Does the laptop function without your graphics card? I.e. Integrated graphics from your CPU.

I also wonder did I get a fault card a not as seller claim is working..

The setup is quite straight forward.. So don't think I plug wrongly.

You can try contacting Aftershock PC to see if they can help you out. They are 2 different Laptop Builders building on the Clevo platform. So they might have had a similar model due to this commonality




ya. it an old model.. i tot of trying if i can startup it since i got another graphic card on hand.

Any bios screen? Do you happen to have an external 2.5 inch Hdd enclosure ?
Remove your hdd
Plug it in, then verify the on a secondary Pc if the hdd works

Possible though hard to tell.
For all we know it could be the power brick that has a loose connection at one of its ends. :zotto:

Could be various factors such as ram etc. What you can try is to take out each ram stick and test one ram at a time. Have a feeling it's the ram

To test hdd , get an external hdd enclosure
At the very least, if that works you probably have a hdd

very sad le.. i spent 3k on this laptop (although it long ago but i still hope i can make it alive and use few year and it die :( )

Try ram first. Personally experience no display issues due to ram countless times. If there are two sticks, remove both and insert one.

Any hdd activity indicator or power indicator on the laptop? That should work as well.

One more thing what was the issue prior to you not using it anymore?
