    Question How to fix my laptop's black screen of death?

    There are YouTube videos showing how to reconnect lvds cable on motherboard connector side and lcd side. It's a pull apart laptop job. But don't be scared. It's not hard. Usually frame around lcd snaps apart removing hidden screws by peeling rubber stickers away or using guitar pick to pry...

    Good that it stays on in bios. Suggests motherboard is not at fault. Refresh windows with different version and drivers to what you had. Either update or downgrade drives.good luck
