Q: Black screen

Original owner of a 2009 13 inch Macbook Pro. I have never had any issues until now. My screen is black and you can't view anything unless it is plugged into my TV through a HDMI chord. The mac operates just fine otherwise. One day I was using it and the screen flickered for a second and then a minute or so later it did it again and then went black. If it makes any difference I did install El Capitan a couple weeks ago. Any help?

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

    The symptoms you describe suggest a problem with the display or the display connection.  Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE definitive diagnosis.  The connection repair will be cheap, the display will not.
