[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1488315, member: 56379"] This is a MUCH different situation that what you described in your earlier post: Saying in your 1st post that you have a "dead screen"...and then in your 2nd post that the "ATI chip is fried"...is like saying the windshield on my car is cracked vs. the engine is dead.;) Also...how do you know that the computer has successfully booted without any visual way to confirm this??:Confused: The Windows example you mentioned is not logical either. If the graphics hardware on a computer is fried...then there is no way to get a video signal internally (via the built in display)...or externally (via an external monitor). The bottom line is (if the graphics hardware is fried)...you need a new logic board (very expensive). If you need access to your computers files...the way I would do it is: - remove the computers hard drive - install the HD in an external case - plug this into the USB port of a 2nd computer - now you have access to your files HTH,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
