Does the screen light up if you open the screen just a little from the closed position ? Sometimes the signal cable gets frayed, and depending on how open it is, the screen wont display anything. If thats not, then you probably have the BGA issue that is common to these old units. They requires a new motherboard or a reflow ($50 ?).
