You can't. You have to clear the read-only attribute first.

Update the sound and graphics drivers.

Connect to the Internet and run Windows update.

It is not totally blank, meaning that you can see some images if you look closer?

If so, it sounds like an issue with the inverter or backlight lamp -- faulty device or broken connection.

ICT is vast. Nobody expects you to know it all. Stick to your major area of specialization and do it well.

You might have good knowledge in other areas as well.

If you need the services of a core coder, you can always partner with or employ one.

I'm not much of a coder but I know hardware and networking.

What error message are you getting?

You're sure that the system boots into Windows? The LEDs light up normally? The screen is totally blank and not actually dimmed?

If yes, then the display monitor might be faulty or the wiring broken. The easiest way to find out is to connect the laptop to an external monitor.

Take the laptop to a computer repair shop and ask them to check the LCD wires.
