samsung R55 blank screen.

hello crossfire!

at the moment i have a samsung r55 notebook here, which doesnt show any activity on the screen when you power it up. Some lights are flashing, but the screen just stays black.
Its the notebook of a collegue, he said he was playing poker and suddenly his screen just went black. Since then theres no activity..

I already tried an external monitor, but it also stays black. I changed the ram, still remains black.

does anybody know if this is an known issue, or if its something related to gfx card (so it will go to the trash) or how to fix this.

cheers

Tried the "Fn" combination with another key? Like the numbers or F-keys ?

So, it doesn't even function when you turn it on ?

Hmm... I had the same black screen on a older laptop of mine.. Had to get it repaired, but the ppl said the LED lights were broken.. Might just send it back for repair tbh. :S

Video card died.
