I got to work tonight and turned on my laptop just like I do every night and when I look at the screen it is totally blank. I've tried a couple things and low and behold nada. Fortunately the computer is still working, and if I stare intently at the screen I can make out a faint outline of what is appearing on the screen of my laptop. I planned on replacing it later this year, but not right now. Unfortunately I also need it this weekend.

I hate unexpected expenses.

Edit changed black to blank.
