Gah, been broke for ages and I want it fixed now

Okay here's the crack.

Make: IBM
Model: Thinkpad T22

I press the power button and the fans kick in. A few LED's light up and then only the power and battery led stay lit up and the screen shows nothing. The fans still go but nothing on the screen.

Any ideas to whats causing the problem?
 
After a bit of research, i think its the monitor. Are you sure there is nothing there. Try and see if there is anything. I think the back light has gone. Let me know.
 
Can u connect the laptop to a monitor by anychance such as a VGA or DVI output from the laptop which could be connected to a monitor.
 
What he said ^. If it works when you plug in an external monitor, you probably have a bad inverter. You can pick them up for cheap on ebay and places alike.
 
You specifically mentioned lights and hearing fans, but nothing about beeps. Does your system give it's normal beep during startup? Also, can you hear the hard drive spinning/loading windows? If you turn it on and leave it alone for 5 minutes, can you hear any difference in hard drive sound?

How long has this problem been happening? Was it gradual or all of a sudden? The most common problem with laptop screens failing is the wiring that connects the MoBo to the LCD inverter, so if you're going to take the screen apart, I'd start there (plus they're usually cheap to replace). From there, I'd next replace the inverter itself.
 
I agree with whats said here about trying a external monitor.Could be your ram is bad too.Take out your ram blow out any dust and reinsert them.
chances are they may have wiggled loose or if you bumped it they could have come loose a bit.
 
Sounds buggered, connect an external monitor. if you get nothing then at this point you need to try different ram. Ive come across this a lot and unless you have a multimeter your gonna have trouble pinpointing the problem providing its none of the above. Could be a leaking transistor or broken/dried circuit
