    Hi dp'rs,

    My laptop was running long hours and it may have gone into Stand by or Hibernate mode. When I power on it does not load the bios, no display. Please help how to sort this out.

    thanks

    Have you tried pressing and holding the power button (for 30+ seconds)?

    Try to connect it to secondary monitor to see if there is display or not so you can wake it up from hibernation.

    Do the lights on the laptop turn on when you power it on? Any beeps? Try taking out the battery for a few minutes, press and hold power button for 10 seconds, put the battery back in, then trying again. Any function key on the laptop to turn on/off the display?

    Overheating maybe?

    Also.. maybe try reseating your RAM. (long shot)
