Acer Won't boot

[BabyNine]

I have a Acer E1-531 laptop, It needed a screen replacement, so I took out the HDD (500G WD) to use on another laptop. I now got another screen and another same HDD (500G WD), I installed both on my Acer laptop.

Now the problem is when I turn it on, the screen lights up (backlight) but just stays blank. It's like the laptop does not initialise, the fan only runs for a few seconds and stops. The same thing happens whether I use another HDD or remove it altogether. Also connecting it to an external monitor does not work and hard reset (Alt+F10) does not work. Also tried pressing power button for 60s without battery and unplugged.

I will appreciate any responses.

Welcome to the community, BabyNine!

I'm sorry to hear about your WD drives causing you such issues. However, I'd have to ask if you can access BIOS and see how the drives are detected there. When in BIOS, try to do a reset and hopefully that will get things to work properly ( http/www.wikihow.com/Reset-Your-BIOS ).
I'd also make sure that the connections inside are all properly plugged. Since I'm not sure that your replaced screen is working accordingly, I'd suggest you to use the external monitor to access BIOS.
However, I believe that it's probably best to get the laptop to a professional PC repair service and let the tech guys there handle this. They'd most probably be a lot more helpful in finding the source of the issue.

Let me know how it goes, though! Good luck!
