do you see anything on the screen when you power it ON? also do you hear any devices starting up like the optical drive, the HDD, or FDD (if you have it). can you atleast go into BIOS settings?

Hi
Cant do anything ,the screen dosnt come on at all ,no bleeps ,just a slight clicking and i think the hd spins a bit but nothing else

just to test if it is a screen lcd problem or not; how about using an external monitor and check if you see anything coming up on the monitor.

did you try to update the bios and somehow failed in the attempt? or this happened just one day without warning?

Have just tried with another monitor ,nothing ! ,this problem has just reared its ugly head recently for no apparent reason that i am aware of and neither of my daughters are owning up to anything HA HA .
Thanks for the suggestions

Hi digger216!

Do you try to boot up using a power adapter plugged in? Try to do that. And is there anything you do to the laptop last time it worked properly, like drop it accidently or such?
