Found this laptop up in the attic and would like to get it working again.
When I plug it in the small LEDs come on saying its getting power but the screen doesn't do anything.
I'm not that great with fixing pc's but have 'basic' knowledge

If it turns on when you try to start it but you dont get anything on the screen, its probably something wrong with the screen or screen cable.

If it doesnt turn on its probably something with the motherboard

I'll open it up and see if I cant find any broken cables

opening is definitely required. Check cables to screen and see if the board appears to be working when switching it on, can you hear the fan, does the disk appear to be accessed?

does it have hdmi? test it with a monitor

The screen doesn't light up at all, I don't think it actually is turning on and the fan doesn't turn on but the vents do get warm

If so plug a monitor into it and see what happens.
