I wonder if this is the same issue I have with my desktop, in that the
nVidia driver can't detect the display, something to do with EDID
detection.

Assuming you're on wired network..

Get to the grub menu (hold down shift key immediately after power on
self test) and choose the recovery option then press enter to boot.

At the next menu choose to drop to a root prompt.

# Check driver is installed

apt-get install nvidia-current

# also pastebin your xorg log file

apt-get install pastebinit
pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Let us have the url of that log file.

# Perhaps you need to get nvidia to create a simple xorg.conf?

nvidia-xconfig

Try rebooting after that and see if you get a display?

Cheers,
Al.
