hp nx9600 turns on, no display screen.

[badcap00]

bought a hp nx9600 awhile a go at a thrift store- no ac adapter, no hard drive, no memory, no wifi card, no battery.

bought ac adapter recently, computer turn on(as in lights light up, fans spin; but the screen is blank - no activity.

checked bios battery, it's good.

tried tricks on youtube, no good. one of the youtube tricks for blank screens is to leave the laptop on once you start it even with the blank screen so the laptop can recharge the bios battery after I disassembled the nx9600 I saw the bios battery is not a rechargeable type. And it's fully charged.

connected to external monitor, no picture, no activity.

this computer has 3 fans, the one in the center(the one that does NOT ~'work'~) does double duty it cools a hive of mosfets[pad strips] and blows air over the CPU.

**** but the fans does work, tested it with 3v, and it spins.**** see pictures

when the computer power button is pressed the other two fans spin at start, stop, then turn back on. The cpu fan does not spin at start, and does not spin at all.

this computer looks new inside and out. no dust.

why do you think this hp has a blank screen? (I know because it's an HP). and how can I fix it if possible?

see pictures.

and thanks.

Probably graphic chip has died. This is too old a pc worth repairing. Try reflowing the graphic card with good quality bga flux.
