    Hello, I had a dell XPS M1530 for about a year now.

    Last night I accidently hit Hibernate in the start menu when I wanted to shut the laptop down.

    Now whenever I turn on the laptop, the lights turn on, the fans turn on..everything sounds normal but then after about two seconds it stops and just idles. During that process I have a completely blank screen. I cannot even get the DELL screen to show up. It just sits there with the fans running on low and idles. All of the LED lights work at the top when I press them, but when i press the Eject button there is no sound, usually the CD tray makes a sound...

    I have tried turning it off and on several times and the same thing still happens. I have tried taking the battery out and putting it back in.. And nothing seems to do anything.. I have absolutely no display when i turn my laptop on.

    If anyone has any suggestions please help. I cannot install or do anything well because I have no screen.. And it doesnt seem like the backlight or screen lights died because it was working fine until i accidently hit hibernate when I shut down...
