Black screen (already checked CharlieÂ´s guide)

Check to make sure all of your cd/dvd controller pins are still soldered to the motherboard. I had a v4 that had a bridge and when i removed the bridge I had also removed the solder that attached the pin to the board. I just resoldered the pin onto the board and had graphics again.

how do you test for a damaged cap with a dmm?

They are pins on a V4 Ferid, or you can use vias on the underside. You are correct in later versions v5 onwards there are pads to solder to instead.

You can't. Best bet is to have a pro look it over and see if it can be saved.
