Maybe it burned out? They can replace the screens, do you have a warranty?

As a temporary solution you can connect another monitor to the laptop by using the port in the back of the laptop.

I can't tell if your making fun of more or if its a serious post anymore. lol

Anyways, looks like me and ebayhateluv have worked something out with the PC. Should only be two more days.

Simplest could be that laptop was set for CRT only, you can change that using a button combination to switch to presentation or LCD only mode..

Then also screen coudl be bad:

Most common, bulb burned out.
Then, LCD power source is dead.
Then, LCD cable is bad.
Then, video card is bad (if CRT is working, then it's not bad).

LCD bulb is most common.
