A month ago, I turned on the laptop to find it beeping (at me) eight times and then repeating the same a couple of times without turning on.

I realised that the laptop has actually booted up as the windows tune played in the background. I figured that my laptop's display is at fault. At first I removed the battery and it would switch on sometimes. Now, that doesn't work.

I now keep reopeoning and closing the lid, turn it on 8 or 10 times in hope that the display boots up. The display test works fine when I press windows key + power. It still beeps but the display test is carried out without a hitch. Please help with this. Have tried removing and reinstalling the RAM but to no avail.
