My sister brought me her old laptop to see what was wrong with it to try and fix it. It is a Gateway MX3230. I press the power button and the blue power light shows. I can hear the harddrive spinning. After about a minute one of the fans inside comes on and I can feel warm air come out the side. The issue is that the screen is not displaying anything, at all, and when I press the button to open the DVD drive, it does not open. Also when I hit numlock or capslock, the light for either is not coming on. Can anyone help?
