Does it show anything at all before it goes black?
Does it produce any beeps?

[moerpheus]

no beeps.
sometimes it shows some stripes... it loads the system but the screen is not displaying, when it loads i can see the green light of windows vista but nothing else.

[Rik_]

Can you hook it up to an external monitor and see if that works?

[moerpheus]

i opened the case!

What was the problem then?

[moerpheus]

i think the problem was with the drivers, display driver was corrupted!..

[tyana]

I have the same problem now. How do you fix the display driver ?

Did you change the LCD and motherboard?

Thanks
