Press FN-F8 to see if you can get the internal screen on.

Nothing happened. Still acting the same :(

Unplug the system and remove the battery.  Hold the power button for 30 seconds.   Try powering up again - is there any image, even a faint one, on the monitor?

It could have, if you did so without shutting the power down on the notebook.  

Try an external monitor (NOT a TV) with the VGA or DVI connection.  Does that show an image?

would you know off hand if the card is part of the mother board or is it separate. Like would it be possible to replace

no image at all.  when i turn it on the screen goes from black to greyish black.

No -- there's no way to do that.  If the video circuitry is fried, you need a replacement mainboard.  Before going that route, which will be reasonably expensive, try an external monitor.

It is part of the mainboard - not separately replaceable.

could i install a new card as in upgrade, and leave the other dormant there

ok i'll try that. thanks for your help

yes i am able to view the laptop on the external monitor. does that mean the screen is broke. i am still un able to vies anything through the hdmi port.

It could be many things - unless you have a pro look at it, it's probably time to start swapping parts (start with the inverter).

Hi again. thanks for your previous help EJN63 After finally getting my ringer into gear I ordered an inverter and replaced it. This was not too difficult. Though the problem has not been solved. What can I do next if anything at all. Again thankyou very much for your help.
