I had the same problem. As soon as you switch on the keyboard, the bootting signal would come and then the entire screen becomes blank. I went to the service center and they said two ICs have been damaged. These ICs cost around 150 - 250 $ depends on the country in which you live.

Before you go to the service center and spend $$
Try loading an earlier OS like 3.02 !!
You may then be able to do an upgrade...
if that fails, then you have a hardware issue.

BTW - I upgraded to 3.06, then downgraded to 3.02 as there was nothing I needed in it. I [literally] just sold my PA80 3 days ago, buthad it for 4 yrs and never had a single problem with it - 2+ yrs on OS 3.02 !!!
