Problem
After starting the notebook, the display stays black and the notebook neither boots the OS, nor I am able to get into the BIOS. However I know that the notebook is running, because I can hear the CPU-fan and see the status LED shining.

Attempted solutions
> [Fn] + [F6] Increase screen brightness.
> [Fn] + [F7] Toggle screen on/off.
> Remove SSD, boot, reinstall it, boot.
> Remove RAM, boot, reinstall it, boot.
> Switching RAM-bars (all four possibilities).
> Plug in a second external monitor … no signal.
> [Fn] + [F8] mirroring the monitor … no signal.
> Remove the accumulator, hold for two minutes the power-button, reinstall the accumulator

Annotations
Unfortunately there exists no removable CMOS battery, instead the notebook is using a soldered capacitor and I don't know which one on the mainboard it is.
 
Solution
try this. disconnect the power adapter from laptop. remove main battery not cmos battery. hold the power button down for 20 seconds. re-install main battery. reconnect power adapter & turn on the laptop.

My fault, you are right!
I decomposed the notebook a second time and found the battery on the back side of the motherboard.
However, after swapping the battery the problem still remains.
