See if there is an image on an external display.  If there is, it's the panel, not the video circuitry.

 

If the external monitor is similarly faulty, you'll need to replace the mainboard - everything in this model - video, CPU, etc., is soldered to the system board.

Have already checked the external display, no use.

is there any way i can avoid changing the complete board. it will cost me a fortune in pakistan.

Did you press Fn-F8 to switch to external monitor?
