I Started havin this Problem over a year ago i have completely dissassembled my machine several time i have little to no knowledge about laptops but my desktop skillz with hardware are excellent and (i think and am possobly/probably wrongwhen i say ) its probaly the Video card or video processor and if tat is integrated like i suspect it is its actually the motherboard, just a hunch but if i had to throw money on it id say MOBO. Its definitely not the processor they smoke when they go bad or get way to hot way to fast and smell like burning silicon (have had previous experience with this several times) and if the video card isn't completely shot you will usually see a base video card screen as a default... but my screen flashes dimly for a fraction of a second, which could that a its ok or a quick power surge of initial start up made it flash

HELP!!!!????!!!!

Thank you
