I tried another RAM on it to know if it was the RAM that was causing the problem. the same thing happen, then i return its own RAM and it will own showing that it has has been put on but will not display anything. Please any help on this. Thank you

Brief diagnostic addendum that builds on 's description and the replies from and .

What to check next (in order, cheapest/least invasive first):

  • Look for POST signs: fans, HDD LED activity, and any beep or LED-blink patterns. Note exact blink/beep counts — they map to hardware faults on HP boards.
  • Test an external display (VGA/HDMI). If the external monitor shows BIOS/POST, the internal panel/cable/backlight is the likely culprit rather than the motherboard.
  • Search for a very faint image on the laptop screen in bright light. A visible image with no backlight points to inverter/LED backlight failure.
  • Try booting from USB media (Linux live or Windows install) with the internal HDD disconnected. This isolates HDD/OS problems without needing a replacement drive (an alternative to 's HDD-swap suggestion).
  • Run a memory test (memtest86 or Windows Memory Diagnostic) from USB to verify RAM stability even after swapping sticks.
  • Check the AC adapter and battery behavior — unstable power can produce strange POST/BSOD symptoms. If 's power-drain trick worked briefly, that often indicates a stuck firmware/power state rather than permanently healthy hardware.

If there is no video on either internal or external displays and no POST activity, the motherboard/graphics chipset is the likely failure; repair cost on an older Mini 110 often exceeds replacement value. If tests point to the screen assembly or cable, those parts are relatively inexpensive to replace. Document any blink/beep patterns and the original BSOD stop code before pursuing parts or service.

Hi,

If you have already replaced the RAM and no change, I would move onto swapping out the Hard Drive next.
Do you happen to remember what the Blue screen said? No biggie if not.
Also unplug all external hardware you have plugged in.

Let me know if this helps any or you have already found a solution.
Waffles.

I had the same problem too.
The solution is simple. Just remove the RAM, then take out the battery. Then again put the original RAM, screw up the cover & put on the battery. Switch it on & it will show the display.
