    I had this laptop for about an year and a half and 1 month ago i started to get black screen. All the components work fine so I am assuming that the video board doesn't work as I tried to connect it to an externat monitor and got the same results.
    the video board is Integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 1270 with HyperMemoryTM (64MB dedicated local frame buffer) and I was wodering if it is possible to upgrade it to an external video board.
