    hi my laptop aspire 5738 totally dead no sound from inside when trying to turn it on blank screen and only the power led light works and the battery led light works when i plug it to the charger its a blue light
    tried to take off the screws and have a look inside maybe some part burned
    but no every things looks good i clean the board a little bit with some cool air and also doesnt help
    same position just when i plug the charger the power button lights up and the battery led also lights up
    trying to press the power button milion times and nothing changed :S

    It sounds like GPU chip is dead. Was not your laptop overheated some time ago?
