Hello all, I recently was given an nc6000 due to the fact that the machine was hard to turn on and also it was hard to keep running. I have looked over everything and have come down to this.


1 - The max chip on the motherboard is in a bad spot but if your willing to try a re-sodder your just about as crazy as most people.

2 - Using a heat gun is also crazy i mean yeah sure it sound cool but how many people out there are willing to spend 129$ on a heat gun when you can just buy a new motherboard that fixes this issue (2.0+ fixes this issue)

3 - How did i fix this issue? Simple...I used a piece of hard rubber and electrical tape. I made sure to put the rubber right onto the chip (this rubber can't be to big but has to be big enough to put pressure on the chip when you screw everything in) then placed the electrical tape to one side of the motherboard and the other on the other side ( thus keeping the rubber in place while i screw back in the mobo). Once i have done this i have no issue with the laptop not charging and it boots up no matter what the weather is or how hot i keep my room.

So if your cheap or don't know how to sodder this is a workable work around on the max chip fix.
