Ive got a sony vaio grx 315mp, i turned my notebook on and the screen never came on. the power light comes on and it makes the right noises as if its loading in the background, but the screen is completely black. any ideas? cheers jay
either the back lite is burned out, or the ribbon connector to the motherboard has come loose. shine a bright lite at the screen, see if anything shows with that lite. if you see anything on the screen, then , the lite is burned out, or cable is loose
Or you accidently have set the video to output to an external monitor only.
I'm not sure of the key sequence for the VAIO, but for most laptops it's the function key + F7. Try pressing those two keys, usually you have the option to toggle betweeen the LCD display, an external monitor, and both.
