ok here goes
I recently let me 17yr old stepdaughter use my laptop for a month or 2. She told me it was getting hot and had shut it self off numerous times.
The case is getting hot above the esc key top left of the case, after some research that area seems to be were the video card fan is
When you try to start the computer up the screen stays black but you can hear everything start up
I attached an external monitor and everything works and runs fine the screen on my laptop even begins to work until I unplug it, The screen then fades to gray sometimes flashes red, blue, green white and never comes back on unless I plus in the external monitor
my question is did my fan go out and has possible cause something inside my laptop to malfunction
