Lenovo T60 laptop screen won't turn on

My relatively new Lenovo T60 laptop will boot and initial screens (windows loading and lenovo screen) will show, but when the system finally loads the screen goes dark. I know that the computer is on (windows music plays) but the screen does not load. The laptop was fine yesterday. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps one of the cables got loose? (I had the laptop in my car in its case and perhaps it was jostled). Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Everyone---thanks for your help. VGA does work...but I'm not sure where to go from here? I suppose I reinstall drivers, correct?
Ok, I tried VGA which confirms RID's assessment that DRIVERS were corrupted (no surprise with a windows OS). Once I was able to see the screen (albeit huge and weird) I was able to do system restore (I was unable to trigger system restore using the F8 function...weird, I know). Now the laptop is on and I'll know what to do from now on if this happens...I look into fixing the drivers or reinstalling them if need be just in case. Thank you very much!
your welcome
