how does the startup interface look when a vaio has just been recovered?

i have just recovered my vaio vgn-s4xp/b but and all good so far ... so i reboot my computer now after the recover and its booting up .. up to the windows loading screen . but the thing about my labtop is the screen is cracked and i use a lcd monitor to display whats on the labtop.... so after the windows loading screen the lcd monitor shuts off and doesnt turn bak on but the labtop is makin this sound like its doing a trial or something . but no matter ho long i wait the lcd would not turn bak on ... is there any advice someone can give me in how to solve this ? do i finally need a new labtop screen? and if so what specifically do i have to look for ?
