Looking for any ideas if this laptop can be saved.
Gave my son my old Asus gaming laptop GL502V and all was good until he knocked something over which hit the screen. (geniune accident)
The screen didnt looked cracked, but completely dead, so i took out the screen and order a new lcd off ebay (on the way i dont have it yet).
In the short term, I thought I would hook the laptop up to a monitor so he can still play, laptop shows the bios splash screen and then goes dark with no signal.
I thought maybe the drive has gone bad, so i take it out and try it in my pc and its fine.
Incase windows has glitched, i tried a fresh build, windows installs fine and gets to the "we are setting things up for you", montior or tv goes to no signal and i cant get any further.
I had windows 10 on an old drive, so i try that, windows fully boots, after a few mins you hear the windows chim like a device has been removed and it goes dark.
You can still hear the sound when you add / remove a usb drive.
At this point i am wondering if the GPU has maybe gone, i did notice only one fan spinning when i took the cover off,,,, but not sure if its just due to the laptop not being hot enough.
My son showed me an image that he googled of what he saw before the screen died, it was more a black n white glitched screen than the lcd crack effect. Not quite what you would associated with a typical gpu failure either.
Any ideas?
