I can see a faint image of my laptop screen but it's really dark. I can use the s-video cord to hook it up to the television and use the computer just fine. The screen just all of a sudden is just black.

How do I fix this?
 
Your LCD is probably going out. You might have to buy a new LCD or just a brand-new laptop. What are your specs? If it's old, you might want to get a new laptop because LCDs are expensive to fix. Or you might wanna keep it hooked up to the TV or a monitor.
 
Yeah it is probably a bad backlight, I don't think you can replace the backlight itself so you would have to replace the whole lcd screen which would run you about 150-200 dollars depending on the model.
 
that happened to me back in the day with my old dell...fortunantly it was under warrenty and I was able to get the backlight replaced for free...
