Susan,
the way to test this would be to hook the laptop up to a computer monitor or projector, if there is an image whilst hooked up to a PC monitor or projector then it’s probably the screen that is faulty. However if you still do not get a picture then it will be aboard fault. Screen repairs are around £130, board faults are £150.
There is power. You just can’t see anything on the screen.

you’d be looking at £150 for a laptop repair if there is no power, repair usually take about 3 weeks.

Hi there,
. I have a problem with my laptop. It’s a Sony Vaio vgn – z26gn. I upgraded it to windows 7 but had a problem with the drivers – the audio driver wasn’t working. So I put it back to Vista but the audio driver still wasn’t working. So I put on the recovery disk that the computer came with and when I did that the screen just went black and now the screen is showing nothing. I took it to be checked when I was in Greece (because I was there when it happened) but they were pretty useless and couldn’t tell me what was wrong. They thought maybe the graphics card wasn’t connected properly to the motherboard (or something like that).
Thanks for your time.
Susan
