Hi everyone,
I thought I'd share my story, in case someone was thinking of doing something similar or just for the info it can provide, if there will be any,
I've had my G751JT for 1,5 years now and since the company handling the warranty service in my country is unreliable, I wasn't send it to them anyway.
I thought it was time for a nice cleaning, so I took the whole thing apart, applied some diamond thermal paste and connected a band of smd leds to the vents, just like in the "xotic pc afterburner fx"
I wore anti-static gloves, disconnected the battery at the first chance I had, proceeded with caution every step of the way.
Somehow, something, went very wrong.
Right now, the laptop turns on, boots into windows, but the screen is empty. During bootup, the screen is blank, but when Windows loads, the backlight is there, but the screen is black, as if I'm looking at a black picture in full screen. Also, I can use the laptop without problems on an external monitor.
Weird thing was, after I put it back together, before I soldered the leds onto the vents, I turned it on and it was still working.
For the love of me, I can't figure out what it is, so I took it to a repair shop in my city, at a first glance they said reballing the gpu. I doubt it, but I don't have a better idea.
Anyone experienced something similar?
PS: tried the remove battery, keep power pressed for x seconds/minutes after the screen issue. Didn't work.
I will try to keep you guys posted as much as I can with the outcome.
I have been dabbling with PCs for the past 15 years, took apart a few laptops aswell for cleaning, but this is the second one that died on the table. With the first, at the repair shop they said it wasn't my fault, just coincidence that the battery got shorted when I turned it on after cleaning.
I'm either too clumsy or have a tremendous amount of bad luck.
Hoping for some ideas of what could this be or calming words!:)
