@Korawolfsrain could be any number of things, from expensive components or just something that needs reseated no advice except have someone who knows what they're doing and has spare parts take a look Troubleshooting steps start with taking it apart, cleaning it, and putting it back together again. Dry thermal paste could indicate an overheating issue. If it still doesn't work, they swap out parts until it works again. If they're lucky they can point to one part that when it's in it doesn't work, when it's replaced it works, back in it doesn't work. Proof. My familiarity with the particulars is out of date, but that's the basics. My intuition might start with power supply to try first.

@Mycroft pretty sure its not power supply as it does run to no end when turned on. It just doesn't give signal to the monitor But yeah. Guess i have to ask a pro. I just don't like it, since theres private data on the PC, but a shop can test around :neofox_melt_2:

@Korawolfsrain troubleshooting steps may also involve thinking of ways you could possibly have offended the Fair Folk and offering a sincere apology along with cookies to appease their fickle temperments, between taking it apart and putting it back together well sure it could've just been the natural physical effect of different materials expanding and contracting with heating and cooling cycles leading to a slightly loose connection and reseating it was all that was needed to solve the problem but that doesn't give you an excuse to be weird and buy cookies
