I've just received this piece of junk, erm, awesome netbook. Original problem was broken SSD ribbon. The owner accidentally added a new one - he wasn't looking so he managed to plug the USB stick into the network port and short it. Since then it would not display anything anymore.
The NIC chip was getting fairly hot so i removed it from the board, but it didn't change anything. CPU gets power, fan spins, LEDs light up, but no display. No beep codes either, and no output on external monitor. Internal LCD is good as it blinks when it is disconnected from power. It can be turned off from the power button.
I'm thinking chipset failure but i'd like a second opinion. I don't have BGA tools so new motherboard it'll be in that case.
