Why is my computer screen black?

G72T-200 Notebook Windows 7 64 BIT

ATI Mobility Radeon Premium Graphics Card

- Okay so I was browsing the internet playing a game when my computer began a shutdown process which I thought was strange because it didn't warn me. Then when it got everything closed and came to the login screen it said windows is installing updates so I just figured no problem. When the computer restarted however the screen was completely black and has remained black.

- Also another thing about 3 days ago the computer slipped off a small bedstand about 1 foot high and when I came back to the computer certain parts of my screen had a red tint. But after an hour or so that disappeared, I'm not sure if that is at all related or not but I wanted to include it.

I have installed the newest graphics card update and taken the battery out for like 30 seconds or so but neither of those things helped. I currently have it plugged into a wired monitor and it works fine. Also I did the trick where you take the battery out and power and hold the power button down for 60 seconds and that didn't work either.

    Maybe your computer screen had got scratch, go to the service center and repair your PC

    I just got my laptop back from repair. Had a similar problem. I turned on the laptop and the lights at the bottom would turn on but the screen itself stayed black. I took it to a neighborhood service center and they told me it's probably an overheating problem. So I sent it to Toshiba since I had a warranty. They fixed it but in no document, receipt or in-voice did they mention what the problem was, which part was replaced and how to prevent it from happening again. So if the screen isn't working it's most probably a hardware problem.
