ASUS F3T - is it worth repairing?

Question

Do it yourself

Hello.

There is a laptop ASUS F3T, faulty.
The malfunction manifests itself in the fact that when turned on, the screen remains black. The sound of a successful boot of Windows is also not heard, so it may not be loading.
Questions:
1. Do I understand correctly that the problem is either in the matrix or in the video chip?
2. Does it make sense to look for repairs for it, or will it be more expensive than its market value?
3. If not repair, what can be done with it?

Answer 1

No train.
Most likely a vidyahi chip or a northbridge.
We look at typical faults in the F3 series - notebook1.ru/forma1/viewtopic.php?f=338&t=22142
If there is a proven good repair office (or master) that gives a guarantee, then you can repair it.
The prices should come out 4-5 tr.
Although such new chips are probably not to be bought (or difficult), therefore, the cost of repairs may either increase or the lifetime of the laptop may decrease. put a used chip.

Answer 2

This is a jamb of the NVIDIA 7600 video card. I myself have such a laptop at work. Judging by the forums, only a very expensive video card repair.

Answer 3

F3T was my first laptop. How much joy it was when I bought it. And then according to the scheme "not a year without a breakdown." Despite this, I was ready to part with any amount, if only it was repaired. As a result, his service life was 4 years, and his death overtook him suddenly when I ran over him with a car (accidentally). For the most part, the breakdowns were caused only by me (either the hard drive flew, then the video card was covered). The last failure was just the above problem with the 7600.

Answer 4

1.) If this is a matrix, then you can usually connect a regular monitor. If a regular monitor also does not show anything, then either a vidyakh, or something more serious.
2.) I would not repair it, but then how lucky ... If you have a desire and very cheap spare parts, then you can tinker.
3.) I have always installed Linux on laptops with dead video cards and used them as "servers" for all sorts of things.

Answer 5

1) Either in the cable for connecting the screen to the mother, it can simply fall out.
2) Is there an output to an external monitor? Like yes. Connect and check.
3) hd-player, nas, server, router - lots of options.
