GoGeTa006:
So I came across this laptop which is sitting right besides me. . .I turned it on 2 weeks ago and it didnt go past boot screen, i went into the bios and used the hp "disk check up" and fixed it.

Yesterday it doesnt turn on the monitor anymore. . .it turns on all the little lights inside, the fans and everything but no image whatsoever, i tried hooking it to an external monitor and nothing either! If i leave it on it eventually shuts down and restarts (like after a minute)
I think it may be the video card, but apparently its not the first time this happened, it happened for a couple of months and then I touched it and it booted up with that HD error, but the video stuff was good and working, but now again this thing happened.

Anyone got any idea with this ?

The thing is fucked. My godsis' did the same thing. First it was HDD, swapped it for fun, and then it died in a week. It was something else. I have no confirmation, but I think the mobo went haywire and started frying random components. (Heat issue due to bad air circulation of the way that the laptop is built)

Yeah, shred the thing, you never know what kind of goodies you can salvage. My dad's gone through so many laptops and desktops I have a small cupboard full of components. Made a couple of small robots with them.

HP laptops tend to fail a lot.
