Good Evening Ladies & Gents,
I have a friends laptop that recently got the black screen of death. School is just around the corner so i'm trying to troubleshoot this as much as i can, and being broke college kids, we're trying to avoid buying a new laptop.
So, The screen is always black right from the moment the machine is powered up. I hooked it up to my tv and i'm getting a display. I played around with the Fn + F combination keys but no luck there. I replaced the ram stick from my laptop to hers and no luck there either.
From what i'm reading, it could be a few things - inverter or bad motherboard, or bad video card etc etc.
Is there anything else i can do to narrow down the problem any further.
Your time and advice is much appreciated.
Thank you
