HP DV3 Laptop No Video/ Blank Screen, and Motherboard Removal/ Repair

This laptop had a no video issue like all HP, and Compaq laptops exhibit. In this laptop I'm going to show you how to repair this no "video issue", and show you how to remove the motherboard on this HP DV3 series laptop. This repair procedure can be done on all HP, and Compaq laptops that show no video, or have a blank black screen. I reflowed the video chip using a heat gun. I have done this repair sucessfully on other HP and Compaqs laptops in the past. I have never seen an ATI video graphics card fail on a HP or Compaq laptop before. The video cards that show this problem are always the Nvidia video graphics cards. This laptop was repaired sucessfully, and works perfect now!
