This is an extremely basic and simple troubleshooting guide will show you how to possibly fix a laptop, netbook or notebook portable personal computer that, when the power button is pressed, powers up, the lights turn on, the fans spin, the hard drive and optical drives spin up, the connected devices such as USB receive power, but NO image, writing or text appears on the screen and NO POST beep error / message codes can be heard (essentially, the computer does not enter POST and boot the operating system from the initial bootup procedure that allows you to access the BIOS).
Typically, the CMOS (the component that governs which components are connected to your motherboard and how they interoperate between each other) has become confused and needs to be cleared AND / OR one or more internal components have gone bad (become faulty) and have to be replaced. This video will show you methods to remove and install SODIMM RAM memory modules and SATA hard disk drives (HDDs), which doing so reinitialized my system and allowed me to bring my eMachines d620 laptop back to life.
