Burning orange glow inside the corner of the laptop; screen is black
One night, played a long session of GTAV for 12 hours. My laptop gets pretty warm during playing. When I was feeling drowsy, I closed the lid of laptop, but forgot to close the game. I reopened the lid, to see a glowing orange glow and a burning smell from that region in the corner of my laptop in the crack between the keyboard and laptop monitor. I opened up my laptop but saw nothing that looked burned, or blackened.
I tried the main 3 methods already on YouTube that deal with the black screen:
- The discharging method didn’t fix the black screen.
- The ram stick method didn’t fix the black screen. (However, 3 weeks ago, I did install another 8GB of DRAM)
- Using the HDMI cable, the display works with the external monitor. I tried unplugging the HDMI cable to see if it’s a backlight inverter issue. The back light doesn’t appear to be the problem, because I don’t see any faint image on the screen with a flashlight.
I researched at it seems like a black screen could be a variet of issues: motherboard, GPU, backlight inverter, the screen itself, and I believed I narrowed it down to either the screen itself, but am scared to spend $74 for a LCD screen replacement and installing it improperly, when I could by another laptop.
Some more background:
I had small purple streaks/flickering on my screen, when I adjusted the angle of my laptop, for about 6 months, around January 2017. So I am not surpeised that the mnitor suddenly "burned out," but in amore dramatic way than I expected. I have had this laptop since 2014 (for 3 years).
Make and Model: ASUS N550JK
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i&-4700HQ CPU @ 2.40GHz
Installed memory (RAM): 16.0 GB

So the laptop turns on? You can hear fans spin up? If you plug it into an external monitor, you can confirm that it still works.

Hi, Connor! Thanks for the prompt reply. Yes. My laptop turns on, and the fans spin, and the LED signalling that the hard drive is operating is on as well. When I plug it into an external monitor, it works.
