IMHO, it is more likely that either your backlight has failed or your  
video card is not putting a signal to the screen.

My first suggestion would be to hook up an external monitor and see if  
the video shows there. If it does, your problem is one of the above.  
If it doesn't show on the external monitor, you have a more serious  
problem to work on.

For that, I suggest looking at the TechRestore web site for more  
assistance. They do a terrific job of diagnosing and repairing Mac  
laptops, iPods, and iPhones (personal knowledge - not affiliated with  
them at all except as an observer).

Good luck,
