A few years ago I bought the Lenovo G550 laptop, and it finally collapsed after many years. The problem is that it won't boot at all. When I first opened it, the fan was spinning, but I had a black screen, and the laptop was unresponsive. I held the power button down for many seconds, however it did not shut off, so I removed it's battery to see what was wrong. And then once I tried turning it on...
Symptoms:
-Black screen
-Fan isn't spinning
-Power LED is turned on
I took the laptop appart, removing and cleaning the RAM/HDD, checking the fan and various other stuff, but no luck thus far. I checked on the internet about other threads, and I found a guy that said that his 2 year-old Sony Vaio had the same thing(but the fan was spinning). So he found out that his GPU was damaged and that's the reason why it wasn't turning on(unfortunatelly, I have no link for that thread anymore). It could be the same thing, but since I'm not that good into problem solving, I'd like to get some extra hands(or brains) on the the matter. Any infos help and I appreciate them.
Thanks in advance.
