you have an external monitor that you can plug into ?
try the FN key plus the monitor button to see if it's pushing video out.

This happened to me when I added KDE desktop to my Gnome desktop. I had to completely remove the KDE before the problem was resolved. If you have KDE installed, try removing it.
