If you connect a monitor to the MBP and the monitor is also black, the GPU is the prime suspect. If the monitor shows a good image, then the display or the display connection is the problem. A definitive answer can be obtained at an Apple store genius bar for FREE.
If your MBP is a 15" or 17" model, this program may be applicable:

If that is the case, have the MBP tested at an Apple store genius bar.
