Labtop 9100

What causes a labtop screen to go dark all the sudden?  I can hear video if I put a video cd or movie but I cant see a thing.  The monitor (screen) is all dark.
what could be the problem? thanks

Most likely, the backlight has failed. Attach an external monitor. If it works, and you're in warranty, call Dell for a panel replacement.

If you're out of warranty, contact an LCD repair specialist - replacing the backlight at $100-150 is a fraction of the cost of a replacement screen.
