I was able to backup my machine (of course I hadn't done it for a month) by holding a flashlight to the screen while searching for the mouse pointer and entering information. :wacko: I've called local service people and it looks like I might get away with only putting in $100-$200 if it is the inverter (not sure what it does). If the screen has to be replaced, then I might be out of luck because of cost and/or part availability. If I could afford it, this would have been the excuse to replace it with a new gaming laptop. Oh well, if I can get back to playing at all, it's good.
