You may need to connect an external display to see what message it is giving you.


1. Turn the laptop off (not sleep or hibernate but off).
2. Connect an external monitor to the laptop.
3. Turn on the external monitor.
4. Turn on the laptop.

NOTE: You may have to press an "external monitor" button. Could be the f4 button or a button with two monitors on it, for the external monitor to work.

I did it,no display on external monitor.

Then it may well not be the display but the device that is the problem. It could be a few different reasons. If it is under warranty, I would contact that manufacturer.

If it isn't, then you can try working on it yourself (if you feel comfortable opening it up and doing so) or try a local tech.

I have opened it but i don't know what to check, i have already re seated ram and i am afraid it's the motherboard

It could be. As I said above, if it is under warranty, contact the manufacturer. If it isn't, I would still suggest having someone look at it. Even if they don't do the work, they can test it for you.
