    The screen won't turn on but Windows 7 loads normally. The startup sounds occur as well just the screen and backlighting are not working. Once windows loads you can detect its shared folders on the network and access and change them as well so the computer still boots.

    Also I have not done any video driver updates within the last 2 months or any BIOS updates.

    Any suggestions to the problem and a solution?

    Thanks

    You video card is most likely dead. Go to the Compal forum and read about the ifl90 video problems. You can bake the card or replace it with an ati.
