Hey XXXXXXXX,

What model of emachine computer do you have?

Also does any of the lights come on, on the computer?

If you shine a flashlight at the screen can you see anything at all?

Answer

XXXXXXXX,

This could honestly be a few things:

Laptop Display, Motherboard or just a lose wire where the hindge is, I would advise to contact Emachine if you have a Warranty. Otherwise I would take the computer to a local computer shop, if you need anymore help please ask, otherwise have a good night and god bless! Smile

yeah, but you would also need to have the testing equipment for testing the battery itself. Becasue if you have a good supply but faulty battery that could very well be your problem.
