Computer Help (Updated with new problems)
Brookenstein:
First, to make this relevant.. no mykids did not throw the laptop in the hot tub.
Now that thats taken care of.
Laptop (Campaq Presario R3000) less than a year old... was working fine this morning. Went and did dishes (see this is why I should not be allowed to clean... bad things happen) came back screen was black. I thought it was hibernating or whatever hit the mouse nothing happend. Realized that the monitor was just very very dark and not in hibernation mode... I was able to tilt the screen and sit next to a lamp and be able to see enough to shut it down, that didn't fix the problem (thats all the help desk at work used to ever say to do)... rebooted blindly went to control panel, display, everything looks normal.
Any ideas? Is my darn monitor fried? WTF? I'm now using my husbands ancient computer... Any help greatly appreciated.

check the pixel fluid level!! Have your husband do it. you should be able to see a dipstick in front of the monitor. ;D

Some of the laptops have a little dial that controls the brightness of the display. I'll bet that's it.

I don't see a dial, but I do hope its as simple as that. My concern is that the 18mo old was taking a nap the 5 yr old was at school... so they didn't touch it, how could it just spotaneously happen?

Description
If the notebook is disconnected from the AC adapter while running, the display will dim slightly.
Solution
To conserve battery life, the notebook display brightness will be reduced when disconnected from the AC adapter.
To increase the brightness of the display on battery or AC power, hold the function key ( Fn) down and tap the F8 key.
