There is also a possibility that somehow the screen resolution has been
set to something that is way outside of its capabilities.
If you can get any picture on any monitor, then set everything back to
640x480 256 colours.
Then work your way up from there.
I've also had a faulty laptop screen. Closing the lid and opening it
again a few times restored the screen. Not a long term solution but at
least you may can get it going again for a short time if you need to do
anything.

ps: Is there a small screen (about 11.6 inch display) low cost (under

I just bought a chromebook for $249 plus about $70 in reshipping.
The battery lasts over 6 hours, you can hack it or install ubuntu. It boots
in seconds.
The only thing that annoys me is I haven't worked out the key combo to
switch tabs.
It's ctrl pg up and pg dn normally, but it has no pg up or pg dn keys,
that's alt arrow.
