my sisters laptop did something weird today, she left it on, came back, and the screen is really dark, but if you look closely, you can see everything, just almost black...
ideas?

sounds like the backlight has gone. Is it an old/well used laptop?
I'm guessing youve done the obvious like mess about with the brightness and contrast settings, open and close the screen and reboot.
