My saturn died last weekend. It boots to the date and time settings screen. Then black screen. Also, it have no sound in the date/time screen. It does have a modchip. I will open it today and see if the cap is good.
I've moved your post to its own thread in the repairs section - please start your own thread instead of necrobumping a three year old vaguely related post in future. It's here for reference. Take the modchip out first and check nothing was shorted by its install.
