    Ah sorry i missed that. well that is good. these things have an inherent ability to fry the vga card. main problem is the thermal pads dry up and need to be replaced. you have to replace for .5mm pads not arctic silver paste.

    try reseating the data ribbon on both ends. also try reseating the inverter. inverter should not cause the issue here but do it anyways just in case.
