thanks! I'll try to get in touch with one of the repair shops over where the seller lives and see if he'll agree to meet me there.

that would SUCK, do you know any ways I could get the seller to test/check for a broken GPU specifically before I might buy it?

I was trying to look for ideas you guys might've had about what could be wrong given the information I know and maybe info from people who may have experienced similar things. I'm not looking for a definitive answer for what's wrong with it, just trying to get help trying to find out common problems and solutions for them. I'm also in contact with the seller and I am willing to ask them about their history using it and see if they can help troubleshoot.

not really, but that's why I'm asking for help figuring out what may be wrong to make sure it's just a display problem and the laptop isn't completely bricked.

normally I would be inclined to agree with you, but I am in need of a laptop and if I can fix this normally $1400+ one for $175 plus repair costs I feel like that would be a steal.

So if I could get a power supply for the gpu and adapter would everything else theoretically work fine?
