Hi all,
My girlfriends laptop recently was having some fan issues. The main fan was making some horrible noises. I've worked on desktops before, but never laptops, but of course I dive right in with my bundle of confidence. I swapped the fans, put it back together, and...
Nothing. No power.
I plug in charger and power comes on, keyboard lights up and I can hear the fans, but no display. After a little bit of research, I believe I disconnected the internal display cable incorrectly, and damaged it. I'm unsure though. Tried plugging it into an external monitor and got nothing.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully someone can fix my stupidity. I'm really hoping this is an easy fix.
Thanks
(EDIT: I just had a look and the cable I was thinking of is an EDP cable.)
