My laptop crashed after playing a game and when rebooting, the keys and fans work but the screen is black, what could cause this?

I've already tested to see if the monitor is not working by connecting to a different one, same black screen.

Nice to meet you, *****!
Did you try to test the brightness?

Customer Replay

The brightness was all the way up, the computer wouldn't boot up

I see, is the laptop charged?

Customer Replay

Yes

Is it absolutely black now?

Customer Replay

Yes, it's on though

Got it.
Please press the Windows key + Ctrl + Shift + B. This command actually restarts your graphics driver—which might itself fix the black screen—but also emits a beep.

Customer Replay

I will try that thank you

You're welcome!
Please let me know once it's done.

Customer Replay

It worked, thank you very much
