Laptop Black Screen. No Bios Boot
Good afternoon all.
My daughter's HP Laptop suddenly gave up the ghost yesterday, At first it just started to reboot itself for no reason, then it just refused to boot.
Windows 10.
The fan runs, the power LED is lit but the HDD LED is dead.
This is what I've tried....
1. Boot to the Bios after taking battery out and holding down various combinations of buttons, Esc, Win & V, Win & B etc. No dice.
2. Disconnected and reconnected the HDD.
3. Removed the two RAM chip cards individually and together, swapped the over, tried booting with either or both slots empty.
4. Created a USB boot file.
5. Trawled through the interweb/Pprune all day looking for further ideas.
I've ordered a new CMOS Battery just in case but I doubt thats it.
I have an identical machine that works fine. I'm toying with the idea of swapping the HDDs over but don't want to bugger this one up too.
Any suggestions ? I'm thinking its probably the motherboard or the CPUs goosed.
Thanks.
