I have an Asus A42F that doesn't display anything after I power it on.

After pressing the the power button that power LED lights up and the HDD LED lights up and blinks for a bit. I tried connecting to an external monitor via VGA cable and when I press the menu button on the monitor it says "TEST GOOD".

What could be causing this? Is the motherboard dead?
