My laptop screen is not turning on when I power it. I tried to connect it to a monitor but it still not working and I tried removing the battery,pressing the power button for a minute and turn it on to see if it works [ it worked earlier when I first experienced this ] So is there any other method to fix this? Thanks :D

If it's not working with an external monitor, it's probably the video card and/or motherboard that is bad. To get it to show up on an external monitor you need to turn it on an quickly close the lid so it sees the monitor as the main display. You will need a mouse/keyboard to use the system. If there is no signal on the monitor, you either need to look into replacing the motherboard or the full system.

I'll try to do the ram but I don't think I have the tool to open the panel since the screws are small
