Re: [SLE] Need help diagnosing hardware problem
I have followed this thread with some amusement, especially after having provided desktop support for many years. The best advice that I can offer is: If you don't know what you are doing, don't learn on a production machine. In other words, if you want that computer to work right again, don't mess with it's guts. Let someone who knows hardware look at it. All of the "help" on this, or any other, forum will only let you dig yourself in deeper and, as you may know, the first thing to do once you have figured out that you've dug yourself into a hole is to stop digging. Telephone support is somewhat better but still requires that you know some of the words before you can become a semi-intelligent remote, working at the direction of tech support. Just my 2 cents.

Fred Sure have to agree with you. I spent over 20 years in Field Service and the rest in Tech support. Let the experts play with these problems. Its possible using the rag etx to clean generated enough static to fry a chip on the video card.
