Hi,
Hope someone can help. I have a Packard bell Easynote laptop.

I switched it on the other day and the device acted as normal until it reached the logo screen, there it stopped with no input from the keyboard making any impact.
I tried all the usual, F2, F11 F12 Ctrl+Alt+S. Nothing, so I just turned it off, now when I turn it one I will get either the logo screen, A blank screen with a cursor or even a completely black (no input) screen.

I have tried inserting the restore disks and although the DVD drive spins up I get no response from the display.
I have attached the device to an external monitor to verify that it is not the screen.
I have tried re-setting the bios by holding down the power button for 10 seconds with the battery removed then inserting power lead (someone told me this works) I would remove the Bios battery but can't get to it.
I have removed the Ram sticks and tested them in wife's laptop (worked fine)
I have thumped the desk in frustration (repeatedly)

Nothing works and the PB website is a crock, so please someone HELP
