Why would the screen not turn on at all now, and does anyone have any suggestions? It's an expensive laptop to break so easily. The 3 Caps lock, num lock lights are not doing anything. The screen stays off, it's continuously beeping 8 times, then pausing. I am still receiving the 8 beeps, but now the screen won't even turn white. I unplugged this and plugged it back in hoping it may help.Īfter plugging the 2 connectors back in, and the 2 keyboard connectors, and putting the battery in, I tried to turn on the computer. I unplugged the connector labeled 2, so as to remove the bezel, and traced connector labeled 1 back to the lcd. I took off the 2 screws for the bottom case, then took out the screws labeled I, and P, as well as the 5 keyboard screws. Being a computer guy, I figured I should take the keyboard off and make sure the LCD didn't simply become unplugged. He called tech support who said his warranty ended less than 3 weeks ago, and he would need to pay over $200 for them to look at it. When turning the laptop on, while it was beeping, the screen would turn completely white, but didn't appear to be cracked or broken, just completely white. After doing some reading online, I found that this is likely a GPU, or LCD issue. He says that his kid closed the lid fairly rough and all of a sudden on startup you hear 8 beeps, followed by a pause, followed by 8 beeps. A friend of mine owns an M17x that he has had about a year.
