Well, it seems you've proved that the laptop itself is fine - you've
just got a defective screen. It is possible to buy a brand new,
original equipment, screen for your HP G7. Cost is about $70 - $100. I
found a bunch on Amazon and Ebay. To be honest I've never replaced a
laptop screen, but I imagine it is fairly simple. Search YouTube for
instructions before you buy one so you'll know what to expect.

hey donk, it appears to be a back light issue, it will boot up i can
hear it booking, once it is booted, i can take a flash light and shine
it on the back of the led, and see the windows desk top, all the leds
light up like they should. and yes i can enter the bios.

Do you see led's on the keyboard lit up? Do you hear sounds as if the
laptop is booting - but you can't see anything on the screen?
When you say you tried 2 different "screens" I'm assuming you mean
external monitors? When you try an external monitor be sure to press
Fn + F4 to switch the display to the external monitor.
Can you see anything on your screen at all when you boot? Try quickly
tapping F10 right after you press the power button to see if you can
enter BIOS setup.
If the screen is totally black during boot, and an external monitor
doesn't work, but you hear the pc booting up... there's not much you
can do. It is probably a failed video chip on the motherboard.
