Its like someone says "my gpu does not work" and expect answer.

What model? Any previous indications that could lead to this? Does it show any sign of life?

Hold on, I seem to have misplaced it.

Life, no, when you turn it on, nothing happens, no sound, led not on.

We haven't used it in years so I can't tell you what led up.

Only thing you can check without disassembly is to measure resistance between two "spikes" on power plug (dont know how to say that on english). That way we can check if power cable is loosen.

Then you need to open it and first search for any loosen wires.

After that check fuse.

After you make sure there are no, you search for dead component. Sometimes they are really hard to find so only way you could find it is by searching for burned or "exploded" one/s.

If you unplug it and leave for 5 minutes you can lick over the pcb and nothing would happen to you. (if its clean :D )

I dont want to make you do that so you decide :)

ok,

and it hasnt been on for years so i guess its safe.
