Do you see the backlight in the laptop? As in, is the screen projecting black but is otherwise turned on? Or is it completely black as though unpowered? If the screen appears unpowered, try flashing a light source onto the black screen and see if you can see anything. If you do see something, then that means the backlight has died. If the screen appears to be projecting black, then you may have a problem with your LVDS cable. Have it serviced.
