There could be good news here, or not so good news. Your motherboard could
have gone 'phut'. (Sorry, but it's possible). On the other hand, I find
with my LC475 that a blank screen, with the hard drive running can be a
symptom of a dead battery. I can't remember if the battery is soldered
onto the LCII main board or if it is in a battery clip. Either way, I
recommend you get a reputable person to check it out.
