Power light comes on and I can hear the fan, but the screen never shows anything, not even the HP logo. Held the power button for 30 seconds already. Is this the display or something on the board?
Nothing at all. No lights, no fan, no sound. It was fine last night and was plugged in. The charger light is on. Tried holding the button for 30 seconds. Dell Inspiron, about four years old. Before I take it in, anything else worth trying?
Power light is on, fans spin, keyboard lights up, but the display is completely black. Happened after it was closed overnight. Haven't dropped it. Is this the screen dying or something I can fix?

The Mobile hotspot toggle in Windows settings flips back off a second after I switch it on. Wanted to share the laptop's wired connection with my phone. Wi-Fi itself works fine. Any idea what blocks it?
It powers on, shows the Acer logo, then goes to a plain blue screen with no error text and sits there. Can't get into Windows at all. Was fine yesterday after an update. Is there a recovery option I can get to from here?
Happens two or three times a day on my Windows 11 laptop. Mouse stops, nothing responds, not even Ctrl+Alt+Del. No blue screen, just stuck. Updated drivers already. Where do I start looking?
Gaming laptop screen has fingerprints and some sticky marks near the bottom edge. I'm scared of scratching the anti glare coating. Is a microfibre cloth with water fine or do I need a proper screen spray? Not using windex obviously.
