POWER ON NO DISPLAY TROUBLESHOOTING

🛠️ If your laptop powers on but shows no display, here’s a basic troubleshooting checklist to help you narrow down the issue:

🔌 1. Check Power and Connections

Ensure the power adapter is plugged in and the battery is charged.
Look for signs of life: fan noise, LED indicators, keyboard backlight.
Try a hard reset: unplug charger, remove battery (if possible), hold power button for 15 seconds, then reconnect and power on.

🖥️ 2. Test with an External Monitor

Connect your laptop to an external display via HDMI or VGA.
If the external monitor works, the issue may be with the laptop screen or backlight.

💡 3. Use the Bright Light Test

Shine a flashlight directly on the screen. If you see a faint image, the backlight or inverter may be faulty.

🧠 4. Reseat or Replace RAM

⚙️ 5. Boot into Safe Mode

Force shutdown and restart multiple times to trigger Windows Recovery Environment.
Choose “Safe Mode” to check if the issue is software-related.

🔄 6. Reset BIOS or CMOS

Some laptops allow BIOS recovery by pressing specific keys (e.g., Ctrl + Esc while plugging in power).
You can also try removing the CMOS battery (if accessible) for a few minutes.

🧰 7. Update or Reinstall Drivers

If you can boot into Safe Mode or external display works, update graphics drivers via Device Manager.

🧪 8. Consider Hardware Failure

If none of the above work, the issue could be with the motherboard, GPU, or screen cable.
Seek professional repair if you’re not comfortable opening the laptop.
