Hello, I see you are looking for technical assistance. If you need our help, you can start a private message with us and we will be happy to assist you.
The first thing to try is a shutdown, power off and removing the base cover. Disconnect the battery from the system board, hold the power button for 30 sec -- then reconnect the battery and try powering up again.
If you still get a black screen, hold the D key through the next powerup. Can you get the screen self-test to run (use a very bright flashlight to see if you can detect even a faint image)? If you can get the screen self-test to run but the monitor remains black, either the backlight in the screen has failed (meaning replacement screen time) or the power circuit to the backlight has failed (meaning a replacement mainboard is required).
If the screen is totally dead, you can try connecting an external monitor if you have one to see if there's an image on that as well.
