    I know this is romu and not a pc forum- but i thought that i could get some intelligent advice before looking elsewhere...

    Its an hp pavilion laptop.
    It was working perfectly last night- when i booted it up this morning the screen did not turn on- not even flicker. I can hear the normal booting sounds thought and i can type my password and log in and hear it log in...

    Can a virus do this or is my screen broken?

    It hasnt left my desk and i treat it well physically-

    i have tried the function monitor keys and the brightness keys but dont see anything- the screen is definitely off and not on just showing black.

    It is one year old and running windows 7...

    Please help!
