    If you have access to an external monitor, hook it up to see if anything shows up on the external.

    If it does show on external monitor, there would be a problem with the display.

    If you call tech support, they will have you do the following to confirm whether it is display or not.

    -Disconnect everything from laptop and remove battery and disconnect AC power
    -Press and hold the power button down for 40 secs
    -Now put back AC power and see if anything will show up on display

    If not, at this point, tech support would have you get the laptop serviced.

    You will probably be able to use external display in meantime.
