Hello! I suddenly just got this issue recently where everything turns on but the display is just black. My laptop's screen would turn on after a day or two of not using it, and the proces will happen again if I let it sleep or if I shut my laptop off. The weird thing as well is that when I shut the laptop down, it wont power off. The display will go black, but the fan and lights would remain on. I was told that this is a Mosfet problem, where sometimes the power coming from the mosfet wont be delivered to power up the screen. I'm not so sure if he is accurate with it. Thanks for your time!

WOW, the RAM fix worked. Thank you!

My HP laptop charges while off. It stops charging when on HP Model H61LD5AK. Should I take off the Cover and test the charging jack and power to the motherboard. Do you know if this model's jack can be replaced? Which of your posts shows how to get the cover off?

Hi! I found this video very helpful, my HP computer fell a short distance and ever since the screen has been black. I tried plugging it into a monitor and it worked, so I've been using it with the monitor ever since and just accepted that the screen was broken, but recently the screen of the laptop flashed on while I was working on the monitor, and it made me think that maybe the screen is fixable, you said that the issue is likely with the LCD or LCD cable? I'm not very knowledgeable with computers, and I'm having trouble finding videos on where the LCD cable is and how to try and fix it. I think maybe it just got loose from the fall?

Hi Jamon, I have a Toshiba Tecra Z50A which has a black screen. I saw it go faulty a few months ago - it went bright white and then went black. Following your steps to diagnose the problem - I found it works fine on my HDMI external screen, so I went ahead and replaced the LCD screen, but no joy. Then I replaced the LVDS cable with a brand new original Toshiba Z50A cable from China, but still no joy. Then I went all out and bought a brand new Toshiba Z50A motherboard from China (moved over my original RAM and Wi-Fi sub-PCB), but still no joy! Now there is nothing left to replace (apart from my original 4GB RAM, but that must be OK as it works with the external screen, correct?). So then I thought software or driver related. But I also tried starting without my SSHD to see if it would display anything on the internal LCD screen in BIOS startup - but it remained black. Is this a clue? My Windows 10 Settings - Display tab says it can only detect one screen (i.e. the external one).

Thank you You are helping keep up the good work 😊

Thanks for the video! I opened up my Lenovo and it appears to have 2 RAM slots, but there is only 1 RAM in at this time. I tried putting the one I had in the other slot, but it had to go in the opposite way and when I turned it on it started beeping and still no display.

I have a hp pavilion g4 laptop series When I turn it on the screen comes on like normal but with in a min. or so it goes dark and stays dark. I have done Ram test, clean fan, replace the thermal paste, tried the Win + B key. none of this works. I also did the self check but the screen does not stay on long enough and going to out side monitor does work but the same time the screen on the laptop goes out so does the monitor. Plus it does not give me time to go to HP likes you said to down load Bios. I have tried to do a Bios on USB but again does not give me time. Any Ideas?

Typically, with a display cable issue, the screen will have intermittent signal that gets less reliable over time. If you get an external hdmi/dp signal but no signal at all on the laptop display, I have encountered this where there is a driver problem. Specifically a problem with the graphics driver that Microsoft installs overwriting the Intel driver. Downloading the latest Intel driver, directly from Intel, and installing it fixes the problem. Also, doing a hard reset by removing the battery and even the CMOS battery, if present, can also solve the problem when it's not a display panel problem.

Hi, I recently removed the coin cell battery from my Dell G3 (3579) in an attempt to reset the bios settings. After waiting and putting it back in, now when I start it the screen stays black but the power button light continuously turns off and on after a few seconds on its own and it sounds like its trying to reboot over and over except the fans stay on. Why is that happening and can it be fixed???!

Hi I have a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15iil05 that has this issue. The motherboard only has one RAM slot. I reseat the RAM on the motherboard and it boots up properly. At this point I tested the RAM by using the Windows Memory Diagnostic and it found no issues with the RAM. However after a day or two of using the computer suddenly just shuts off even without me using it. Power remains on so battery and AC adapter is not the issue. It did this more than a few times and reseating seems to fix the issue for a few days. Do you think it is still a RAM issue even though the Windows memory diagnostic did not find any problems? Or am I looking at a bad motherboard? Can you let me know your thoughts. Thank you.

If some settings in BIOS need to be adjusted each time in order for the computer to properly load Windows, then I my first guess would be the CMOS battery could be bad.

If the settings are not being saved, I would try to replace that battery.

Hi, I have just opened my Acer Predator Triton 500 (p515-51) to clean and try to make it getting less BSOD. Before doing this, I was getting many restarts due to unreachable errors. As I did it today 02/12/2022, I still cant say if the BSOD problem is gone. Need more time to confirm. While playing Warzone, my graphic card remained all the time in 87 celsius degrees, and I got just 40 to 50 fps. After cleaning, I have played some matches and the temperature remained at 83 degrees and I got regular 70 fps. I think it is a good improvement. Here comes the problem. My display screen is black. I need to do everything on my monitors. And the most weird is that my laptop screen is recognized on windows display settings. I would like to ask you to show where, inside the laptop, the problem may be. I think it is in a cable that goes to the side of the screen and is flat, like a paper, and brown. I am not sure, though. If you can help me, I appreciate. Thank you. P.S. I tried to find that manual with the architecture of the laptop, but I didn't find it.

Yes, you could be looking at a bad LCD or LCD Cable. Is this video like yours? kzread.info/dash/bejne/fXul2q-Ok9nYc6g.html. The LCD Cable usually runs down the left side of the LCD Display, through the Hinges and into the Bottom Case.

Hi, thank you for that great video. Your explanations are super easy to understand. I followed all the steps with no success. My laptop turns on and the Dell logo comes on the screen, then it starts thinking (bubbles moving in circle) after a while the screen goes dark blue/grey and nothing on it. When I move the mouse there is a cursor and a small blue "thinking/loading" circle shows up. Then nothing. Then the thinking circle goes away and the screen stays the same dark blue/grey. Please help.

After a liquid spill, you want to first make sure the computer is 100% dry. You would turn your computer off immediately by pressing and holding the power button until the computer turns off. Then you would disassemble the computer as much as your comfortable with, at least trying to remove the bottom case. Then you would turn it on its side and let dry for a couple days. Have you done this yet or are you sure the computer is dry?

If the computer displays fine to the second monitor, then the issue may be with your computer's monitor or LCD Cable. Try unplugging and then plugging back in the LCD cable at both ends. If that fails to help, replace it and the LCD one at a time until you find the issue.

Hello. My Dell Latitude E6440 turns on whenever I press the power on button but there is no display. It turns on on rare occasions after many long tries of pressing the power button, but it has recently stopped doing that. I have tried the following: 1- Removed the battery, removed the CMOS battery, held the power button for 30 seconds, reassembled both of the batteries back, and tried to turn it on, but nothing happened. 2- After the first try, many many attempts later of turning on the laptop, it pops up this error: Invalid partition table. Had to turn on UEFI boot mode after many tries of pressing the power button and getting into the BIOS. 3- Tried to turn it on, but the icons next to the power button do not light up, except for the charging icon in special cases. However, the fan runs like it has overheated. I have opened it up, cleaned the fans, and changed the thermal paste but yet nothing pops up. 4-I have done the diagnostic test, however, nothing seems to be wrong. 5- I also have tried to do the LCD test where I press the Power Button and repeatedly press the D button afterward runs perfectly, but still, it won't turn on. 6- I also tried resetting the graphic drivers using CTRL + SHIFT + WIN + B, but nothing works. 7- I tried to connect the laptop to an external monitor and tried the first attempt (removing the CMOS battery, etc...) but still nothing pops up. I tried changing RAM stick places, but still, nothing works. As time passed by, this issue got only worse. At first, the laptop would need just a few tries of pressing the power on button and it would work perfectly, but now it gradually got worse where I had to press the power on button many times. Since this issue has persisted to me, I could not shut down nor restart my laptop (hibernation too), since it would just repeat the issue, I have been forced to keep my laptop in Sleep mode. Any help would really be appreciated!
