Model is Toshiba Satellite S55t-B233. The laptop turns on and stays on, but the LCD never turns on (and stays on) and it doesn’t put display out to an external monitor via a working HDMI cable. I have tried replacing with working RAM. I have already tried 2 different motherboards and unplugging everything else, but there isn’t any change. I did some testing with a multimeter just to be sure and enough power is getting to the motherboard. Thanks in advance.

Hi Erik, I think it may be a RAM issue, the laptop might have a limit on the amount you can have, if you added more it might not work.
