isnt the screen illuminated by led's? Shouldnt it be relatively cheap to have them replaced?
@dr did the light go off when it was on or after a restart?

what country are you from? here in nz, the consumer gaurentees act allows for a reasonable amount of time (after the warranty) that the retailer is obliged to offer a repair or replacement. this time frame is determined by what is considered a "reasonable" amount of time for the good to live...you might have something like that available to you...

@san,jkeep ur fingers crossed.
@niru,the link i gave above is the repair thats needed.
@dumbrella,nope,nothing like that exists here.the vendors will go on a "silent celebration" when they hear that my warrenty expired 15 days back.
latest update:Talked to my reseller.as i mentioned in my post in SE India Reloaded,my laptop will be couriered to New Delhi for repair.Cost would be around Rs3000.

Yep, having worked and (working) for UK tech support, I can second that. But the "reasonable" period could vary from one brand to another ranging from 2 days to 15 maybe...

May be a daft suggestion but are u sure its a mechanical fault and not some fancy swichy lighty offy virus?? I dont use a laptop so have nothing to play with to look around for a poss cure, do u not have a manual with it or a HP website that may give u a clue as to what could be the cause. Lot of money to spend on a repair if its something simple.

Called up my PC guy to tell him that its working fine and need not send anyone to take it for repair...he was amazed,said thats the first time he is hearing something like this.Now he wants to know how i did it
@i,Robit ,i am sure its some mech fault as theres no virus attack in my laptop(is there any such virus out there??what if i was using a desktop with the old cathode ray tube??...only the backlight went out not the screen...i could still surf by projecting a tablelamp on to the screen).i registered a complaint with Hp India yesterday early in the morning...requesting for 'Active Chat' assistance...also gave my email id...but havent heard from them yet.i didnt check the manual either
(now i got to search for it...i never use a manual coz it ruins the surprise of finding things)
