Go to solution Solved by Tmh85,

well i go to school in another city and i came home this weekend and my mom told me she encountered this problem, so i did a restart and the screen worked again but then it went black randomly about 30min later.

Shut down the notebook.  Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu.  Select the Bios option ( usually f10 ) and under the Advanced or Diagnostic tab you should find the facility to run a test on the Hard Drive.  Post back with the details of any error messages.

Not much you can do since its a Laptop. Check all the temps to make sure its not an overheating issue. Use software like Fanspeed or realtemp. And as @Tmh85 stated, check the HDD as well.

ok i had the computer running now for 6minutes and i noticed the area around the VGA output was EXTREMELY HOT, so i think there is a defect fan that may have "melted" the video output.

Have you tried using maybe a cooling mat under the laptop?

Hi guy's,
FYI: I got this problem and it is a graphics Nvidia Chip problem... but there is a way to fix it without reflow or a Reball... Just follow the instructions in this video, it work 100%, and what it does is it deactivates the Nvidia Chip so that it only works with the onboard Intel graphics chip. It's a pretty simple solutions so you don't have to fork up a few hundred buck on a new laptop ;)

 

Cheers
