    i had a similar problem although i could get the display to come back by hibernating or stand by and then waking it up. I sent it in for repairs, first they replaced the lcd, i got it back and the problem was still there. Then they replaced the motherboard and problem fixed! It was a hassle though... took almost two months.. hope you have more luck then i did.
