I get that too, and when I turn it off and back on I get video back. Not sure why it does it but I can live with it.
Edit: Ouch you don't get the start up noises? Thats not good.

That would be my guess, but you should post it on hardforum when it's back up.

You wouldn't happen to have another CPU that you could test it with? Or know someone with a similar computer, at least same socket.

try to remove the battery and see if itll boot. you can also try to reseat the power cable on the motherboard. also, if you have switch on your power supply try flipping that fuker a few times on and off, and powering up a few times.
you can also remove all connection - video card and try to boot and see what happens. if you are able to boot, add 1 thing at a time booting until it stops and you could find your problem.
