Black screen, need help please.

I have a Inspiron 1000 notebook and my screen goes black  when I try to adjust it. I have to manually cut it off and turn it back on. When I get it turned back on, and if I touch the screen again, it goes black again. I had the computer sitting on the coffee table and the dog knocked it off. I have rebooted it a couple time so its like out of the box. Everything else seems to work fine except for the screen going black. What do you think the problem could be? Thanks for the help.

    It was knocked off the coffee table... logically it is probably something like a cable or connector loose.

    Thats what I was thinking but was not sure. I think the warranty has expired on it, would this cost alot to get fixed?

    Sorry I couldn't say what it would cost... I would fix it for free for my friends. Look on Dells site or in your manual for instructions on removing the keyboard, the video cable goes through one of the LCD Hinges and connects to the video adapter under the keyboard. It should be easy to fix if that is all that is wrong.
