Do you hear the hard drive spining and any noises from the speakers? If so you have a display problem... it could be set for external display so if you have a monitor or tv you can hook it to try and see if you get display that way. LMK... TKS!

WizTry this solution :
1. Disconnect the AC Adapter.
2. Remove the Battery.
Note : Please see that there are no external devices or cables connected to the Notebook.
3. Hold the Power button down for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
4. Reconnect the AC adapter and do NOT connect the battery now.
5. Turn on the Notebook.
Additionally, try removing and reinserting the RAM sticks by following the instructions listed in page number 119 of 266 :

If the issue repeats, try connecting the Notebook to any Desktop Monitor and press the FN and F4 key so that the display will transfer to the desktop monitor connected.
If there is no display on the LCD of the Notebook or on the Desktop monitor connected, issue can either be with the Graphic Card of the Notebook or Motherboard itself.
I am sure these instructions are helpful.
