The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
Have you tried hooking it to an external monitor? If it works, then it's likely the screen. If not, perhaps a driver or hardware issue. Booting via Linux will tell you whether the software or hardware is the culprit. My guess would be the screen has gone bad. Re-seatng the LCD cable doesn't cost anything.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
