Laptop Died, What could be wrong?

yankie_1132 · 03-25-2008, 10:44 PM

Alright, with a few BSOD and codes of 0x77, my laptop finally died. It's a Thinkpad T30 P4M 1.8 512MB XP. When I turn it on, I can hear it power up, but nothing comes on the screen, and nothing else happens. So I replaced the motherboard with the same one, and still nothing. I recently put a refurbed CPU, same one, and still nothing. I put in a HD before already and nothing too. I haven't tried changing out the ram, but what else could it be? Any help would be great.

My guess is the power button is broken. That happened to my rig a while back.

EDIT: Oh, yeah, welcome to CF!

Thanks Irishwhistle...

Anyway the power button works. The laptop turns on, cpu fan runs, hd runs, but blank screen.

You're welcome!

Ah! Well then, your screen could of gone bad. Or maybe it came disconnected, or isn't connected right.

Try a external monitor or another stick of RAM, or take out one stick and then vice versa if you have 2 sticks.
