Last week my laptop crashed and when I tried to restart there was no display and a continuous 8 beeps. After researching I disovered this was an LCD display error and tried all of the solutions I could find online:
Hold D key on startup, and hold Fn key on startup, none of which worked. Then I tried to connect an external monitor via HDMI which didn't work, but it did work when I connected the monitor via the VGA port. I scanned the system for hardware errors but none came up, the graphics card was reported as working normally, so I figured the problem lies with the display.
I ordered a new screen and fitted it yesterday, but I'm still having the same problem, so it would seem it wasn't an issue with the display at all. Would this mean that the problem lies with the ATI graphics card?
Any help greatly appreciated!
