I did research on this topic, black screen and this is what I found. Turn on your computer and your monitor and wait for them to boot up fully. Then get the brightest flashlight you own and point it at the monitor on a steep angle (so the glare doesn't hit you directly). If you can see an image (such as your desktop). then the LCD display still works; it's the backlight which is broken, so take your computer to Apple Genius Bar and make a appointment to fix your computer black screen problem and replace the backlight which is broken.
