[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1796698, member: 396914"] The only one that goes goofy is the external one. Actually, it is a capacitor that is in the circuit with the GPU that fails. There are vids available showing people replacing the defective (and deficient) cap with a better one and getting full video back. But the work has to be done by someone with tools to do soldering work on very small surface mounted devices. If there is a surface mount repair place in the area, it could be a (relatively) cheap fix if the shop is willing to take the work. Youtube has lots of demo vids. [/QUOTE]
