Default What are basic diagnostic tests on a Windows laptop that won'tboot?

I take it it's not under warranty?

The warranty died long ago.

Even with the hard disk toast, I'd expect to see the display come alive.

Nothing shows up on the display.
Here is a picture with the power on and the fan running:

Has the power brick given up?

I don't know. I will try to get test leads into those tiny holes.
It appears to be charging the battery and the battery appears to
work, so, I've tested all three cases:
a) With just the battery
b) With the AC power and the battery in
c) With the AC power and the battery out
