Hi, I am working on a Gateway 3018 laptop that has no video. It powers on. I have tested the CPU in another machine & it works. Removed the hard drive and the add-on RAM, but still no video.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
Bob

Most portable units today have a port for an external monitor. It's worth a try.
Even if the add-on RAM was specifically designed for video it's fairly predictable that you'd end up where you did.
Long term, it's a fairly easy guess that you're either gonna be buying (appropriating) a new screen and/or a new mobo.
