Hey all,
Quick question if I may... if you only see the first two lights lighting up on the logic board, is that indicative of a logic board failure, or GPU failure?
Some background, this computer is a 2011 i7 with a K4100M gpu that was installed about two years ago (had this done by someone else). Recently, I noticed some odd banding in my photos and realized it was a computer issue as those same files looked great on other computers. Then, after turning the computer off, the screen wouldn't always turn on unless it had been off for a day or so. Now, when turning the computer on, it will chime, but the screen stays black. I took the screen off and now see that only the first two led lights are turning on.
Obviously, it is probably time to get a new computer, but hoping I can get a few months out of it if possible.
Thanks
