at first i was thinking "gpu failure" but there's less that can go wrong along that circuit than in the power source. plus, you'd think it would throw an error message or blink the LEDs rather than just staying blank.
plus the OD needs replacing too, so we've got a ship of theseus situation here. the only thing i'd get back from the shop that i took in would be the wireless antennas and the exterior casing :P
