Title:

Power light lit but black screen

Text:

My HP laptop stopped working today. When turned on the power light is lit, but the screen is black. The Caps Lock key light flashes in the following sequence - 5 long and 3 short flashes.  HP website shows a possible system board issue.  There is nothing displayed when connecting a secondary monitor. Any ideas on how to fix?

Device:

HP Pavilion 15-au123cl
