#1 Post by Hanson » Mon Jul 21, 2008 7:12 am

Does anyone know where the source of the problem is from? http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/3963/p1020134wo3.jpg

Sorry, seems your GPU has died, have you tried connect an external monitor?

Your GPU is shot.

If you're brave enough, read the sticky on GPU solder re-flowing at the top of T4x forum and proceed from there.

If you're not, contact forum member jamiphar (James) who offers professional GPU repair with warranty, and has done it on several of my machines.

Good luck.
