I have an HP G71-343US laptop. Yesterday I tried to boot it and it just came up with a black screen. I hear all the fans, cpu, hard drives running but there is nothing coming on the screen. What is there for me to do?

If it has a DVI or HDMI port, you could hook it up to a TV and see if it'll output a signal. Does the HDD light show activity like its loading windows? You could clear cmos and try resetting the ram.
