Lets start at the beginning. You ran the restore disks on the laptop is seems. Did that run fine? What happens when you boot off the disk after you turn on the PC? Does it go to the BIOS startup window? No signal means there is no video coming to the monitor, but I have never seen that message come up on a laptop display, if those get no video they just show nothing.
