G455 stopped working this morning

My son has been using a G455 notebook for just over a year without any problems.  He was using it this morning before school and put it into hibernation so that he could resume his work when he got there.  Once at school, he tried to wake it out of hibernation, but the display stayed black.  He's tried restarting it numerous times since then and never gets anything to show up on the display - not even the POST Lenovo splash screen.
No error codes - only operation lights in front of the keyboard and the sound of the hard drive and fan.
What kind of troubleshooting do you recommend?
Thanks!

Do you think I should follow the steps prescribed in the below thread?

My son is farily electronics- and computer-savvy, and he suspected the motherboard before he even told me of the problem, so I'm guessing he had a sense that the laptop had been running a little hot or something.
I've been building PC's since 1985, so if I could access a service manual (to make sure I don't break anything), I'd be happy to take a shot at replacing any hardware that may be suspect on this thing.  Any service manuals available?
Thanks!

  • My iPhone 3GS just stopped working this morning. It tells me activation is required and that I need to plug it into itunes. When I try to plug it into itunes it doesn't register that I have anything plugged in.

    My phone stopped working this morning, it tells me that activation is requires and that I need to plug it into ITunes. However when I try to plug it into my computer nothing happens, it will only show the apple symbol when I plug it into an outlet. Does anyone know what I can do to get it to plug into itunes or activate it again?

    Please plug the iPhone with the original doch-connector & USB cable into a USB plug in the computer (directly into the computer) and restart iTunes. It should register. Please do not stop the registration!!! You may need to press power on iPhone.
    Is the iPhone jailbroken?

  • Skype stopped working this morning, seems to be a ...

    I tried loading Skype up at about 11am this morning on the 6.21 version and it was crashing every time. I uninstalled and updated skype to the latest version (6.22.81.104) but the problem persisted. I tried several known fixes including deleting IE Explorer Temp files and updating Adobe Flash on IE Explorer but nothing has worked so far.
    The problem signature is as follows:

    Generally, the window stays open for around 1-5 seconds before crashing.
    Also, attached is my dxdiag. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • My apple password stopped working this morning and I had to reset it.  Why did this happen?

    When I got up this morning my apple password no longer worked and I had to reset it.  Why did this happen?  Do I need to be worried about my account being compromised?

    Only other users here. Apple is not here. Apple does not answer questions here. We have no idea about why the password stopped working.

  • IDVD 8 Stopped working this Morning.

    Yesterday I made a DVD in IDVD. No problems. This morning I cannot open IDVD.
    I have been working in Logic Express. That may be the reason something got shuffled.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    +I dragged the com.apple.iDVD.plist to the desktop.+
    You can drag it directly to the trash. Whenever your iLife apps start behaving strangely, it is highly likely that their preference files have become corrupted. You should always try deleting those files first. There is a com.apple.i---.plist file for iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD etc. Close the application first, locate the plist in Preferences on th home folder and trash that plist.
    Each application will create a new fresh plist when you reopen it. Many, many times just that simple file deletion will solve your problems.

  • Why won't drop downs appear? They stopped working this morning...

    When I click on the down arrow, the dropdown list flickers past very briefly but then disappears. It's happening on all websites

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • HT5176 Dictation was working this morning..now not WORKING,,help

    Dictation was working this morning...and now not working..the microphone looks like its working but won't type????

    There is currently a suggested fix going around on the form so you can try this.
    Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. Then go to Settings>General>Keyboard>Dictation>Off. You will have to then turn dictation on again and it takes a minute or so to reset the action with the Apple servers.

    Hey Amiee_19,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like your Ring/Silent switch may be toggled:
    Ring/Silent switch - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3bd01398
    Ring/Silent switch
    Flip the Ring/Silent switch to put iPhone in ring mode or silent mode .
    In ring mode, iPhone plays all sounds. In silent mode, iPhone doesn’t ring or play alerts and other sound effects.
    Important: Clock alarms, audio apps such as Music, and many games play sounds through the built-in speaker, even when iPhone is in silent mode. In some areas, the sound effects for Camera and Voice Memos are played, even if the Ring/Silent switch is set to silent.
    For information about changing sound and vibration settings, see Sounds and silence.
    Use Do Not Disturb. You can also silence calls, alerts, and notifications using Do Not Disturb. Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen to open Control Center, then tap the Do Not Disturb button . See Do Not Disturb.
    If the above does not resolve your issue, see this article:
    iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
