    Connect it to an external monitor, first.
    If there's output, your GPU is fine and your next step should be checking the monitor cables.

    The clevo d9t/d900k have no videos flaws all the time.

    First,

    Reseat the video card (GPU)

    IF THAT DOESNT WORK THEN

    Reflow the video card with a heatgun for about two minutes, 1 min on LOW and 1 Min on HIGH, then let it cool for 45 mins.

    if that doesnt work either

    You will need to get high end motherboard repairs done. From what I know about these systems, the Intel Chipset can get a cold solder joint and refuse to display anything on the screen, or the gpu socket has a cold solder joint, or the GPU itself is screwed.
