Take it apart and check - Slims are easier to take apart without destroying the warranty stickers than fats - Very good chance that someone pieced together a pile of parts if you bought it on ebay...I've been screwed my fair share of times on that one...

Once you've got the faceplate off, hold it at around a 45 degree angle under a bright light - If you can see an image, your backlight (more likely the backlight fuse) is shot. If you can't, reseat the cables and try again...If there's still nothing, it's more than likely your screen - I must add, though, that one of my fats tricked me like this - Turned out that the screen was fine and the it was the screen driver IC that was shot, though this is a pretty rare occurrance.
