my buddy has a laptop that when powered on it starts up and the fans spin and lights come on but it just sits there like that, nothing shows up on the screen... any ideas?
 
Hello,

What laptop does he have, and how old is it?

If he hasn't already, the first step would be to try resetting the BIOS.

The second step to try would be to remove all RAM modules and install a new or borrowed one and see if the system is able to boot.

If the problem still persists, then it's possible that the BIOS is corrupt, or other hardware is faulty (such as the motherboard or CPU) which would be difficult to diagnose and repair.
