Can you hook the computer up to an external monitor? If you have a desktop monitor that you can hook it too it could help determine if the LCD panel has failed.

When you turn on the computer, if you can see the harddrive light flickering/blinking then the computer is going thru the motions to boot up and it is just a visual issue. Purhaps your video card has failed. I know that HP / Compaq has had problems in the past with the Nvidia GPU seperating from the motherboard when they get too hot and the screen will go blank.

Try to hook to a external monitor and let me know your prognosis.

This could be many problems, first try connnecting to an external display if it works your inverter or monitor needs repaced. make sure your memory is seated properly, if you have two sticks take one out and reboot, then replace it and take the other one out and try that. if no luck change out the cmos battery, can you hear fan and see any hard drive activity. if this was hepful please vote thank you.

    I have he same problem. I hear the hard drive spinning up, but the screen stays blank. This is on battery only. Apparently my AC adapter has failed. What I don't see when I start it are th epower indicator light or drive light blinking.

My hp laptop dv6305us screen is blank power light is on but screen is totally blank.

The DV6000 series of notebooks are known to have problematic motherboards. Try the below options:

1) Hold the power button down for 5 second and the machine should shutdown. Then power on again.

or

2) Flip the laptop over and switch the "lock" switch to "unlock". Then flip the release button to remove the battery for a few seconds. Put the battery back in and try to power the laptop on.

or

3) Power on the notebook like normal. Watch the Hard Drive activity light (the one that looks like 3 stacked plates), if the screen is blank and the activity light is solid or flashing, you know that the LCD screen is bad and needs to be replaced. If that light is not flashing then the problem is your motherboard and it needs to be replaced. Call HP and ask them if your model was part of a DV6000 series recall, if so your repair costs might be covered.
