Lenovo G700 fan is running but display stays black?

On my former laptop it's like this when I turn it on, I hear the typical laptop sounds when it boots up but the display stays black.

Have already tested the graphics outputs (HDMI and VGA) but no signal.

Can that be that the display is defective?

thank you in advance

Hardware:

Processor: Intel Core i5 3230M

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT720M

Not likely.

Connect external wired keyboard to a right USB port, turn on the notebook, wait a bit. If the keyboard responds with LED on NumLock or CapsLock keys then the board is running, the error lies with display / display cable or their contacts.

If as expected, it does not respond, the error is due to motherboard. Google for Lenovo G700 motherboard repair.

Just connected an external keyboard several times CapsLock NumLock and Roll Lock pressed the leds have not lit up

Then blame the board. Whether embedded controller, its firmware, BIOS chip or PCH… These errors mostly occur on this board.

In a fraction of all cases, it helps to remove the BIOS battery for a short while, thus resetting CMOS.

Hy

Have the Bios battery removed 10 seconds and restarted exactly the same game. But sometimes a question where to find the part number of the motherboard?

It is printed on top near HDD outlet. It's called "BAMBI motherboard" It was built with several different GPU and also without a GPU, you have to pay attention.

I find on my HDD bracket a PN number underneath is BAMBI HDD bracket and then a date

Upper side, so under the keyboard and upper case.

How do I get to the top? Remove motherboard? Or can I see that when I build the keyboard

Hy

Because I have a GT720M with 2GB, and the link shows a version with GT720M and the socket for the i5

Ig

So exactly the same as linked. Remove keyboard, remove upper shell then you see this designation. You will not find more information there. The motherboard is called simply as written BAMBI motherboard.

Hy

I have the keyboard out there how do I get the top shell off? Have just solved 3 screws that were connected to it, but still can't get down

Ig

Perform everything until 5:30.

Hy

It is a BAMBI motherboard

Ig

What a surprise.
