I've recently come across an issue with my laptop and all other methods have failed to help me. When I start my laptop, the fan makes the normal sound it usually makes, the lights come on, but the screen doesn't. I know the issue is not with the laptop screen and I've tried tge battery cycle which only helps it load the acer sign eventually. I've also got one stick of RAM (8GB) which I cleaned and swapped to the second port but that didn't work either. Some say I should disable the graphics card but I only have one which is the Intel 4400 and I think it may cause even more problems disabling it.
Keep in mind that the battery cycle just speeds up the long black screen before the Acer sign and windows 8.1 login screen, however it still takes 8-10 minutes to load.
