Need help with Lenovo Ideapad
I have a broken screen Ideapad U410 which is being turned on after 8-9 years atleast. I connected a external monitor to it but no display shown.
Troubleshooting:(none worked)
• I plugged in Internal HDD as usb in a working device, it works. Not fault of HDD.
• I tried removing the internal display connector to force display to external monitor.
• Tried spamming Esc, Enter, Shift, Spacebar, F2 to hope it exits bios/boot menu into normal boot.
• Battery charging indicator and power on indicator works.
• Fan in laptop does spin.
• A mouse connected seem to lightup and i guess maybe working, but keyboard connected to same port or different one doesn't seem to do anything(caps,numlock,scrl lock indicators doesnt work)
• Unplugged the CMOS battery and plugged back in.
• Ram unplugged and plugged back in.
Help me with what I might be missing or how to proceed forward to set it up to work and get a display on the monitor.
