Check the connection to computer....and check the power cable. Some monitors have a power cable that you can swap out. try another one.

oh laptop, i see.
in that case, if i were you i would take it apart and make sure the monitor is plugged into the motherboard.
you are going to need: a bunch of tiny screwdrivers, a sheet of paper where you will note how you took it apart, and
this dissassembly guide for the inspiron 1545 from dell.
Follow the instructions for installing a new monitor and note carefully how the display plugs into the mainboard. Good luck.
