Well, i had been worrying lately because my laptop will turn on but theres no pic or anything on the screen i thought the lcd was messed up but i opened up the laptop today and there is no ram card thing. could that be why theres no image on the screen?

I wouldnt think that this would stop the display from showing anything except a nasty little message on the screen signaling you have no RAM, What type of laptop is it tho and i can see if this is correct.

How the hell do you loose pieces of RAM that are in your computer? :)

it was given to me, i didnt realize the ram wasnt there until i opened it today. its a gateway 3255GZ. i was told it might be because there was no ram. someone let me borrow a ram chip today, im just awaiting on a charger to find out it that really is the deal here

likely the motherboard has at least a basic amount of RAM.
As others have suggested try the external monitor.

These "beep" patterns can tell you diagnostic information.

Of course, hooking up an external monitor would be the first thing I would try, but that was already mentioned. :)
