The Inverter was correctly installed.

I have salvaged the laptop now. I know what the problem was, and I couldn't fix it myself, nor am I paying ridiculous prices to get it fixed.

The problem, as you said Strzekecki, was the thermal and/or solder material used by Nvidia or HP. It wasn't absorbing the heat as it should have, and causing the chip to overheat. I didn't know how to remove the chip (it was soldered into the motherboard...I thought it might have been some sort of expansion card)

According to HP, this laptop doesn't fall into the category of the defected Nvidia chips, when blatantly that's the problem. So I gave up, took the processor, RAM, wireless card, hard drives, DVD drive and screen so that I can sell them. Or at least try.

That shop in Manchester wanted to charge £120, and HP want to charge £260.
