Hey guys, I've had a cf-18 in the loft for a couple of years and decided to get it out. It was stored in a box and kept dry so that shouldn't have caused any issues.
I powered it on and all was good for about half an hour, then the screen went funny, the screen I was looking was still there but distorted and fuzzy red was on the majority of the screen. The fuzziness wasnt static though it was bouncing all over the screen. I could see the cursor but it wasnt responding so I assumed it had just crashed.
I force powered it off, and now when I try to turn it on, the power light comes on but nothing on the screen. Also the HDD light doesnt do anything like it usually would when booting the OS so i'm thinking its doing nothing at all. I've removed the battery and held the power button to supposidly drain the remaining power from the motherboard and also removed and reinstalled the HDD but this hasnt fixed anything. Does anyone know what this could be, sounds like something is fried but how do I go about checking what, if it is even that? Thanks in advance.
