Well for starters what if anything has been done to this NB?

In reply to monitor is blank when i turn on my laptop.
Also plug in an external Monitor and see if it works now.
If it does and there was nothing done to the NB you can start off with the superstition that the NB’s Monitor has died and needs replacing/Repairing depending on what Model the NB actually is.
If the monitor has failed the most obvious things are the Lead between the M’Board and Monitor has broken from constantly opening & closing the NB. The Inverter has failed and needs replacing or the Back Light has failed and needs replacing.
Then the other things to look at are that the Control Board for the Monitor has failed and so on.
Also if the Video driver was removed or the default Display adapted was changed under the OS you’ll need to tell us what has happened here what OS is in use and so on so that we can help you.

try what col said first. also, you might try pressing a function key to change the video output mode (dual monitor, external monitor, in-built screen, etc)
if everything is not working, check your warranty!

In reply to try
Please try the following.
Connect working monitor to the laptop VGA port or DVI port.
Make sure External monitor is on.
Turn on the laptop , make sure laptop is running means making a noise(Means you should feel like computer hard drive is spinning.
Please press fn and F8 (crt/lcd)written key on the laptop, which switch display from laptop to monitor.
Wait after a minute , until it loads.
If you see desktop icon then LCD NEED to be changed. If you do not see icons then Motherboard is gone. -

Here it depends on the Make & Model of the NB
by oh smeg · about 14 years, 8 months ago
In reply to details of my notebook
Some have separate Video Cards but with most the Video Card is part of the M’Board and if it has failed you need to replace the M’Board.
Till we know the Make & Model of the NB it’s impossible to say what is inside it and how to go about repairing it. 😉

You can get a Service Manual for this Model Here

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/xpsm1210/en/SM/sysboard.htm
Though you should first check with Dell’s Web Site and see if this is covered by any form of Warranty. It’s possible that there may have been a recall for a faulty part that needs replacing. You’ll need to check with Dell in your Country for this.
Also in the future use a Cool Pad like the one shown here
http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product.php?id=NzI=
To prevent heat destroying internal components again. These Cool Pads will also stop dust and other junk being sucked into the unit and clogging the cooling passages in it.
