Suddenly no picture on screen of Pavilion G7

[pecrie]

So , this is another laptop - not the one that I had problems with , with the bios.

Yesterday and days before it was all doing fine.Yesterday I installed Windows and some updates.
I also put the battery in and I could see that it was charging - power light was orange/red

After about 1 hour battery was full.I then switched off the laptop.

Today I wanted to install the drivers but nothing on the screen.It turns on , the fan is spinning , power light is white.
But keyboard and num led will not come on.

And the AMD Southbridge is getting really really hot (burns my skin)

So is this a common issue with these AMD chips ??I guess that I will have to replace it ......

Any ideas ......

Now I have ordered the AMD Southbridge.Not really sure if it will fix it.
But after some more tries , this chip is not getting hot anymore.
So we will see what happens next ...

pull out the bios battery and let the laptop discharge.
maybe it will start

Re: Suddenly no picture on screen of Pavilion G7

Thanks for your suggestion , but I already tried that.I got the laptop and the owner said , that the screen was not coming on.

When I tried it at home , after cleaning the fan and put new heat paste and pads on the cpu /chips it did work without any problems.

So , I installed Win7 which went oke.Including the 1st SPack and then later the April and the Convenient RollUp - to get all the win7 updates until the end of 2016.

I was going to install the drivers the next day and no screen - like I said the AMD Southbridge got very hot.
So probably it decided that it was time to go .... ((((
