Do you have another monitor that you can attach to it...proccess of illimination...hook the other monitor up to it and use the function key to toggle the use of the other computer. If it comes up ok then more than likely the laptops monitor has died or is dying.

If the other monitor acts the same then you are probably looking at a dying graphics card.

One other option could be a heat issue...LCD's have a bad problem with heat..computer gets to hot in the sun and from sitting in a docking station couls also cause this type of action.

Operating Costs = the cost of operating a business
Profits = revenues over and above the operating costs.
Taxes = operating costs mandated by gov.
TaxPayer = what you are called by the gov.

Look 'very' closely at the screen and see if you can detect any signs of an image. If you can, that means that the backlight is not working. That can mean the light itself or the inverter circuit that drives it is defective.
