Even though the monitor is on, if the video card/chip(I hope it is not one of those 'all-in-one' easy sell, pieces of garbage) is fried, you will need to replace the card or the entire computer. As for laptops, in and of themselves, I agree with you 1,000%!!! ------------------------------------ If you have any questions or problems with any aspect of this site, please feel free to contact me directly [email protected] Please do not post personal issues directly to the group.
