I have a t60p and when i turn it on it lights up, i can hear it make sound, but the screen stays black? i can still lighten n darken the screen, using the keypad fn function but nothing displays, has any one come across this? it worked just the other day, maybe i disconnected some thing when cleaning the fan? but im not sure. does any one know what would cause the laptop to work but never show any picture??

any help would be great!! thank you

Can you see a display if you connect an external monitor?

Sounds like the GPU has gone kaput and you need a replacement. Hopefully your motherboard can be replaced under warranty.

No, the gpu is soldered into the system board and swapping out the motherboard is the only option to replace it.
