When I got my laptop back, the graphics card drivers for my ATI Radeon Mobility HD 5730 were reverted back to the factory&#8217;s drivers. It tried updating it to the latest drivers through the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amd.com\/\"><strong>AMD ATI website<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, but every time I rebooted my computer after the installation, my screen wouldn&#8217;t turn on anymore after the initial boot-up. The display works on an external monitor, but the laptop screen remains black no matter what I tried.<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to install the older AMD Catalyst drivers, but I couldn&#8217;t find them anywhere on the AMD website! <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.guru3d.com\/\">Guru3D<\/a><\/span><\/strong> has a huge list of old drivers, but all the download links redirected me to dead or broken links.
