I have an HP laptop, vista OS. it was working fine until yesterday. when i start it up, everything comes on, BUT the monitor screen. I shut it down, unplugged/replugged the power source, let it sit in off mode for a while, and nothing. anyone else had this problem - and found a solution?

Connect and external display, see if it works.

If yes then you will need to replace the laptop screen.
If no then there is something else wrong; video chip, processor, memory, power supply or system board.

thanks for your prompt reply. I literally just 15 minutes ago fixed the problem. I removed the battery and reconnected the power cord. Now it works fine, without the battery. Not sure why that would have been the problem, but it worked.

That's good news, glad it's okay.
