    Is it too dark to see anything or does it show the icons and windows but looks as if you are wearing dark sunglasses?

     

    If it is totally dark, shine a bright light like an LED flashlight onto the screen near the top of the display and see it you can detect the menubar. If so, the display part is working but the backlighting has failed.
