i have a hp pavilion dv5218nr and when i turn it on the fan runs and the lead lights come on but I have a blank screen. Can anyone help me???

Hello,

Try hooking up an external monitor and see if it works. Most HP laptops have a key sequence to switch to an external monitor. Usually <Fn> <F4> but could be different. Does it show hard drive activivty?
