Actually, I just realized that it's just the back light that turns and I can still see the content of what's on the screen, but it's very very very very very very dim.

ya, it's getting worse, i can tell that it won't be long till i have to send it in (second time in a year) it's soo difficult to part with a laptop that you depend on every day. i'll start backing up the files now. uugh
