Is the laptop actually on (you can hear sounds inside it) but the display isn't or is there nothing on at all?

I have the same problem, my netbook will turn on, fans and everything but nothing will display on the monitor, it's backlight is on but completely blank, no messages or anything else at all. How can I fix this?

If the laptop is making internal sounds, and just the display isn't working, try this...

1. Turn the laptop off (not sleep or hibernate but off).
2. Connect an external monitor to the laptop.
3. Turn on the external monitor.
4. Turn on the laptop.

NOTE: You may have to press an "external monitor" button. Could be the f4 button or a button with two monitors on it, for the external monitor to work.

If you can see fine on the external monitor, then your attached display, or the ribbon cable that connects it, are your problem.

If you can't see on the external monitor at all, or the problem occurs on the external monitor as well, then it is probably the graphics card/GPU that is the problem, which may require the motherboard be replaced.

Thank you, I will try that.
