Black screen on boot. Vortex laptop not working.

My 4 year old Vortex laptop stopped working tonight without any reason. No previous issues. I was using at work few hours before.

Upon booting the system no lights are turning on above the keyboard just power. I can feel hard drive vibrating from the bottom of the laptop tho.

Black screen nothing shows up. I tried draining the battery and checked the RAM both sticks and slots separately, nothing has changed even when I take off both RAM sticks its just the same.

Any solutions?

Kind regards,
Stu.

Update:

Connected to PC monitor and tried function+f2 no image came on the monitor. Fans are spinning and it feels like laptop loads windows.

Are you getting any blink codes from the BIOS by the caps lock key to determine any fault?

If so that would guide you as to where the problem is, if there are no blink codes and it appears that everything loads fine other than it showing on the screen then it is weird that connecting it to a PC wouldn't show on the monitor which would then at least have indicated a screen issue for you or a connection issue to the screen.

Sounds like a hardware fault or something has come loose inside but I would have expected to see blink codes unless the MOBO has gone.
