I have an HP Pavilion laptop, that I bought new last November, with a 2.0Ghz AMD64 processor, with an NVidiA 64Mb shared graphics card, running XPSP2 and 45 minutes ago, the display was working fine, I walked away for a bit, and power management turned the screen off, like normal, but now, when I try to move the mouse, to get the display back on, nothing happens. I can hear the normal Windows sounds, so apparently the computer itself is working, just something is going on with the display. I tried rebooting, nothing different, everything else is normal sound-wise, but no visuals during boot up either, the screen glows sometimes, though not always. Login password works, and I can hear everything in hte background, just can't see anything. Any ideas why this might be happening? And all of a sudden like that, when I wasn't really doing anything with high demand? Any ideas how to fix it?

try messing with the little button that is depressed when the screen is closed.

the light source at the top of your screen is probably dead. unless its a brightview screen then you should have two sources. Either way send it back to HP, if you have a reciept proving when you bought it then you still have your one year manf. warranty. for the next few days at least
