My laptop screen isn't coming on, the fan is running and the green lights are on.

It's nothing fancy a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo.

Is there anything I can try at home?

you haven't switched it to use an external monitor not the laptop screen itself have you?

What would I have done to do that?

EDIT I pulled out all the cables, counted to ten, put them back and it has fired up again. Thanks

Fn+F3 together on the dead Amilo Pro under my desk.

Edit: see it's sorted now.

schoolboy error on my part

always ask "have you switched it off and back on again?" before anything else...

...in which case, do you have access to a secondary screen - plug it into that and switch the output to it to check if the lappy screen is the problem or not?
