Aspire 7535G - Faulty Boot

SpannerMagnet

Hey guys,

 

I've had an Acer Aspire 7535G for 4 years and about a month ago I've had a big problem with it.

The laptop was working fine the day it happened. I left the house for a while and when I returned I started her up again. I pressed then power button. Like always, the blue light around the power button lit up and the hard-drive began to spin.

 

However, it immediately fell silent and the screen displayed nothing. I've tried connecting it to an external display via HDMI & VGA and it is still non-responsive.

I was doing exams at the time this happened, so I gave it to a family friend to look at because I was too busy.

 

He swapped the motherboard, HDD, CPU and RAM with a different models and still didn't work.

The Acer Aspire 7535G has an onboard and a dedicated graphics chip. He even tried the above without the dedicated graphics card.

I really can't diagnose what the issue is.
