Hello,

I'm trying to find out what's wrong with teh screen. The laptop boots up but the screen is black. I've removed the screen cover and need to know where to go from there.

if the screen is black it could be several things,

get a flashlight and shine it on the display while the computer is working, can you make anything out? If yes, that means your backlight broke, and you will need to replace it.

If you cannot see anything even with flashlight, then it might be your video card or LCD connection to video card that has gone kaput. To verify, try connecting an external monitor. If external monitor works fine, it's probably the laptop LCD connection to videocard that's bad. If external monitor doesn't work either, most likely your video card has gone bad.
