I have the same problem with an EliteBook 8440p (base model) with an i5 and the Intel GMA HD. Black screen but the backlight is still on. I was successfully able to install Kubuntu with text mode but the problem occurs when I try to boot Kubuntu. Recovery mode returns the same result, black screen. This is a VERY frustrating problem. I cannot believe that it has not been fixed yet.
4+ months and no fix???
If I knew enough about Linux I would help but I don't.
