  • You haven't reduce the brightness to nothing by accident have you?

    On the Function keys you will see a "sun" and an up arrow, try holding that down with the FN key, just to be on the safe side

    Along similar lines, have you turned the screen off? Again, one of your function buttons will do this - equivalent to turning the monitor on your PC off.

    backlight
    memory needs resinking
    brightness so on


    Does it post at all ?
