Compaq Presario V5000 Laptop
Laptop display went black after inserting a USB cable made for iPod. After manually shutting down the computer and allowing it to set for 5 minutes, several beeps sounded at power up. Still no display, only indication is power button illumination. The iPod cable was inserted with no connectivity to the iPod, then immediantly no display. This cable was used previously for several weeks prior, I'm thinking this could be coincedental.
Most likely the usb port has a bent prong inside the port on your computer . Take some tweezers and bend any prongs that you see that you see that may be shorting out. Take battery out and unplug first .
Count the beeps on startup, and makes sure that you count if any are long beeps and short beeps as these are bootup error codes.
