I have a HP Pavilion dv2500 which is 2.5 years old and has been working ok until today.

Had just turned it on and went to search google when the screen just went blank. Rebooting did nothing to help the screen. I can hear Vista booting up and have successfully connected it to my TV via HDMI and it displays fine.

While using the TV, I have checked the display settings and the laptop screen is active and at the correct resolution. If i disable the laptop screen it goes slightly darker, and conversely when i enable the screen it lights up only slightly but is still blank.

There havent been any obvious knocks to it recently and this is the first problem i have had with it.

Any suggestions to get it working again?
