Packard Bell Easynote LJ61 Blank screen when turned on

[SkittlezTheCool]

Hey,

I have a Packard Bell Easynote LJ61, and it has always had a bit of a dodgy screen, like sometimes it would flicker or go really grainy but I have managed to fix that. It was working fine until the other day when i reinstalled windows 10. I don't think installing windows 10 is the problem though since after installing it it started up fine, but I think it did wait on a blank screen for about a minute before logging in, then windows 10 worked fine, Then the next day I plugged it into the mains and pressed the power button. The light came on and the red touch screen LEDs turned on and I could hear a quiet fan but the screen was blank. No cursor or anything? It just stays blank forever. I even tried removing the touch screen part and cheeked the video cable was in properly, which it was and also the hard drive is plugged in fine. Not even the bios message shows on boot.

Help is appreciated!

Thanks

Hi,

Please do try these troubleshooting steps that may help.
- Start by doing a hard reboot, remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter then press and hold the power button for 20 seconds then try booting it up again.
- If this will not work, do test the AC adapter if it's working properly. Remove the battery and power the laptop with just the AC adapter connected and see if it will boot up or not. do also try a different AC adapter that has the same voltage and see if it will work or not.
- Proceed with reseating the RAM's if trying a different AC adapter will not work, remove them all for couple of seconds then put them back in making sure everything is seated properly.
- If it will still not work, connect an external monitor and see if you'll get any display from it. If there's a display on the external monitor that could mean that the problem is the built in display.
- But if there's still no display on the external monitor that means the problem lies in the motherboard.
