First can you boot a Linux Live CD like Puppy and get a screen image displayed? If not it could be the backlight that went out on your laptop, a flashlight can sometimes reveal an image. Do you have an external monitor to use? You can always take out the hard drive and place it in an USB enclosure on a desktop or another laptop to recover your files with a Puppy Linux Live CD, or some other way you can mount and read them and move them somewhere safe until you decide on a course of action.

Subject: [LINUX_Newbies] No boot screen. How to restore?
I have an HP dv6000 laptop running Manjaro 8.9 with all the updates. On Wednesday, in the middle of Facebook the screen went blank. I suspected a power surge and rebooted. The screen was blank. No 'HP' boot logo. Nothing. Just an empty screen and endless reboots. A Google search suggested removing the RAM to dispel the excess voltage. It made no difference. If anyone has faced or solved this problem, I'd appreciate the help; there's 2 years of work on the drive and I need it back :( Michael
