Laptop Problems with FC4

Help. When i woke up this mourning and started to boot my laptop the laptop started i could see a feint image of the load screen but the monitor would not fully come on. If i press my laptops lid button that gets pressed when my lid closes then the screen will come on but only for a second.

This happened once before and the problem fixed itself somehow when i restarted it. But this time it has rendered my laptop unuseable.

I'm using FC4 with kernel 2.6.15. Has anybody else had this problem or knows of a way to fix it?

Thanks Byblyk

Well just a heads up since nobody seemed to know anthing about this. It turned out to be the back light on my monitor. I'm using radeontool to fix this problem now.
