That will tell you pretty definitively if the laptop is having a screen issue or if a setting has gone haywire.

Let us know what happens.

yes...i have tried plugging in an external monitor....but the problem persists....another strange thing is...only if i take the power cable out...and then plug it back in....before restarting...will the screen appear....if i restart...without taking the power cable out...and reinserting it.....the screen wouldnt appear...the computer would still load up properly....

plugs in near the ribbon cable link which feeds the monitor, it sounds as though your ribbon cable is broken/faulted.

What model of laptop is it, Aasim?
