Then the screen is broken.
Sometimes a small crack, not visible on the screen area can have this effect.
Replacing the screen is not difficult BUT - if you are ordering the part yourself get the LCD Screen with the backlight complete. Make sure you do not damage the board connector for the flexi cable.
Through a repairer is will cost £40 - £55, subject to repairer

hi,thanks for the info,but no its not bricked,as the sound is there,the console says on as it would if it was working ok,but no display

When you first switch the console on, does the green power light stay on for 30 secs. & then go out?
If so the console is bricked.
This is a software problem relating to the BIOS Firmware and is recoverable. Specialist software is needed.
