R31 can't start

[SpogaS]

Hello everyone,

The problem is that my thinkpad r31 cannot start, battery is healthy and charger is ok, when I push the power button on, power and standby indicators turns on and about after 30s fan turns on, screen remains black. To check if it's LCD problem I've connected monitor threw vga output, and the monitor was getting signal but still not showing anything. What could be wrong?

P.S. I've managed to turn standby mode off, nothing has changed.

The difference is that I can't see anything on screen. I can't even access BIOS. It must be something wrong with hardware...
