I own a Dell Inspiron 15r N5010.
Few months back , I intermittently faced black screen issues. The laptop screen would go show black screen while playing games or during work. Now the laptop powers on, but there is no display.
A list of things that I have tried,
1. Connected to an external monitor. No display there as well
2. Reseated LCD cable. No hope here too
3. Removed RAM, tried a new RAM. No display
4. Removed battery, used charger to power on the laptop. No display on this step as well.
Now I am unable to even see the BIOS screen. I would like to know the below,
1. Can it be a motherboard issue. The approx cost of replacing this from DELL.
2. If it is a LCD lighting issue (I am suspecting this because, the screen behaves like laptop is powered off). The approx cost for replacing the LCD screen.
Thanks in advance.
