You don't own a TV with a HDMI input then that you can connect the laptop to?
Have you checked the screen using a torch held at an angle close to the screen to see if you can detect any images at all after the laptop has started, e.g. the windows desktop.
If you can perhaps you have a backlight problem.
This could be caused by several reasons.
1. Faulty lid switch (this controls the backlighting either directly - in series with backlight power supply or activates software controls)
2. Faulty backlight power feed cable -either a separate cable from the mobo to the screen or part of the video cable or faulty connections either on the mobo or screen. Press around the hinge area and see if you can make it happen. This is where the cable passes through from the mobo to the screen.
