The machine powers but nothing else happens

The machine was working fine for Minecraft until a few days ago when suddenly the screen went black.

Nothing can be used: no safe mode, no target mode, no memory reset...

When I press the power button I hear the machine powering but nothing else happens. The screen stays black. I need a long press to blindly turn it off.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Likely that either the display has died, or the video card. I would suggest hooking the machine up to an external monitor to see if you get video. If you do, likely it's the display. If you don't, then that would point to the video card. I've been replacing more and more of the displays as of late for customers, so my gut says it's probably that.

Thank you for the hint. I'll definitely check that. I also have a 27" that's in a similar state but there it looks like it's the HD that's dead. I'll fix that one first and will use it as an external monitor on the 24" to check your idea (I think it's one of those that can be used as an external monitor)...
