Things to Try If the Laptop Screen Turns Black

This post covers the solution of getting the laptop screen blank when we switched on the system. If you're failed to get the display as usual even when all other things such as cooling fans are running and other indicators are in proper, you can try these steps to figure out what the problem is or fixing it.

1.

• Unplug the power cord
• Take the battery out
• Press & hold the power button for 60 seconds
• Connect the power supply adapter
• Try to switch on the laptop
• Re-insert the battery back into the Notebook

If the problem still continues, try the following.

2. Try connecting an external monitor (you may use your PC monitor) to your laptop. Most monitors are equipped with a VGA connector. (If you're laptop is very modern, it may only have HDMI port. So try getting a HDMI to VGA connector).

Switch on the laptop after you connected the monitor. Use the specified monitor switch key of you laptop such as Fn+F1 or anything to toggle between the laptop display and the externally connected monitor. If you're not getting pictures on the connected monitor, try the next .

If the external monitor shows pictures as it should, then it may be a problem with the LCD display itself, specifically with the backlit bulb or inverter. This problem may also by problems with the lid actuator switch. It's better to take your laptop to a service center.

3. Often, if you're working on dusty surroundings, the laptop RAM could have dust stick on it. This results in system failure. Take a screw driver, open your computer takes out the RAM module carefully, the clean it using a soft cloth or something else then put it back on the board. Faulty RAM chip could also blanks out your display.
