Just wanted to add to the thread here that I removed the CMOS chip from the laptop for 5 minutes as well, based on the advice from another forum:

I'm afraid I'm running out of great ideas short of getting a new laptop.
If anyone has any other things worth trying, I'd appreciate hearing them. Thanks!

Hello,
Its CMOS battery not CMOS chip. Did you tried connecting your laptop to an external monitor.
Connect your monitor and follow the instructions mentioned in the above link. Also check your
RAM. Even bad RAM will result you in display problem.
Good Luck.

Hey,
I did the check the RAM and it worked fine. I both used new working RAM in the broken laptop as well as tried the original RAM on a second laptop. It worked fine in the second laptop.
Also, I was finally able to try it on an external monitor but unfortunately there was no signal. And I did make sure to try the function keys as well for switching to monitor.
At this point, unless anyone has any clever ideas, I feel that it is probably the motherboard.
Thanks again.

Hi Sadlaptop... Just want to know what happend to this issue? My Dell inspiron 1545 as of now Sept 2015 are going on the same problem and stuation as you post your issue 5 years ago... As in same problem. Used it night and the following morning it didn't work. Power OK, fan, dvd, hard disk is running but no beep sound, no boot up and black screen.... All suggested troubleshoot from the forumn tried already but, nothing happend..Did you fix your laptop? If yes, can you share what did you do to your unit... Hope to hear from you...

In regards to the second, I have tried cleaning/reseating the RAM sticks both together and individually and in both slots when individually. After each change, I replicated the steps from the first solution. Sadly, this did not work either.
I will attempt to find a friend with an external monitor I could use this evening in order to test that theory.
Thanks again for the input.

Thanks for the tip. I'm afraid I was unable to see anything. I tried the light on both sides of the monitor and watching for about a minute after pressing the power button. I'll make sure to keep an eye on it though.
