Also, keeping computers on all the time makes them last longer.  Things wear out mostly when you turn it on and off.

That could be a number of things. If the laptop is still under warranty, you should check the laptop company website for info about repairs.

If the computer is properly cooled, heat isn't a problem.  Was this laptop getting very hot?

Could be.  If the laptop has a regular monitor port, you could try plugging the laptop into a regular monitor to see if that works.  If it doesn't, then it's probably not the display.  It could be a problem with the bios or video card, or some other problem like bad memory, a motherboard problem, or if the laptop got really hot, a burnt out processor.  LCD screens do have a little fluorescent light bulb in them, but I've never seen one burn out suddenly--it's usually a gradual darkening/yellowing over time.
