I'm having issues with my system today.. When I try booting the system once it gets past the HP logo stage it immediately goes blank. I don't know what's wrong. ( I used it to play PES till around 1am yesternight)

I've removed and fixed the battery still no solution

horllamy:


Possibly its hardware problem

As suggested by hollarmy, it may be a hardware problem. Even so, could you restart the
laptop please and keep pressing f10 for bios, a blue screen should appear. Then, use your arrow
key to navigate to diagnostics and run me an hard drive short test. Is the fan spinning ? could you smell burnt from the
air vents? any CD DVD in the disk drive. What's the make and model number and operating system type,
for example, hp 530 windows vista basic. Moreover, I could have ask you to run a memory test on the same screen.
However, I'm not sure if you would have enough nepa light or generator power.

Don't conclude its the flex (signal cable) . It may be from a bad screen. As regards the cost, it depends on the laptop and model. Whatsapp me on 08164685979.

I meant if you recently reinstalled the OS without driving it. If you didn't do that recently, then I suggest a physical examination by a technician is good
