actually, im working on it right now. i already cut both bois chips of and im 3 legs into soldering the new chip on

Oh ok cool, sorry just trying to have a game plan. Would hate to lose my data??

The board on the left is the broken board with a good bios chip and the board on the right has the useless bios chip. That being said, on the bad board could i cut towards the bottom of the 8-pin bios legs to remove the good bios chip. Then on the new board cut the pins closer to the actual chip rather than closer to the board? Or is this still a no go.

Dang, i never tought about that!!!! Thats actually not a bad idea. So i think imma definitely try that if i cant get it

Do you even watch LTT Well theres tunn*cough cough* i mean P.I.A Private internet access

The only heat gun i could get my hands on is on from an auto tech shop, its a big Milwaukee heat gun idk any specifications because ive only seen it once but i talked to that teacher and he said i could use uf i needed it, but i feel like this dude could melt everything. I quoted the dude saying just bring it to a shop. Yea imma do that is i dont make any progress tomorrow for ive competitions coming up and my rig has been down for to danm long, not to mention i wanna play some games??. I sent a link to this thread to my computer technician teacher and the IT lady and both of them loved everyones advice saying it was pretty sound and just because you didnt get quored doesnt mean anything, i only picked these because i felt these help me out more or was more descriptive or there was like another post saying generally the same thing.

ohh k so ive been trying to do a bios swap on a 2060-800039-p1 and im having trouble getting the bios chip off. personally i dont own a solder iron but the school IT department does and theve been very kind enough to let my me use it anytime i need to. point is im very new to soldering and have only really seen videos and how tos of how to desolder these 8-pin chip. so i ask, is there anyone hear that knows how to desolder, equpiment i have it solder iron, desolder copper braid, of course solder and some weird looking grey colored flux. Im no professional by any means but is this right. oh and it smells like cigarette smoke whenever it melts??? IDK, but is the any tips or tricks anyone could lend me. is there anything i need to buy. (keep it simple tho i cant afford those heat gun things). and ill post pictures in a few minutes of the PCB's and the flux jar. or anything else yall want to see ig

ok so i did the second paragraph. anyways i figured it out. there is a diode your next the the sata power connection on the back of the PCB the was blown out by using the wrong power adapter. to fix this i was going to just desolder it and it should just be able to turn on long enough for me to get my data off of it. sadly this did not work for the diode isn't just simply soldered on to the board. instead i just ordered a new PCB from https://www.onepcbsolution.com/ my PCB model number is 2060-800039-P1 and thankfully they had the right replacement for me. only thing i have to do (and i opted into this, they offer to do this for you) swap the bios chip over. im doing this myself because i feel it gives my the perfect reason to research and learn how solder.

What else would it be because whenever you put the original hard drive back in it works perfectly fine the only with my hard drives does it not work I'm trying to get out of this would it be something I can fix as far as I know it's the hard drive is this going to be like one of those things we have to bring it to a professional and they fix it

Cpu fan

No its a internal hard drive plugged into an internal to external adapter

So ive had a 1TB WD blue for about 2years and since i have no internet at my house i bring my hard drive along with a 3.5inch to usb adapter/dock sorta thing. anyways it has the universal power connector thats the same as my laptop and jbl speaker charger. so i lost the included power adapter so i packed the JBl one i tested it before i left home to make sure it works and it spun up. so i unplugged it and left getting to school plugged it in anddddd nothing not even a white light on the adapter. so im thinking the charger broke the adapter kinda sucks but ok. so i unplug the internal hardrive in the computer im working on and plug in mine and nothing the fan doesn't spin nothing. plugging the original hard drive in and unplugging and plugging the power cable in and out again and it works doing the cycle again same result. so looking around and thinking is it somthing to do with the power cable i used and i messed up the circuits on the hard drive. or is the any other ideas yall have.

so your saying i should just do the standard rma. i say this because i got the mouse on sale

yea thats whats what i was thinking.

Ok so this is honestly gonna be one of those dumb things but im going thru the RMA process on a corsair mouse and nothing about the support was bad but with the advanced RMA option it stats "We also have an advance replacement option available. If an item is in stock, we can send the replacement first in exchange for the price of the item. We will then refund this amount once we receive the faulty product. If you’d like to set this up, please call customer service and they can manually upgrade this ticket to an express replacement. You will then be able to put in your credit card information on your ticket. 1-888-222-4346 M-F 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM PST (free call outside the USA via skype)." I wanna focus on the word replacement ig, so my friend says i think that means you can get any other corsir product and you just pay the difference. Or is just the same product you have being the replacement?????
