Need a bit of confirmation on my poorly laptop.
Turned on laptop last night and nothing happened...
- It doesn't appear seem to attempt POST ritual.
- Black screen (both internal and external screens).
- Fans spin and power light comes on.
- Battery seems to be charging (judging by LED)
- No beeps heard (expected to hear error codes audibly).
- Num/caps lock keys do not cause LEDs to light up.
I've tried (to no avail...)
- removing HDD
- removing DDR3 RAM
- WIFI card
- Everything relevant from the service manual
None of these things cause any change in behaviour whatsoever.
I don't really want to tear the entire thing apart to fix it, do you guys know any other things I can try to find out the problem?
This was working 100% fine 2 days ago and now it's a large paperweight. It's not been dropped or moved or anything like that.
Could it just be death by natural causes?
