How to reformat my laptop since it was only a black screen

Why don't you try e-recovery. Press ALT -F10 while booting and follow the process.

If that does not work, use the recovery disks that hopefully you had created when you first used the computer.

If you turn your craptop on and you get only a black sceen then you probably got a acer/hp/dell/gateway/sony craptop and it's most likely dead

1) is the fan spinning?
2) do you have any beeps, blinking leds?
3) how old and what is the model of the lappy?

It's probably not under warranty anymore so you'll most likely have to spend 200-300 $ on a new motherboard (80% of the time the motherboard fried because of overheating)

So go to a local store and buy an Asus: much better laptop than any other brand

Good luck
