FAQ's:
Q: What if I try all these steps and it still wont work?

Q: My computer displays to an external monitor but wont display on its own.
A: If your computer displays to an external monitor but will not display to its own LCD, then your most likely looking at a LCD or an LCD Cable issue. Reseat the cable from both ends. If you need help with that, let me know. If that does not help, replace the LCD Cable and the LCD one at a time to find which one is bad.

You are such a good explainer for non-tech people! Not everyone can do that. It's a gift. I have (had) a bad habit of picking up my HP laptop from the corner of the monitor. I realize now how terrible that is so never again! Last time I did this the screen went black. Just started researching but sounds like the issue may be loose lcd cable? Just saw you have a video specifically for HP black screen so going to watch and pray a tech-dummy like me can fix without spending a lot of $. And hope I can put it all back together again. 🤞

When the first fix isn’t have you tried turning it off and on again: *visible confusion*

[jackmcguinness]

Thank you so much. Tried everything and now finally fixed due to you. Life saver!

Usually, these DIY fixes never worked for me but not this time. Thank you so much. Removing a RAM worked.

You, sir are an absolute life (and money) saver. It turned out to be the monitor cable I had to unplug and plug back in. if I could thumbs up more than once, I would for this and your video about taking apart the monitor and locating and unplugging the monitor cable.

I'm so grateful to you for this step by step troubleshooting approach. I applied it to an HP Omen laptop that turns on (powers up) but won't display any logo or image, the LCD however lights up a bit (dimly) but still doesn't display image. I was almost concluding it's the motherboard since it didn't display nothing on an external monitor when I first connected it via an HDMI cable until I followed your suggestion (disconnect the laptop LDC cable from the motherboard because some systems won't send any signal to an external monitor as long as their LCD cables are still connected to the motherboard) and booom!!! here comes the crazed and blind laptop displaying to an external monitor. It turned out that it was the laptop LCD that has gone bad because it displayed correctly after testing with another LCD panel. I really appreciate this video. Thank you so so much.

Thank you! Excellent video. My computer had only one ram, I swapped the ram from on slot to the other and it worked

Dude I can't thank you enough. 2 months ago I had to get my phone's display replaced which cost me a lot of money and since I'm still financially dependant on my parents, I had a mini heart attack when my laptop's display wasn't working. I almost gave up all hope because none of the solutions worked until I came across your video. I decided to give it a try and it actually worked! Thanks to you again man. Hope your channel keeps growing, cheers

I couldn't get my lock screen to load, then I realised an hour later that my screen was being cast only to my second screen which I was currently using for my PS4. I switched the source on my TV and realised and switched the cast option to PC screen only. I'm so glad my laptop is fine, I've had this HP laptop for around 8 years now. Such avoidable stress, lol.

[tamayo]

You're a life savior! Thank you so much. 🌸

[das_vinci]

Massive thanks, this tip saved me a ton of hassle and money. I managed to fix my laptop's issue (lit blank screen but is working) by myself by unplugging the LCD cable and plugging it back in.
