Black screen- what to do

My laptop (Lenovo ideapad) only shows a black screen and somehow I can't get rid of it.

It went like this:

I noticed that my laptop was slower than usual for some reason, so I wanted to restart my laptop. After 20 minutes it was still restarting. Since I had a video conference shortly afterwards, I was starting to panic and impatient. And then I pressed the on / off switch for a few seconds. I know it wasn't the smart thing to stop a reboot, but I couldn't think clearly.

I already have shortcut keys like

- Windows + p

- Control + Shift + B

- On / off switch pressed for 3-5 seconds

But none of the above works. Can someone please help me? I urgently need my laptop again

So… Since your things didn't work, I guess either a defect in the mainboard or a faulty connection between the mainboard and the screen. You should either check it yourself or, if in doubt, have a specialist look over it

What exactly is the mainboard?

You have the screen, keyboard and if not permanently installed, the battery. These are all connected to a large circuit board that is located in the laptop, this is called the mainboard or motherboard because everything takes place on it when you want to do something with your laptop.

Thanks, but how should I check this myself? Because you can't just take my laptop apart. The battery is also solid

Unfortunately I have to pass then, I'm sorry. The only thing I can recommend is to take the device to a specialist and to describe the problem as precisely as possible. Alternatively, you can still carry out tests at home such as: connecting a PC monitor or slowly adjusting the screen to have at least done a cable test. In addition, I would also look whether, for example. The laptop gets very warm while it is running or there are noises that otherwise do not occur, and perhaps trying to remember whether you last downloaded a very large file or an unknown file. That's all I can compensate for and hope that your problem is not a total write-off.
