I have an unusual problem with my laptop.Dell Inspiron m5010 with the 3 core phenom and ati radeon mobility 42xx.

When I power it up the display lights up but shows nothing on the screen.It boots into windows 7 but still doesn't show anything.I ran the display diagnostic and it flashes the colors rgb just fine.I've tried to connect an external monitor but it does the same thing.No beep codes,no dell splash screen no windows but the LCD is lit up.Any clue?I'm pretty good with PC's and am the goto guy for all my friends and family but I have never seen this happen.
