Damaged AMD CPU

[shiner]

Trying to find out why my Compaq laptop shut down on me earlier and now want turn back on.

I've managed to take the whole thing apart and i'm looking at the AMD CPU trying to see if this is the problem....

Could someone have a look at a picture I've taken to see what they think, I don't have photobucket would have to e mail to you (sorry)....

OK how do I get that then to show in my post please?

Thanks

Right after cleaning it over alittle seems I'm left with a couple of marks, I can't smell anything. 1 mark is square there is also acouple of odd marks along the chip too.

I don't have another board to check it on at present, what about trying a different cpu I think I have a 2100+ somewhere

Is the Sempron the same as the old Athlon??

on the other side it seems where the chip is there is afew slight ripples but no colour changes

Might not be worth the effort of purchasing a new CPU as i'm not sure thats the problem, there was a small list of common problems with this model so just trying to check without having to buy loads of bits to check.

It had been fine then just shut off not been able to get it to do anything since, no lights no beeps no nothing

Well its out of warranty so might strip it down sell for spares
