Hi Guys,
I have a Clevo P370EM. When I start it I can see the backlight come on the screen but nothing displays. The screen close magnet is fine as the backlight turns off when I close the lid. Laptop starts fine. Laptop won't output to an external monitor. I pulled apart the laptop today, swapped the graphics cards around, cleaned everything up, swapped RAM around, pretty much everything I could think of and still no luck. The only thing I didn't disconnect was the monitor itself. I couldn't work out how to access the connection on the motherboard.
I haven't checked CMOS battery. I have run both GPU's as master and no luck.. I've got no doubt it's hardware, just trying to work out which bit. I have a feeling it will be a GPU as I was running a game the other day and only one GPU was shown to be heating up. The funny thing is; when the computer is at the Windows logon screen (Pretty sure it is there – can't see for sure) the screen still dims with inaction and the backlight comes on when the mouse moves. I really can't pick what it is. I reckon both GPU's have packed it in
