Hi Dave
This does help alot thank you, there seems to be power well I think, the screen seems to come on its dull but I can only see a few pixels coming through and the eject button works for the screen to slide down but i cant say i see the power light coming on. There is no sound though I can't even put a cd in to try that as the eject button is missing 😅. I did go to the scrap yard to try another and that didn't work either but if there's something else wrong that might explain why, is there any sure way of testing everything
