Black Screen on start up - only fans are running

I think it was stepped on by accident. Basically there are some lead issues when it's turned off and screen is black.

That doesn't sound good. [emoji53]

There's no way of knowing what other damage was done sadly....

It seems to be working after the RAM swap. At least it boots consistently and I managed to reset windows to make sure that no software puts extra pressure on the heating.

Seems to be working fine but according to HWMonitor it's a bit hot on idle. While nothing is running it says min temp is 46C. I guess when I boot a game or something, it might go into overheat mode.

I'm not sure if may be firmware update could help with this issue as well.

But regardless I would like to thank everybody who took time to respond and help

If it was stood on it is possible that the RAM was un-seated which would cause the issues you described.
