Hi all, ive been given a friends laptop to put him some internet security on which i was planning to do when i stumbled upon this problem...
his laptop had a password so i tried to force it to boot in safe mode, firstly by hitting the usual keys (f's) in order to get a boot screen after that didnt work i tried removing all power once it was at login to force it to ask me a boot option, still didnt work. so i tried again with the 'F' keys when the thing decided to stop turning its monitor on.
all lights are on as usual, hdd is spinning, fans are on and no display. i've tried combinations of battery and power supply in and out, i've unplugged/replugged the bios battery from the memory hatch (this is a Samsung X11 by the way) and im still getting nowhere. I've also tried hitting the Fn keys to switch displays and connected my pc monitor which it will not power either!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated
