Laptop turns on but screen is black.

My laptop turns on, and I can see the light on the keyboard and power button, but the screen is black. I tried taking out my battery and holding the power button and put the charger. It didn't work.

moe, the first thing I'd do is to attach it to an external monitor. If the external monitor comes on, it is something with your LCD. Could be the cable, the inverter or the LCD panel itself. If the external monitor does not work, you are having issues with your video card, which is an integrated part of your motherboard. You can download the service guide from here and it should help you with your laptop. Hope this helps, good luck.

"hello ,

i had the same problem , the screen is black but when I plug another screen by VGA it works ,

and the web cam works .

after 3 days searching and checking i found the problem and fixed it .

the problem is the video cable that connect the screen with the motherboard . because the screen closes and open many times , that causes the same cables are broken or corrupted .

the solution is to buy a new video cable ( before you buy, you have to specify the exact referance of the video cable ).

or , it is what i did ,

to fix the cable or cables that are broken by connecting them .

i did it it works correctly like it never happen. :)"

"Hi,

Try booting your laptop using optical disk or bootable usb and see if your laptop gives you boot menu if not then either your screen has gone bad or VGA is overheating. if your screen has gone bad you can test that by connecting your laptop with an external VGA LCD using VGA cable and see if your laptop is displaying.

Good Luck."
