Hi Everyone.

I hope you can help me with this, other forums have failed!

My daughter dropped my laptop. Afterwards pressing the power key only caused the the shift capslock & another LCS to flash.

I took it apart and reset the chip, nothing. By fluke i disconnected the screen connector from the motherboard, and the computer fired up, so I'm running it from a crt at the moment

Any Ideas ?

thanks for reading

Try getting a new monitor cable. There cheap so you won't be too out of pocket if its not that. Sounds like some sort of power issue.
You could always ring your insurance company and get a nice shiny new one:cheesy:
