Laptop died, no POST codes

My laptop died suddenly. It will power on, but then nothing. There are no POST beeps. What does this mean?

could be a lot of things.

If you had a desktop it would be easier to diagnose. The simple ways to start are by replacing parts with known good one. Swapping parts in a laptop is a major PIA.

Could be:
the power supply
the ram
the video device
the CPU
other

In a desktop, you would start by removing and reseting each of these items to make sure it wasn’t just that they had come loose and no longer had a good enough connection.

If you are asking this question, I doubt you want to disassemble your laptop.

Does anything at all happen? Does the screen light up a bit? Does a fan start whirring?

Try taking the battery out then plug it into the mains.
