The "boot to black screen" issue as you describe it is most likely a hardware issue. The prognosis is not good.
The exact text of the BIOS screen message may be helpful.
If you attach your laptop to an external monitor or HDTV, do you see video on startup?

I can only hope for your sake this unit is still under warranty somehow, because this sounds like a classic case of bad caps, and that means motherboard replacement.

If you're good with a soldering iron, or know someone who is, you could try taking one of the caps down to a Radio Shack to get a few replacements for a cheap fix. However, there's a not insignificant chance of doing even more damage to the unit this way if you're not careful.
