In reply to Abdul Hameed. @ Abdul Hammed, Unfortunately, there is not much I can do to help. If the vide chip failed you will have to replace the motherboard. Are you sure this is video chip related failure? Maybe it's just bad RAM? Have you tried removing/reseating RAM modules?

I know this is a long dead tired thread but just wanted to post something that might help someone else.. The reflow methods listed are good and will (if only temporarily) allow you to use your laptop again. . Also note.. they used zero thermal paste on the gpu and there is no contact with the heat pipe inside. I suggest using thermal paste as well as 2 copper shims (one on the CPU and one on the gpu) to help disperse future heat. The first time I did the “oven” method and it gave me about 60 days of use.. then it did it again.. Sadly the oven method destroys heat sensitive components and although the screen worked again, it wouldn’t recognize the IDE drive for very long then it would “lose” or drop the drive. the oven method can cause every component on your main board to float from where it should be. I wouldnt use the over method.. It ultimately does more harm than good.. I currently use the a torch with liquid flux and an aluminum heat shield to float the gpu back into position. Reballing is near impossible for the average person without templates and the proper equipment but with a pen-torch/heat-gun, liquid flux, thermal paste, as well as copper shims for both the CPU and GPU it is possible to give your broken laptop a new lease on life.. It doesn’t work for all Laptops with blank screens, the 6 beeps of death, or gpu floating issues, but it has worked for me and I have been using this once dead laptop for 2 years post reflow with no secondary problems or another blank screen .. Also take care when reattaching the heat pipe not to over tighten it or you could push your GPU off its pads. i will post a video detailing the process but it is basically a combination of 2 or 3 solutions rolled into 1 long term solution. Good Luck…
