Guys/Gurus,
I have a Dell latitude CPx J series laptop and the problem I have is that the Screen is blank with nothing being displayed right from power on.

The system seems to be working with no display. I tried connecting it to an external moitor and it still doesnt work.

Could this be a video card problem or a motherboard problem?

I got it checked with a technician and he says its the video card and is charging me $130 to replace it.

My questions to the gurus here is:
Is there a separate Video Card for this model?
Is the problem actually video card or could it be something else?
Also, do you think the price quote on the repair is reasonable enough?


thanks in advance.
Warm regards
