A few days ago my laptop stopped working and would not turn on. I suspect that a power surge knocked it out because that's what also happened to another netbook that was plugged in.
My question is... if my motherboard died would that necessarily mean that my CPU is also dead? And is there any way to check if my CPU still works without putting it into a computer?
I was hoping to sell it to put towards buying a new laptop. And no I don't have warranty so sending it back to manufaturer is not an option (if it was even covered).
Thank you in advanced for your input.
