Hi, good day. I need some help with this exact laptop.
Originally, it came with Windows 7 Pro. I changed the boot order to USB, and there were issues booting immediately. the keyboard will light up but not display. After countless tries, it finally booted. I installed Windows 10 Pro, updated all drivers, and restarted, and it has not come on since. only keyboard light but no display. I tried so many times. Now I hear the fan coming on, but there is still no display. Can you assist, please?
Does this model have any CMOS battery in the motherboard?
