Default Black screen- Presario 12XL300B

Whenever I turn on my computer, I can here the hard drive running but
the LCD stays black. I ordered a new hard drive because I wanted
more space anyway and thought it might help the problem. It didn't.
What's up with my computer? Thanks.

First, try hooking up an external monitor. No video there? Probably a bad
motherboard.

A blank screen can be many things
Hooking up to the external monitor is a great reply
If that passes it is most likely the back light
The back light is the culprit most of the times
or the power inverter for the light.
