Hello folks,
I have the exact same problem - with my satellite L645D-S4036.
I am quite sure that the hdd is still ok, and the ram is too.
Upon power on, the power light turns on, hdd spins up, the hdd light flickers a little, then it does nothing. No backlight, no image, no error beeps either!
Quite disappointing, as it was in sleep mode and it started doing this when I woke it up! Never had a problem with it, except for a loose solder connection on the power jack which I fixed about a year ago. I am an electrical engineering student, so I like to get some experience trying to fix this.
The computer is about 3 years old, phenom II triple core cpu, 4g of memory, 320g hdd, and some sort of radeon graphics chip. Worse case, the graphics chip could be dead.
No video output from external monitor connector.
If you need more info, I will gladly share it!
BTW, the cpu/gpu heatsink warms up as usual, and the fan runs too. VERY puzzling...
Cheers,
-Ben
