Hello,

I have a Compaq laptop. When I turned on the power, I can hear the computer starting, but the screen remains black. I tried the f-keys; it didn't work. I tried removing the battery, holding down the power button for one minute and then plugged it in and restarting; that didn't work. I also tried hooking up an external monitor, that too didn't work. Is my computer done?

Thank you.
