FAQ's:
Q: What if I only have one RAM slot?
A: Then you would need to purchase another stick of good RAM to perform that test.

Q: My RAM is integrated into the motherboard.
A: If your RAM is build into the motherboard, then you wont be able to test for it separately. If its bad, then the motherboard is bad. Move on to the rest of the video. What was the result of the external monitor test?

Q: What if after all these steps my screen is still black?
A: If after all these tests your screen is still black and wont display to an external monitor, then you have identified the Motherboard as being the bad component. It will need to be replaced.

Q: None of the steps worked but my computer will display to an external monitor.
A: If the first series of tests do not identify the issue but your computer will display to an external display, then your looking at an LCD or LCD cable issue most likely. Try 'reseating' the cable first. Unplug it from the motherboard and the LCD. Then plug it in again. If that fails to correct the issue, replace the cable. If that fails to correct the issue, replace the LCD.

I'm trying to move the easier hardware stuff there so that I can focus on the more in depth troubleshooting and diagnostic videos here :)

Been playing with my laptop a bit, and came across this issue, didnt even come to my mind that the RAM was loose. Thanks a lot!

Should always start with removing/disconnecting the battery, as well as the power cord, and then holding the power button down for around 20 seconds to discharge the capacitors. Then put the battery and power cord back in and see if its fixed. This has worked for me on hundreds of laptops. I call this issue "stuck in sleep mode". Should always try this first

Thank you so much you saved my laptop. I had given my laptop to service, but he said that it was dead, after returning home I have searched how to repair black screen and I saw this video.After removing my ram my laptop has turned on. It was mind blowing 🤯. Mine was Dell.

My guy, you saved my career. Sunday night today and I tried to update my ram. Tomorrow I am working and my PC wouldn't start. Stupid me, I had put my ram in incorrectly. BIG THANKS

I’ve got an old gaming laptop that crashed and wouldn’t turn back on.I saw this video, and tried removing a stick of ram.Problem fixed.Thank you for your help.

Oh my God! I just opened (inside) my laptop and one of your tips worked! I am so thankful because I wasn't able to use mine for 10 months and it's functioning now. It takes too much courage to open a laptop without the help of a professional but it worth the risk. Thanks bro!

[InstrumentManiac]

Thank you so much for making this video! Turns out my ram was just loose, you're seriously a godsend.
Keep up the awesome work!

[johnpeterzenger]

Thanks a lot. I have tried many suggestions before finally landing on yours, which solved my problem immediately. I even bought an HDMI cable to connect to another monitor, but unsuccessfully. Wished I had come across your posting sooner. Once again, thanks a lot.

Thank you, Sir, for the video. I added an additional ram stick about a month ago.. and the laptop just suddenly had a black screen while being used.. following your video, I removed the new stick, and it is FINE!!! It is working again! Thank you!!!

[killster]

You will forever have my gratitude for making this vid.

This is helpful and thorough. Thanks.

I have a similar problem with my Asus laptop. The screen on restart SOMETIMES shows fine multicolored vertical stripes on a bluish background. The computer itself is working, based on the external monitor test. The thing is, the problem is intermittent. And when it happens, if I restart lots of times, the normal screen eventually comes back. Or, if I wait a little while, it restarts normally. I would think that would make the diagnosis that much more difficult. And I have to wait till it happens again to take to a repair shop.

Thank you so much for this video! I was able to fix my laptop. Didn’t know my RAM was the cause. I replaced my current RAM with my old stocks and it worked like a charm. ☺️

[AlBoogie]

It's always the simple stuff that gets me. I've changed batteries, though it was the screen, all types of stuff except the ram. damn!
Thanks, bro. worked like a charm. changed the ram and boom, damn laptop came on. Thanks again
