Black Mac Screen - AHH!

Hello!

I got my Macbook in January of last year, and things were working (for the most part) fine until earlier today. Currently, I am writing this on my PC.

My screen won't work. It's completely black, and won't show me anything. It's not the brightness - it LITERALLY looks as though it is off. If I hit the volume buttons, I can hear the little noises it makes, and if I just hit the power button and then "enter", it turns off, so I know the display is there, I just can't see it. Even the little light on the front of the Mac (the one this is supposed to blink when it is in sleep mode) won't blink, and remains on when it is closed.

I am beyond frusterated! Can anyone out there help me? It would be GREATLY appreciated.

Does the screen work if you boot from an alternate source, say, the original Install/Restore CD/DVD that came with the computer?

If not, it sounds hardware related. Unless you're somehow mechanically and electrically inclined, your best bet would be to visit an Apple-authorized repair center.
 
Also try if reseting PRAM makes a difference for that, and if you have any external displays hook that to your Mac to see if there's any image in that display.
