The above suggests that the screen is ok as the settings are controlled by the notebooks hardware rather than Windows.
If your notebook normally beeped once when it successfully booted up, try removing both sticks of RAM then powering up the notebook, the computer will not boot for obvious reasons and what we are looking for is to see if you get any error beeps with no RAM in the computer, if you do it confirms that the graphics solution has failed.

If using a computer and not a mobile phone, please avoid adding multiple posts while waiting for us to reply to your last, edit your last post to include anything that you wish to add, this will ensure nothing gets overlooked which can sometimes happen if a thread has more than one page, it also avoids filling up folks inbox[/COLOR]
I removed the RAM and when I switched the laptop on there were 2 beeps. The beeps repeatedly continually at intervals of about 3 seconds.
Based on your previous tests and the notebook beeping when the RAM is removed it would normally suggest that the problem is with the graphics solution I`m afraid, if it was a desktop you could fit an add on video card but being that the computer is a notebook there is no such option in this instance
A bad notebook MB replacement is most often not a cost effective option due to the high labour costs and the relatively low cost of a new or refurbished notebook that ships with Windows 10 pre - installed.
I think I had resigned myself to the fact that it was not economical to repair but wanted to make sure. Just checked on eBay and a MB is about Β£90 as far as I can see so it doesnβt make sense to attempt a repair.
Iβll take the hard drive out and put it in an enclosure. Everything should be backed up but just want to be sure. Will it be possible to recover software keys using the magic bean tool by connecting the drive to another PC?
It sounds like the screen still works too so I might salvage that to make a small monitor.
