FAQ's:
Q: What if I try all these steps and it still wont work?
A: If all of the steps here didn't identify the issue and the computer didn't display to an external monitor then we are left with your motherboard being the problem. It should be replaced. You can see an example of a motherboard replacement here; • How To Replace Lenovo ... . Let me know if you need help finding one or with the install :)
Q: My computer displays to an external monitor but wont display on its own.
A: If your computer displays to an external monitor but not to its own LCD, then your issue is most likely with your LCD or LCD Cable. Try 'Reseating' the cable first by unplugging it from both ends. Then, plug it back in. If that does not help, replace the LCD and Cable one at a time. Let me know if you would like help locating the correct parts :)

Man you're a legend; I was going to buy a new Laptop cos I gave up trying to fix mine, or even send it to a repair shop. That is until I came across this video and did the bad RAM test. It worked like magic. One of my RAMs was causing my laptop not to turn on for some reason. You saved me money and stress man, thanks a lot - wish you the best

Very coherently explained - you'd make a good teacher! My Dell goes dark across one side of the screen. Plugged it into an external monitor and I get a bright, clear output, so I guess it's either the LCD cable or the LCD screen. Fingers crossed - will get back and let you know the results.

Hi Robert, I am having same issue as you. After replacing the bottom cage of the laptop because hinges were broken, once put together, screen was faint. Can barely see anything. However, when connected to external monitor, laptop works as expected. Though can not see anything on the laptop screen. Were you able to fix your issue? if yes, what did it for you?
Just an FYI: For me and the Samsung Notebook 7, Windows updates replaced the display driver which was causing the black screen. Every time after an update the computer came on but nothing appeared on the screen. Plugged it up via HDMI to the tv and it showed everything working perfectly fine. I had to hunt down an older driver and install it. Before replacing the hardware, make sure the dreaded Windows updates aren't ruining your older laptops.
Wow! Resetting ram chips solved it! Really grateful to you!

I tried replacing my keyboard on my Dell G3 3579 and now it won’t boot. After pressing the power button it turns on, has a blank screen and the fans seem to go into overdrive. After 10-15 seconds it turns back off. I’ve tried reconnecting all cables and resetting the CMOS. After first replacing the keyboard the plastic clip that holds the ram in place broke and I had to switch slots… so now unfortunately I can’t test the original slot. What do you suggest should be my next steps?

Great video. To expand the question just a bit, if I may....my Dell 1545 boots up and displays the screen fine for about 2-3 minutes, then the laptop screen goes blank, but if I have it connected to an external monitor, the image is perfect. Having watched a different video, I successfully replaced the screen inverter, but I still have exactly the same problem. Haven't tried the RAM test yet, but I'll have done that before you have a chance to respond, and of course, if that should solve the problem, I'll update you. But I haven't seen this precise set of symptoms described in any other posts, so I'm wondering what they might suggest to you. Thanks!

Hi! Lovely video. I have the same issue but with a flashing error code from the led by the power. Two amber, two white = no memory. I don’t think this is the actual problem though. I changed the battery a few weeks ago and then last week the cpu fan seemed to stop working. Later the laptop started to do a diagnostic test and beeped loudly saying the fan wasn’t working. I ordered a new fan but in the meantime the laptop continued to work. We just used it for light tasks and it didn’t seem to be overheating. Then I struggled to login as the keyboards was really slow to respond. Now it is at the stage of your video where not even the logo comes up, just the keyboard lights and a little bit of heat from the processor area. The RAM seems fine and I’ve orders a new CMOS in case. I’m tending to think it has gone into a safe mode as it knows the fan isn’t working? Or does the error code mean there’s something more sinister going on, maybe the motherboard? Any help would be amazing thank you

Great vid. I got a quick question. I have a dell 15 7548 where the internal display doesn't work. However, when it's hooked up to an extertnal monitor (by pressing the FN button), everything works fine. I've already checked the RAM, CMOS battery and change an entire screen assembly, but the problem persists. I've checked online and apparently there's some type of chip that needs to be re-soldered on the MB. I was wondering whether you can share an insight as to the potential cause of this before I go ahead with soldering. THX. Much appreciated.

Usually, if the computer displays fine to an external monitor but will not display to its own, the issue is with the computer's LCD or LCD Cable. Try replacing the cable first as its cheaper :) Then if that does not work, replace the LCD.

No. You can go ahead and assume the issue is either a bad LCD or LCD Cable. I would reseat the cable at both ends just in case its just loose but if that fails, either it or the LCD may be bad.
Hi, my Latitude e5250 has this issue (black screen). It's not a ram issue because it I connect a monitor or tv it project's to monitor/tv. Is it possible to have a lcd/cable issue? I have tried unplug display cable from the motherboard and plug it again.. no luck. Any suggestions?

Yes. If your computer displays when hooked up to an external monitor, then I would try replacing the LCD Cable. If that does not solve your issue, then its most likely your LCD
I'm also having black screen issue with my Dell Inspiron 15 3000 series laptop -- bought it new and have only been able to use it for about 15 hours over 3 years.... no access to tools to open it myself. Worth bringing it in to get fixed? Or should I be saving for something better? What would you suggest?

Its always worth trying to fix it but if you cant get in to access any components then you will have to bring in to get fixed

PC Monkey - thank you. Just concerned that this is such a common issue with this brand and then could have the issue again in the near future making the effort to fix, a waste of money..... maybe investing in the tools to attempt to check it out myself first is the more economical approach.... thanks again!

I use my monitor with my PS4 and I can't get it to come on. I plugged a reg tv into my PS4 and it displayed the video. Are there other options for troubleshooting the monitor itself? I get the LED light in the power supply but not on the actual monitor.

If the monitor is getting power but nothing is coming on, its most likely the LCD itself of the main board.
Thanks bro it worked

Thanks. If external monitor is fine, but notebook screen is really faded - when I put a flashlight on my phone on, I can see what is on the laptop monitor, is it bad LCD?

My black screen issue occurred right after malwarebytes restart, is it possible that malwarebytes could destroy software preventing the screen from turning on. And could I fix it by simply formatting hard drive?
