Best Answer

It could be many things.

For example it could mean a bad motherboard or a lose cable that connects the screen to the motherboard or the screen itself is damaged.

You can narrow down your problem by connecting a desktop monitor cable to the VGA port now after you connect the monitor and you can see a picture it means that your motherboard is working and you may have a lose/damaged cable or a bad screen.

How do you close down hp laptop when screen is black and frozen?

If your laptopscreen does not show anything - not even a manufacturers/microsoft logo during start-up, it is likely your screen is broken. If your laptopscreen shows a very faint picture, it is likely the backlight of your laptop screen is broken / disconnected. If however, everything is normal, up to when you would normally see your login screen, but then your screen goes black, it is likely to be a setting on your computer, which you yourself can fix.
