My laptop was working fine and after about 7 months or so the screen started to flicker on and off a bit but not too much and then it went black so I plugged it into my pc monitor and it worked fine until a few weeks ago when even that wouldnt work.I can see windows xp start up and load behind the black screen on the laptop but the screen itself wont light up.I would just like to know how to fix it and how to get it to work until I do fix it.
