Is my video card broken on my laptop?

Hi everyone, I was on my laptop the other day checking my email when the screen just went blank. There is still noise and the keyboard lights are still on so do y'all think that my video card is broken??|||It could actually be worse than that. It sounds like it might be your hard drive that failed on you. The video card doesn't have moving parts other than a fan. If you are hearing scratching sounds, it could be that your hard drive is messed up. It really depends on the sound you are hearing if its normal hard drive whirring then it probably is your video card. (Or it could even be the screen died.)
