The screen is completely dark but there are no beeps, either? If your disk were dead, I would expect to see that error displayed on the screen.

Can you check with a bright light or flashlight to see whether there is something being displayed on the screen (but possibly not visible because of the lack of backlighting)?

Can you remove the memory module(s) and try starting? This should definitely give you beeps -- if it does not, then it's not even getting as far as the memory check.

At the bottom of your X31, there is a cover behind which you will find the memory modules (cards/sticks) for the system. Without these, the system will not run -- it will simply beep an error code when you turn it on.
