A common issue I have been seeing lately with the HP 6910p laptops is a no power/charge issue. It’s a common problem in many laptop models not just HP. This is normally caused by a bad mosfet in the power/charge circuit. Other symptoms of a bad mosfet in the power circuit is no power/no indicator leds lighting at all. Not to be confused with a power on and then of soon after, this can be caused by many things such as a shorted capacitor in the power circuit or a chipset issue in the BGA grid. If yoru laptop powers on properly but does not charge the battery even though the charge light and indicator is saying it is. You have a problem with the multichemistry battery charger and automatic system power selector. Most people refer to this as a “Maxim” chip, but there can be many different manufacturers of this chip, in the HP 6910p’s case it is a Texas Instraments BQ24703 multichemistry battery charger and automatic system power selector.
Below I’ll show you how to diagnose and repair the HP 6910p power/charge issue, with a SMD hot air station and or a precision iron.

I got bored last night before I decided to go rot my brain with some Xbox 360, in my proses of slumming around the Internets darkest places looking for the lulz and laughing with out any regret or control over the plethora of awesome Amy Winehouse comics making fun of that drugged out excuse for a singer after her death. I stumbled upon Cleverbot. What a blast from the past, this thing seems like has been around since the dawn of the internet, and I have not used it since my days of slacking off in High School (not that my days of slacking off have changed, just where I do it has). So I said fuck it… lets harass an AI for a bit and see if something funny happens.

As some of you guys may know, I fix computers for a living. This is why I’m such an obnoxious, clinical, douche-bag with sense of smugness about how computer retarded the rest of man kind is that only years of experience fixing every ones problems but my own can yield. I’ve often wondered where some of the shit people get infected with comes from. I mean i have never fallen victim to the spy-ware or viruses so many others have, I have not been infected with the computer A. I. D. S. if you will call it.
