I have a old Hitachi notebook that has no display.
I am assuming the ram or Cmos need to be looked at. Can anyone please tell me where I should start. I have no idea where to look for cmos reset on this system.

Does the computer have no power at all or boot up and you can't see the display? The second issue would more than likely mean that the display's power or backlight has gone out. The problem is usually caused by a bad invertor board which provides the high voltage for the LCD screen. If you turn off the lights you may be able to see a faint image on the screen. If that's the case the laptop will need to be serviced. If you can find a refurbed screen for a decent price it may be worth fixing butusually replacing the screen is expensive.

Thanks for the answer RCOM, I checked the system in the dark and sure enough you can faintly see the screen. The system powers up. Hope to communicate with you in the future.
