Checking it out, I started it up and yes indeed it appeared to be broken, the blue lights on the media bar would light up and the DVD drive would make a little whirl noise and then nothing. The screen would remain off and as far as I could tell the hard drive didn&#8217;t kick in and it was just waiting for a post and nothing happened. A couple of hours of Googling i came across this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bnkQNmKauEc&#038;feature=relmfu\" target=_blank>YouTube<\/a> video by &#8220;mixcatcom&#8221;. It exactly showed the same symptoms I had and a possible solution. Out came the screwdriver and a half hour later, using a creme brule torch I heated up the NVidia chip like the video showed. I put it back together (4 extra screws left over, YAY!)  and to my amazement it worked! The laptop booted up to windows and everything worked perfectly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"thanks_button_div\" \n                  style=\"float: left; margin-right: 10px;\"><div id=\"thanksButtonDiv_210_1\" style=\"background-image:url(http:\/\/tek-files.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/thanks-you-counter-button\/images\/thanks_compact_blue1.png); background-repeat:no-repeat; float: left; display: inline;\"\n                onmouseover=\"javascript:thankYouChangeButtonImage('thanksButtonDiv_210_1', true);\" \n                onmouseout=\"javascript:thankYouChangeButtonImage('thanksButtonDiv_210_1', false);\"\n                onclick=\"javascript:thankYouChangeButtonImage('thanksButtonDiv_210_1', false);\" >\n                <input type=\"button\" onclick=\"thankYouButtonClick(210, 'You left &ldquo;Thanks&rdquo; already for this post')\" value=\"Like 0\"\n                  class=\"thanks_button thanks_compact thanks_blue1\"\n                  style=\"  font-family: Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal;; color:#ffffff;\"\n                  id=\"thanksButton_210_1\" title=\"Click to leave &ldquo;Thanks&rdquo; for this post\"\/>\n             <\/div><div id=\"ajax_loader_210_1\" style=\"display:inline;visibility: hidden;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ajax loader\" src=\"http:\/\/tek-files.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/thanks-you-counter-button\/images\/ajax-loader.gif\" \/><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A friend gave me a laptop because it was broken, older and they no longer wanted it anymore.
