    My Sony Vaio VGN-FS742/W / pcg7d2l turns on when I press the power button but the screen remains blank and black it shows no signs of power to the screen, no flicker nothing at all. I connected the laptop to an external lcd monitor to see if maybe the laptop screen was busted and nothing i connected to the external monitor and it doesnt work and i pressed the function + lcd hot key and it still doesnt work. I tried booting with a windows xp cd and still nothing i tried everything. what could be the problem? when i turn on the laptop it doesnt make much noise and I cant feel the fan but i do hear the hard drive when i put my ear to it. anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?!??!
