My sisters have been complaining there computer has had "No signal".
Today i had a chance to look at it. I did the basic's and checked the wires and seemed ok. I took the case apart and vaccumed out 2 tonnes of dust. The dam thing still wouldn't work.
I suspected it was the graphics card, failing that it would be the processor (As i couldn't hear a beep when it turned on, not sure if it did this anyway)
I took the card out to find several resistors on the back had fried causing the back of the card to be black.
They have a ATI Readon X800 Pro 256Mb. I got this only days after these were launched years and years ago, its funny to think something like this used to be top of the game.
They need a new one, i've looked on eBay and there's one that ends in 9 days :S (My sister is back to school in 7 days and has a exam to write up)
Can anyone suggest me another PCIe card that has the same quality OR better quality?
Thanks
Dan
