Hi Pavan, If the LEDs glow to indicate that power is available, the sound of a fan or spinning hard drive can be heard, but no colors, images, or text are displayed on the LCD display. The cause of this problem may be the failure of a hardware component, or an error in the instruction being sent from the BIOS to a hardware component. DO THIS FIRST - Perform a hard reset If a PC suddenly fails to boot properly, you should perform a hard reset as the first procedure. 1. Disconnect all peripheral devices and remove all USB devices and media cards. You want to test the computer not the accessories! 2. Disconnect the AC power adapter, remove the battery, and then press and hold the power button for at least 15 seconds . 3. Reconnect the AC power adapter (but do not connect the battery), Press the Power button, Look for glowing LEDs near caps lock and num lock keys, and Listen for sounds of a disk drive and fan turning. Actions to take after performing hard reset If no error message is displayed: 1. Connect an external monitor 2. Test for memory module problems 3. Test the hard drive G'Luck.
