My GCp is about done and It won't power on! The screen flashes white for a second and than does nothing. The fan still goes, for it is connected directly to the power source. Please help me!!!!!!!!

TRY HACKING INTO THE MAIN FRAME.

Isn't that usually the sign of a blown fuse?

Is the powerboard outputting voltage?
Is the LED on?
Do the chips get hot?
Does the lazer move/disc spin?

Don't know

Don't have access to discs, all at parent's work (long story.)

are we being a little melodramatic?

well, so check with a multimeter

Okay, if it was being powered correctly, the chips should be hot, the laser should atleast move, with the cover "closed," so check your power wires.

And buy a multimeter.

I already have, and have used, a multimeter.
also, I long ago bridged the pins of the lid sensor.

I added the DD pcb and DD, but no pins are bridged.

Try unplugging it, if you can. or, if its wired, search for the pinout and remove all the gnds.

I assume the voltage is coming out of the reg.

It is already unplugged. Thats how I power it on, by plugging it in.

I meant the DD

Well, I already compleately stripped the whole thing after this started, so, all I have is the reg hardwired on and that's it.

is video going to a screen or the tv?

EDIT: If its fried, I have a working gc that just needs the DD to be hardwired to it.
