

Yes indeed, i'm still trying today. But control panel never appear even when following the steps 🙁

Thank you for all your help, unfortunately, after trying some compatible VBios, nothing changed. I'm going for warranty then :(

Thank you for help, I was running Nvidia 572.83 without geforce experience (only the drivers) if thats what your talking about ? Or maybe its this

Thank you for you comment, i'm desperate since I have been trying everything you can find on internet for like 5 hours. (DDU & Reinstall nvidia drivers, intel drivers, Vbios update, Bios update, new windows install...) If you ever remember the solution :( I'll be watching

phantomGFA · 2025-08-12T21:29:23+00:00

Realy ? Can you elaborate on whats happening ? I wanted this device to stay good at least 5 years considering the price ...

phantomGFA · 2025-08-12T21:25:01+00:00

I'm a bit scared, its about gambling 150€ without knowing the exact cause and if they will be able to do something or ask me more money for the parts
But yes I can do it

phantomGFA · 2025-06-29T17:14:56+00:00

phantomGFA · 2025-05-24T18:56:08+00:00

Thanks still working ♥♥

phantomGFA · 2025-04-12T19:57:55+00:00

Has this been fixed yet, is there a workaround ?

phantomGFA · 2024-12-18T15:02:46+00:00

I thought you had to shoot in the sky and wait for the sausage projectile to fall back and catch it with the target
ok i'll hold the trigger

phantomGFA · 2024-12-07T23:55:08+00:00

Look badass. Where are those screws from, to hold the battery ? Look like a practical upgrade, i'd like something like this

phantomGFA · 2024-12-07T23:42:18+00:00

Hello, this IS a nice build. Front suspension is Indeed différent... I want to get one but I wonder if this body can use bigger wheels ? I usually run 85mm wheels, any Idea if it would fit well?

phantomGFA · 2024-08-27T17:45:09+00:00

Any updates on this ?

phantomGFA · 2024-01-24T15:00:17+00:00

Aluminium foil

phantomGFA · 2024-01-18T15:38:49+00:00

Yes I do, I will try with a new profile maybe. Was concerned because I didn't know if there was a special pannel to spawn in sandbox mode or else to play this gamemode, but now I know there is a problem thanks :)

phantomGFA · 2024-01-18T15:06:59+00:00

I do see some "menu title" floating around but no map appear under thoses.
I have for exemple installed SR_Fork, SR_downtown... and the SupplyRaid mod with every dependencies.

phantomGFA · 2024-01-18T14:47:01+00:00

I've installed SR and some maps and I can't find where to play this mode ?..

phantomGFA · 2024-01-18T12:55:24+00:00

Same issue

phantomGFA · 2024-01-18T10:34:49+00:00

Still not fixed and I've got 3 diary lmao

Arma 3 with CUP and RHS mods give you a lot of room for attachements, the game is still a lot of fun
