Answer:

BIOS SPI Flash ki activity aur firmware compatibility verify karo.
RAM ko known-good module se cross-test karo aur memory slot inspect karo.
CPU aur PCH ke reset aur clock signals schematic ke mutabiq verify karo.
Internal LCD aur external monitor dono par display test karo.
LCD cable, eDP/LVDS connector aur backlight enable signals inspect karo.
Agar dedicated GPU model hai to GPU initialization aur related VRM verify karo.
POST progress ko Debug LEDs, beep codes ya POST card (agar platform support kare) se analyze karo.
BIOS settings ko reset karke CMOS clear test perform karo.
Schematic ke mutabiq display power rails (LCD_VDD, BL_EN, BL_PWM waghera) verify karo.
Agar tamam power rails, clocks, reset signals aur firmware normal hon, to CPU, PCH, GPU ya display interface ke advanced hardware diagnosis ki taraf move karo.
