    Just got this from a garage sale for $20 with it's HD screen and everything intact (What a steal! :D). Unfortunately, when I power it on, nothing is visible on the screen, nor does the screen illuminate (Nothing on external monitor either :mad:) I suspect a dead GPU, but then again I don't. I've tried different RAM and CPU's, but nothing. The numlock comes on when you power it on for about 5 seconds also. Fans build up in RPM's and end up spinning at full power.

    What could be wrong with it? I really do want to get this going!
