Introduction

Before getting to work replacing the display assembly, it is important to make sure that the display assembly is the cause of the problem. A laptop screen will also be completely blank if there is a power failure causing the laptop to not turn on. To verify this is not the cause, try to listen for a whirring sound, meaning the hard drive is spinning. Also, check to see if any other lights on the laptop are lit. For more information on troubleshooting, this link provides a detailed guide:
