Laptop turns on and Im getting Blank screen

I have a CQ61-41QUS here that was working fine one day, next day turned it on and I am welcomed by Power light on, Wireless light on (orange) caps lock and numbers lock lights flashing twice - pause - repeat.  The charge light is on (plugged into A/C) and the power light is on, drive activity light never even flickers.  Screen is black, never posts, nothing ever comes on the screen (hence can't enter BIOS).  The Fan is running, the DVD drive makes a few clicks, but never boots even with a bootable disk in the DVD drive.  This is what I have done so far:
Connected external monitor, tried booting while using fn/F4 keys to activate the external monitor display - no change, nothing on the laptop display or the monitor display.  Have held the fn key and pressed F4 numerous times waiting 3-5 seconds in between presses to see if anything ever display - never get anything, just the same num/caps lights blinking.
- no change
Pulled hard drive, put in an external USB case, drive can be read on other computers, no errors found when scanned.
Cleaned fan/vents with compressed air
- No change
Pulled laptop battery, removed CMOS/BIOS battery, unplugged A/C adapter.  Held power button in for 1 minute
- no change
Pulled laptop battery, CMOS/BIOS battery in place, unplugged A/C adapter, Held power button for 1 minute
-no change
removed both pieces of RAM, blew out sockets with compressed air, wiped RAM module connections with soft cotton cloth, replaced one piece of RAM in first socket, second socket empty tried booting
-no change
     tried same piece of RAM in second socket, first socket empty

Never any display at all, never a beep, just those two blinking caps/number lock  2 blinks / pause/ 2 blinks / pause forever.

The specs say it's an Ati mobility radion HD 4200. Is there a way to test it? With multi meter. I'm wondering why would I be in luck if it were intel? I'm more mechanical/electronic savy then operating system savy. Can fix most electronics. But I'm stumped on this. And am I correct in thinking the GPU Wich is the video card can't be replaced easley because it's soldered to the main boards? Or can I replace it ? Thank you for any assistance, I'm very great full.

    Hi Darr4425,
    That's not good! We definitely want your device to work properly at all times. What email application are you attempting to open? When did the issue start? Do you receive an error message when the application force closes?

    I have been getting emails but recently I switch on and just find blank screen but the app says I am getting mail this is now happened to me twice any ideas?

    Quit mail like this.
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.

  • Getting Blank Screen

    Hi Experts,
    We has a custom java application which was deployed on Weblogic 8 in 2 JVM Cluster. Recently we have upgraded the Weblogic to version 10MP3. But sometime users are getting blank screens and once they hit F5 the screen comes back. Users are using IE7 and IE8. We are not able to test on any other browser as that is not certified within the orgnization. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Issue is intermittent so very hard to troubleshoot/reproduce.
    Regards

I have tried takin the battery out and just using the power supply cord but that didn't work at all, please help!

    Hi! First a little gripping out. Both your messages leave a lot to be desired. Second neither of you posted your model number, so we don't even know what OS you are using. Third, you need to start your own message, not post on someone else's.
    Now after gripping you out, start here.

  • Using iPhone 5 on IOS6, getting blank screen on App Store Search

    Anyone have the similar problem?

    Hi,
    For some reason there appears to be a multitude of threads on this rather than one big one - so it's a somewhat labourious task having to go through all for an answer!!!
    I had this and tried absolutely everything before resetting. However nothing worked. The only way this worked for me is:
    Settings
    General
    Reset
    Erase All Content and Settings
    Then follow from there. It would be wise to ensure that you have backed the phone up to iCloud or iTunes prior to doing this.
    Annoying as I've just come from Android and didn't have any issues with apps there. Doesn't inspire confidence at all, especially as a seemingly widespread issue.

  • I am getting  blank screen with the symbol for files and a question mark on top of it on my imac. How do i resolve this?

    When I start up my iMac, I get this blank screen with a flashing ? (question mar). how do I resolve this?

    Here's what I did. I pressed options moment I powered on the iMAC and it started up.
    The blinking folder + ? means that the Mac can't find your startup disk. Holding option down after the chime means you're forcing the Mac to look for any version of OS X on any connected disk. If it then finds your HD and starts up, one of the following needs to be done :
    1. Verify and if necessary Repair your HD using Disk Utility
    2. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
    3. If there is a slowly developing issue with the HD it may need to be replaced
    4. If none of the above, it could be the logic board (usually capacitors)
