1. Charge the battery for 2 hours, 2. Press the power button. If the laptop does not start, you can do this: Please use the VGA port (VGA external monitor), also please do these: 1. Unplug the AC adapter, 2. Remove the battery, 3. Remove the hard drive, 4. Press the power button and hold it for 15 seconds, 5. Plug in the AC adapter, Restart the laptop. If the problem persist, Note: Do not insert the battery, and do not install the hard drive. 1. Unplug the AC adapter 2. Reseat the memory (remove it and reinstall it), 3. Plug in the AC adapter, Restart the laptop. If those actions do not solve the problem, then your GPU/motherboard is dying.

try restore using factory discs or bootable drive. You made a bootable drive right? Right? LOL good luck

Can you be more specific? Repair what?

Make sure it is not accidently set to display on an external monitor only by using the following keyboard hot-key:Hold down the 'Fn' (function) key and click the 'F4' key.If the screen still appears dead you will want to check if the PC is still under warranty and send it back to the manufacturer for replacement. If not, a nearby PC repair shop should be able to replace the screen.

fan is hit something or worn out take it and have it replace before you burn the processor up .good luck

Sort of depends on the TV connections? Your laptop specs list a VGA prot and a HDMI port. What does the TV have? HDMI? VGA? Do you have the cables? Does your TV have a USB port? If so, you can put the Movie on USB. Does your TV have a Wireless Adapter? If so, you can add/share your videos from a Home Network. There are option but without the TV info, I can't give a informed solution.

Have you tried a system restore/recovery?

If your laptop appears to boot up and the hard disk LED flashes, then the problem is probably a back light fault. This can be a faulty inverter or a faulty CCFL lamp.
