Re: [crt/lcd] Screen laptop won't turn on

If you look really closly at the screen, can you see a faint image of what's supposed to be there?

Try moving a large window arround as a refernce or pointing a LED flashlight close to the screen

...if you can see an image, then it's probably just the backlight driver board that failed (the backlight is a thin tiny florecent light bulb that often doesn't go bad, but the high-voltage driver circuit does). It's not always easy to replace, but often cheaper than a whole new LCD panel.
