    First be sure you didn't simply toggle the screen switch with Fn-F5 so that it's trying to display on an external monitor that isn't there.

    If that doesn't work, you should then try booting to an external monitor - if that works you know you have a hardware problem on the built in screen. A bad LCD inverter, for example, can work a few seconds or minutes then go dark.

    If it's not the display, but is failing to load the operating system, you may have the BIOS problem some have and should check here for ways to reflash the BIOS. Good luck.
