HP ENVY laptop 17t-cw100 black screen

[BlackScreenEnvy]

Laptop and External monitors boot up black screens.  I can hear the fan running.  I am sometimes able to use FN F4 to light up the keyboard.  Maybe someone is still home?  I've had this laptop less than 3 months....it would be upsetting if it is totally inoperable now.
