Which JB4 is this?

DukerHD · 09-20-2017, 11:30 PM

I'm trying to figure out which version of JB4 this is. It's for an N54 but I can't tell the difference between generations...

Open it up and google JB4 g4 vs g5.

It will need to be opened up at a minimum. The chipset sometimes has markings but it could vary over many revisions. Truth be told, many likely won't know exactly on here (unless an obvious stamping existed on it), only BMS would know for sure. It could be an early G5 which still isn't bad for the right price. Side note, you know you've been in the platform too long when an early G5 becomes something old. Just need to see a JB3 and that will be the icing on the cake.

What's a good price for an early G5?

Honestly, I have no idea. $100-200 max? Again, not a bad tune. It does what it needs to do. Don't take my last response the wrong way, I was just showcasing how long I've been here where that felt like a long time ago.

Sorry for asking so many questions, but do you know when the JB4 switched from G5 to G5 ISO?

Jeff@TopGearSolutions · 09-22-2017, 04:11 PM

G4 went to G5 in late 2012

G5 to G5 ISO mid 2013
