Why is my screen black after installing a new HD and RAM

I recently followed the steps for installing a new hard drive (the recommended 500gb drive) as well as new RAM (crucial 8gb, 2-4gb). When trying to power up afterwards, I hear my computer turn and it accepted my install disc but the screen remains black. I did unplug the battery during repair but plugged it back in. I did not notice anything break or go wrong while replacing. I appreciate any thoughts.

Soluzione Prescelta

Double check the seating of the RAM and the HD cable. 99.044% of the time a reassembly issue is a connector (connection) that turned out to be lose or incomplete. Of course the RAM is 1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM (PC3-8500).

Have you tried to boot from a different volume? If the HD is not formatted, and there's no OS on it you should at least get a grey screen - to install the OS and format the drive you will need a boot volume of some sort.

Connect an external monitor - if that works normally you have an onboard video chain problem (at lest the CPU/GPU logic board are OK)

If this answer is acceptable please remember to return and mark it accepted.

Thanks for the quick response, I'm not going to have time to mess with it again for a few days but I'll give those things a try.
