    Hello.
    Haven't been here for a long time.
    On 7th of March i bricked my 7805u.
    I set too hight voltage on GPU. 1.15.
    I started playing the game and suddenly the screen went blank.
    I didn't start the machine again because I thought that I had no more time for this and went to bed.
    Next day I tried to turn on the laptop . It started, however only for a few seconds with a blank screen. No display. Black screen only. I can hear the sound of fans working but everything stops after 5 seconds. ANd laptop turns on again.
    There are no chances for flashing dead unit right?

    Once the GPU is gone that may be the end. You MAY be able to do the oven trick and reflow it but that is just a chance not a guaranty.
