The chipset itself, is in the middle of the green, square small circuit board. The small circuit board, is used to connect the chipset to the motherboard.
The AMD ATI 780G graphics chipset is mounted to the motherboard, with a BGA surface mount. Ball Grid Array.
To explain the BGA surface mount let's compare to an older Intel Pentium 4 processor, that uses a Socket 478 processor socket.
The processor has 478 contact pins sticking down out of the bottom. The Socket 478 processor socket has 478 matching socket holes,
With a BGA surface mount, there are no contact pins on the graphics chipset. There are no socket holes on the motherboard.
In place of the contact pins are Solder Balls as you have seen. In place of the socket holes on the motherboard, are Copper Pads.
The graphics chipset is set into place over the motherboard, with the Solder Balls lining up on the matching Copper Pads. Then heat is applied at a specific temperature, and length of time.
This action melts the Solder Balls, and solders the graphics chipset, TO the Copper Pads. (Which in turn of course, solders the graphics chipset TO the motherboard )
IF, the cooling for the graphics chipset is Inadequate, the graphics chipset will overheat. Constant overheating, will partially melt the solder connections that were made.
When the laptop is turned off the solder connections will re-solidify. This causes Cold solder joints, and a poor contact of graphics chipset to motherboard. (Solder joint = solder connection)
Could be the graphics chipset just needs to be re-soldered to the motherboard, and better cooling for the graphics chipset, implemented.
Hence why the long 'tutorial' above.
Unless of course the chipset is obviously burnt. Visually checked, and seen burned.
PROPERLY re-solder, or replace, requires a BGA Rework machine. (BGA Rework Station) Here let me show you a BGA Rework Station in action,
The "media test failure" message usually occurs when it tries to boot from LAN instead of the hard drive. It most likely says something about an Intel/Marvell PXE Boot Agent. If it does, then you'll have to disable the LAN Boot ROM in the system setup boot configuration.

1: Check wether the on/off button on your power supply is turned to on.
2: Check your cables. Try switching with those from other pc's.
3: Check wether all the connections from power supply to the mainboard/ram/video/harddisk are OK.
