Asus G73JH MXM or motherboard?

[Uranium-235]

I have a customers laptop with the screen out, but also I can't get it to output to HDMI, VGA, even with the FN buttons, this is after windows boots (I hear it booting, can hit the power button and get it to shut down)

It has an MXM 5870, the LVDS is on the motherboard. Higher chance its GPU? It does boot windows, with no screen, but it does boot

how dare you ignore an admins post, i'll ban all of you!

just kidding, I already ordered the MXM card. Figured I would go with cheapest first

here is something I didn't know, some 40-pin LVDS cables from other laptops can actually destroy your screen. Second I hooked it up I saw a little light under the plastic, didn't see the component it was on, but the panel is dead (I was making sure the problem wasn't the cable-this was before I tested the HDMI/VGA). Funny thing is it burned that when the laptop was totally off (but plugged in)[the peter griffin in me laughed at but plugged]. You live you learn.

Rare are the compatible LVDS . Better always acquire the original one .
