You may have the picture routed to an external monitor, most laptops have a key which combined with the "Fn" key will switch the display back and forth between the LCD and the external port.

If there isn't even any light coming from the display then you may need to reseat the LCD cable where it connects to the motherboard, or you may have a faulty backlight. If this is the case then you should still be able to get a picture from an external monitor and run the diagnostic tools that come with your laptop.

If your laptop is on and you get no display from either the LCD or the external monitor even after switching the display output back and forth then your laptop is not completing POST, and you need to check the error codes in the user manual.
