    Hi,
    I just replaced my motherboard with a used one since the on board video card was bad. And it worked fine.... for about 3 minutes. Then the screen went blank, even when using my desktop monitor and hasn't come back on since. Could something be shorting out my video card? On my last motherboard the video was just bad, flickering with different colors, etc. The lights on my computer light up when I start the computer but that's it--I hear nothing.
    I have a toshiba satellite 1415 s105 laptop.
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
