Solved! No Display Help

[tyler.william.hardy]

I have an Alienware 15 R2 Laptop. I can’t afford any kind of repairs. I was watching a video a couple of days ago when my computer suddenly shut down. Since then, whenever I start up my laptop the LED for the power button lights up, but nothing else happens. No fans, no display, nothing. There seems to be a slight sound, like the fans are trying to start, sometimes when I try to turn it on, but usually not. I have completely disassembled the laptop to remove the battery in order to try to drain the battery, as I read online that might help, and, of course, nothing. I have removed both memory sticks and have tried booting with neither, one, and both of them, and nothing changed each time. I tried resetting CMOS by touching the two points with a flat screwdriver at the same time - nothing. I’ve pretty much done everything I have thought of and seen online except replace the motherboard, because I don’t have a replacement, I have no idea the cost, and I don’t even know if I need to.

If anyone can help, please do. I really need my pc for work. Thanks.

Note: I must disassemble most of the computer to reach the battery, and then reassemble most of it to have access to the power button.

Sounds like a bad motherboard. If you remove all the RAM sticks and try to turn it on, does the system give you error beeps?

Nothing happens. Still not sure what do.

Would need to test with a working/new motherboard. No beeps with no RAM is a good sign the motherboard is bad.
