Try plugging another monitor into the laptop to see if you can see anything. If so, monitor on laptop sounds like iit needs to be replaced.

If you can see your desktop on the lcd screen, but it is very dim, or you have to get a light to shine on it at just the right angle then only the backlight may need to be replaced.
