My laptop screen is powering up but not showing anything

Apr 9, 2017 10:56PM PDT

I have a Samsung NP300E5Z laptop windows 10 and when I turn it on the screen doesn't show anything and remain black. (I've connected it to an external monitor via HDMI and it works perfectly) I have changed the laptop screen and cable but still didn't work.
If you have encountered this problem and solved it please let me know how.

Look at the manual for Fkeys

See if any show you how to swap screens or turn on/off the LCD or external. If that doesn't work, the laptop usually needs repair. Get estimates as laptop prices have eroded over time.

Press ON/OFF button

I have gone through the same problem. All I do is press the on/off button for several seconds or until the power light out and start again. It sucks but I don't know what else to do. Sometimes I have to repeat this step several time. If you have the solution to this problem by now, please let me know. Thank you.
