Not enough info. What operating system? What color is the blank screen? If it is black, replace the battery inside on the main board. About an inch long.
If it is a gray screen, disconnect everything from the computer except power cord, monitor, Apple keyboard and mouse (bare minimum). Restart. Same? Boot to an install CD. Still no picture? Can you hear any drive searching sounds when you hold the C key? If yes, wierd video issue. If no, are you sure it is an Apple keyboard?
If it does boot to the install CD, open the disk utility and check what's up with the hard drive. It may have corruption. If it tests OK, and you haven't updated the operating system, reinstall the OS. Don't reinstall over an updated OS. You should install a fresh system instead.
