Why does my screen go blurry?

Why does my laptop screen go black?

• This started happening last night. I turn on the computer and all the sudden, the screen goes black. The green panel lights are still on when this happens. So its like it is still on, but the screen is black. I trying to install windows updates last night when the installation seemed to lock up, so i had to hold the power button down to restart it. After it restarted, i tried to install the windows updates again. That is when the screen went black. I held the power button down again to restart and after about 15 mins, the screen went black again. I turned it on this morning, and the screen went black within 1 minute. How can i fix this? I have a Dell XPS M140 with windows XP.

  To get a good accurate answer give the brand, model number, installed operating system of the laptop when asking a question as all PC's are not the same. If you connect it to a second monitor and the picture is okay it means you have a bad screen, loose cable, loose connection, bad inverter or lamp. If you want to fix it your self there are videos on youtube that show how to do it, but it is not easy. Here is a site that will sell you the parts http://www.laptopaid.com/%C2%A0good luck...Cost about to do it your self 100 dollars, have a shop do it 150 dollars.
