Asus Laptop led turns on, HDD turns on but nothing else happens

kurtmuller08 · Apr 8, 2018

So I opened up my laptop to look inside. I didn't touch anything. I then closed it back up. Afterwards I go to turn it on and on the power led turns on. The other lights flash for a bit then stop. The screen doesn't turn on. I can hear the HDD still but nothing else happens. What are possible solutions to this. I have tried taking outtl the battery and charger, holding the power button for 60s, and turning it back on but nothing happens. Please help quickly. I'll be in insane trouble if my parents found out. It is an ASUS P-Series P2540UA-AB51.

Try this...

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.

If you can see fine on the external monitor, then your attached display, or the ribbon cable that connects it, are your problem.

If you can't see on the external monitor at all, or the problem occurs on the external monitor as well, then it is probably the graphics card/GPU that is the problem, which may require the motherboard be replaced.
