    Hp G62 black screen, fan and hard drive functioning fine


    I have an old Hp G62 laptop here.

    It has windows 7 on it but im thinking of replacing it with windows 10 at some point soon.

    This laptop was working fine until a few weeks ago.

    It powers on but shows a black screen. Fan spins fine and i hear the hard drive functioning too. The power light is blue so that looks good. The wireless wifi key shows red and next to the charging cord the light shows red, both solid red.

    I tried a hard reset but no luck.

    I did find some information in this video @ 7:09 about battery leak.

    How to fix Black Screen of Death - HP laptop - YouTube

    I tried this last step once and the laptop worked.

    After that it did not work and i did not try this again.

    I might try that again but it is not a permanent fix.

    Any ideas?

    Reset the RAM modules by reconnecting the RAM modules.
    Blow off any loose dust or debris from the RAM using canned air. Hold the module by its edges.
    Clean the contacts using a soft cloth that does not leave fibers behind, such as a lens cleaning cloth slightly moistened with rubbing alcohol.

    Clean the contacts? What do you mean?
