Hi, for some time my notebook does not boot anymore. It is a Packard Bell Easynote TK. When I press the on / off button, the fans still turn on and the LED lights but I get no picture. What can you do there or what could be broken?

AMD or Intel?

If AMD then blame chipset / graphics chip, if Intel then graphics chip.

Amd but the graphics card is on the motherboard with it.

If you do not even get the BIOS or the information from the self-test, then probably a hardware defect is present in which you can usually do little. The device will then probably be a case for the technician, but depending on the age, it may be doubtful that a repair is still worthwhile.

If the self-test passes without error and only Windows does not boot, then you can try to repair the installation of your notebook via a Windows boot / installation CD / DVD. Possibly. Also helps a complete reinstallation of Windows.

If the hard drive can no longer be recognized or do you need to replace them if necessary, in which case I would possibly recommend switching to an SSD.

Remove the power connection and remove the batteries for about 3 minutes. Now try to reboot the device without batteries. If this does not work, try starting your machine with an installation medium. If there's still no screen, it may actually be on the graphics chip. Otherwise, your operating system is damaged or your hard drive is down.

It could also be that cables are detached or other things happened!

The chipset is only cooled by a thermal pad, it breaks only. On the cheapest board is only one chip (Northbridge chip and graphics in one), the expensive had an extra graphics chip in addition to Northbridge chipset. On both variant of the Northbridge is the weak point.

Same board has the Acer Aspire 7551G, of which a lot has been repaired with these errors, but from Packard too.

5552G, has the same board, reversed, otherwise true.
