Bought a used laptop off of CL for 20 BUCKS!! Its a Pavilion G4 with AMD Athlon II CPU. Now heres the thing...when I first got it, my friend had picked it up the night before and left it sitting out in his truck overnight during winter temps....now when he gave it to me the following morning I immediately turned it on and it POST'ed just fine. After it sat and got to room temps it wont POST with Picture now you can hear it spin up and everything and it has no beeps BUT no picture. I tried running VGA externally and still nothing. Now my determination is that I am thinking the GPU might have overheated because the BIOS had the "always FAN" set to ON...so long story short is it worth it to take it apart and redo paste on gpu and possibly try to see if that will fix it??? or is there some other way to fix it possibly?? Let me know Computer Gods...:)
