I understand this is a very common problem, but I can't seem to find a solution. My laptop arrived today and was functioning normally for about 4 hours.
I flashed the latest BIOS as was suggested and rebooted, and everything was fine. However, I tried Gary Key's fix for the backlight on the keyboard, and after setting the HDD boot option #1 to my flash drive, the laptop showed a message along the lines of "Reboot or Insert Correct Boot Media", so I rebooted and the screen now does not turn even turn on at boot.
No POST splash screen or anything, just the 3 button lights in the top right corner of the keyboard turn on. I can hear the HDD start up and spin, but nothing happens. I've tried removing the battery for a while and trying again, but still the same thing happens
Is there any known solution to this kind of problem? I would like to try to fix it myself before resorting to RMA, if possible
