HP Presario V6000 laptop (V6133EU)

Hi,

I was given this laptop to have a look at, the laptop its-self turns on however no display is ever shown, even through an external monitor. I read up on it and i was told in this model the nvidia graphics card comes away from the motherboard and that is why im having these problems.

What i wanted to know is there are many ideas on the internet on what to do some which i believe are crazily stupid, does anyone have an idea of what i can do here?

Cheers In Advance

 

Yes this model along with others had an ovreheating problem .........

A friend of mine had one and the Suggested solution from Dell was to run the fan at full speed indefintely , this fixed the problem temporarely but in the end the Laptop failed totally.

 

so does this render the laptop useless? i cannot get on the display to change the fan settings so im abit stuck on what action to take?

Cheers
