All of a sudden after booting which starts up correctly with all the lights showing on the keyboard and the fan running - screen remains black - tried various fixes with no luck - also no longer charging - is this a battery problem? Charger only now acting as a power lead. Lots of possible fixes on you tube but I don’t want to do anything to make it worse - can anyone help me please?
