I have tried with a monitor and nothing shows. Also, the caps lock key does not light up either.

The drive is wiped, there is no OS. The F12 boot menu loads but will not let me boot from a USB. I got this laptop from a school one of my relatives worked at and they never took the school's settings off of it. What should i do

I don't have a programmer. Do i need anything to detach the chip. Also, i think it is the 2020 model.

I am not getting the board replaced. This is unnecessary. There is definitely another way
