I cloned the system to a bigger SSD, inserted it and selected the right boot disk in BIOS. After that, only black screen. No access to BIOS, when I press F2. The fan starts and the keyboard lights up briefly.
I have tried with and without battery, with and without AC power, with and without RAM, with and without hard drives, with and without external monitor, always same result.
My guess is that the BIOS settings are corrupted, so I want to reset them, but how can I do that when I cannot access the BIOS screen? Is it possible without opening the notebook and taking out the CMOS battery for a while?
I have found a disassembly video, but previous repair men have made one of the screws impossible to get out and have furhermore glued the bottom and the top together so quite a bit of violence will be needed to get it opened.
