Product: Envy dvr6-7363CL
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8 (64-bit)

                         helloo eveyone,

  i bought and envy dvr6 from a pawn shop recently for 40 bucks, pawn shop knew something was wrong with it (hence the cheap price tag)  but said they didnt know what exactly...yeah right, anyway i bought the thing thinking i should be able to fix it pretty easily and have something decent with an I7. Discussing the deal with the pawn shop i was told "for some reason it just wont power up", being completely nieeve and a little too confident thought it would be a easy fix, well not really, come to find out the motherboard is shot and even more surprised; its common practice for alot of HP laptop motherboards to take a crap well before they should no matter what model it is. So I'm thinking I got burned a bit (own fault of course), started researching a little, talking to some locals and heard its the graghics integrated chip that broke a solder somewhere and shorted out and was told theres a pro way to fix it and the heat gun way...take a heat gun to it and try to melt the siolder back to make a circuit again, wherever it may be around the video chip...might work...might not. I do plan on buying another mobo but for a temporary quick fix is there any truth to this and how would I go about doing it?. Thank you very much to any and all respondnents, ceewolf
