    Could just be the backlight gone, can you see the light coming on at all?
    What would you do if your server was stolen or failed beyond repair?

    Get him to look closely at the screen, and ask him if he is able to see a very faint image. If it is there, its a common problem, either the backlight or the inverter probably have gone. For an old lappy its probably not worth the hassle or the expense to fix. But cheap 2nd hand lcd or inverter may be found on sites like ebay.

    is the picture completely gone, if so possible cable or LCD, when you start it up do you get the faintest picture in the background, like 2% picture brightness, if so it's the invertor.

    Don't forget that there is a lid switch that turns off the backlight when the lid is closed. It's often near the hinge area and if you flick it a few times with your finger you may see the screen come back on. It could be a magnetic switch.
