The laptop is a HP Compaq nw8440 mobile workstation. It was working fine yesterday, but when I go to turn it on now, all I get is the fan spinning (no speed scaling, full power only), power LED is on, mute LED is on. DVD drive whirrs to check for disk twice (but only does it once when it it working). Screen does not even turn on, no backlight even, and no output from the VGA port.
I tried removing the CMOS battery and then putting it back to no avail.
What should I do now?
And don't say "get a new laptop that thing is rubbish" because it's had a RAM upgrade and an SSD in it and now it's half decent.
