[QUOTE="MacGuyFrom1831, post: 1812535, member: 401707"] Thank you for your reply :) I bought it as a project and thought that if I could fix one of them then there was a chance os fixing more of them as the all have the same problem. I wasn't going to use it myself, but give it away to my nieces, girlfriend, family and such as presents. I thought about perhaps using them for light weight webbrowing or a Retro Machine. However, my question was more in terms of what the chances were of it working if I changed the capacitors myself? Would it be enough? Would a reflow of the GPU help if that is the culpit? Or is the GPU damaged beyond repair at this stage? [/QUOTE]
