Did you delete the Diagnostics partition when you reformatted the HDD? If you did not, we can put it through these tests and let me know the error codes, we'll get it fixed right away. Here are the instructions: http://support.dell.com/support/top...E3A15597A04AFBB02EE16785D39C5C&doclang=en&cs= If you did delete the patition, do you by chance have another monitor? If so, attach an external monitor to your laptop and power up. Do you have video? If so, it is your LCD. No Video, possibly your Video card, which for this model I believe is integrated. You will need another Motherboard. Go ahead and take care of this and reply back with the results.
