    A while back, my A8Js just messed up and yesterday I decided to pull it out to test.

    I pulled the HDD out long ago so I just booted it up as is. The main screen is white with lines. DVI out provided no signal. VGA out did but it's messed up as seen in the attached picture of me booting from a Windows 7 disc.

    I already replaced the TIM on the GPU. I initially thought it was the inverter giving me the funky white screen but seeing that VGA output has issues, I'm guessing it's the GPU.

    Anyone here have some advise?
