Warranty is expired
I wish I could give you more details but this is an alternate computer that I am currently on and I am trying to fix my grandparents laptop for them. Their HP laptop will turn on but no screen is displayed. I have tried hard resets and external displays to no avail as well as trying to connect it to an external monitor and my T.V. as well with an HDMI cord. When you push the power button the fan, hard-drive, Processor and LED lights all work. I have taken apart the laptop best I could without getting myself lost to check for faulty wiring and I couldn't find anything wrong or out of place. Nothing was loose at all.
How this happend is from what I hear they were watching a youtube video and the sound went haywire and their screen went completely white. They couldn't fix the screen or sound problem so they manually shutdown the computer by holding in the power button. When they went to turn it back on everything started up as far as internals go but the screen remained black and if you let it run for a period of time you do not here windows startup. I took out their hard-drive and tested it on my own computer and it works fine so I know its not the hard-drive. Their RAM and Processor are tightly in place and appear to have no damage done to them. I was not able to make it to the motherboard when I took this appart because I did not want to lose my place with the screws and connections.
IF anyone can help me fix this laptop I will greatly appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to read this post I look foward to hearing from anyone that can help.
