I have an HP Pavilion g7-1167dx laptop that I purchased used a few years back. I updated it to Win 10, 8GB RAM and swapped out the HDD for an SSD. It has worked flawlessly and for an older model I was very happy with it's performance.
So a few nights ago I powered it off. The next day I pressed the power button and the screen stayed off. I powered it off and tried a few more times with the same result. I did notice that the caps & number locks lights were on which they usually aren't.
I can hear the CPU fan spinning and it's blowing warm air out. If I put a disc in the optical drive it starts spinning like it always has.

So far I've tried:
- Connecting it to an external monitor with HDMI and VGA - No video with either!
- Swapping the newer 4GBx2 RAM with the original 4GB single RAM - Didn't work.
- Removing all USB devices connected to it - No difference made.
- Disconnecting the SSD - I knew this wouldn't help but tried anyway.
- Removed the battery and held down the power button to drain power from system - When I powered it back on the caps & number locks lights were now off.
- I've tried all this stuff again multiple times with & without it plugged in with it's charger - No video on it's screen or external monitors.
