HP Probook, screen not lighting up.

[Aldrog]

I just got a HP Probook 4530s and installed Ubuntu, then decided to poke around in it, removed the CD/DVD drive, the hard drive, the ram, the wifi card, and the battery. Turned it on, the power button lights up, Caps lock flashes, but i have a blank screen, nothing, not even the screen is lighting up, please help.

When you were poking around it in you may have knocked the ribbon cable to the display loose, got it caught, pinched it, tore it, bent it, etc. You would need to go in there and check it.

That would be the first thing I would look at.

Took out the battery and held down the power button for a few seconds, fixed the issue.
