    I would have to say no. Then you are possibly out that money and if you can return it what percent or flat rate do they charge for restocking?

      I found it on amazon, so I think i can return it without a restocking fee if it doesn’t work. That is if mine is a 40 pin.

          Not a good one. Replacing the lcd screen did nothing. Nor did the new touch cable. :notworthy:

              The graphics card is built in so i can’t switch it out. Its definitely, not the ram, as it would just shut off if the ram was defective.

                What is the system doing?
                Fans comin on?
                Air Being moved?
                Do you feel heat coming from the fan like you did before?
                You can also retry the RAM one at a time again making sure to use only slot 1.

                  Fans still blowing hot air and spinning. I retried the ram thing as well. Even that battery trick.
                  Tomorrow I will be handing it off to a relative where they will try and take a crack at it. If that fails I will pay someone to fix it if its a price I can afford.
                  I will update if it gets fixed or not and what the problem was if we figure it out.

                                Well a new back cover was ordered( so the hinges can actually be screwed in at all places) and the hinges where straighted out and loosened because they where extremely tight. The cover should hopefully arrive this week or the next and then the laptop can actually be put back together properly. I said before if I asked my relative for help it would take forever, and I was totally right. :LOL:
