Newfag here
I repair computers as a hobby and today I was given a laptop that won't turn on.
Upon open it I asume the gpu beside the cpu is fried. But just to check, what do you guys think?
A close up of said chip
I generally regard stains of any kind on a motherboard as a sign it probably won't turn on again.
But yeah, looks like the GPU is kaput.
Clean the board. apply new thermal paste. if post = good. If no post = dead.
