hi, i have the asus k52jb laptop with Mobility Radeon HD 5145 - it's apparently fried (the computer turns on but the screen doesn't), can i use another graphic card?
i tried plugging it to a screen through a VGA cable and HDMI cable and still nothing worked.
but the lights on the laptop keyboard turn on when i turn on the computer.
also i took out the hard drive and connected it trough USB and it worked
 
There is more than just the video card issue that can cause the screen to be blank, bad motherboard, bad screen, bad backlight. If the video card is in an MXM slot you can replace it. Can you connect the system to a monitor and see if that works? If it does, the issue is the screen not the card.
