My Toshiba satellite laptop boots with a blank screen.
I upgraded from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, to Ubuntu 14.10. When I start my computer, I have a blank screen. If I plugin my laptop to my TV, at first only the TV turns on, but the login screen shows up on my TV, and when I log in my laptop's screen is turned on, and show Unity as expected. However, If I just let Ubuntu boot without any keys pressed, or if I press shift until the GRUB menu shows up and then select the "Ubuntu" option, I get a blank screen. In all situations where I get a blank screen, I hear the startup sound (i.e. I hear drums playing) which indicates that X has started up, just my notebooks screen isn't turned on for some reason. I never had this problem with all versions of Ubuntu, including non-LTS versions, from the earliest one I tried i.e. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
Relevant details (that I can think of) are given below:
