Not sure what the keyboard lightness keys would do, but am trying that as well, but will play some more. For now, I have it hooked up to s spare monitor, soat least I can try some things and to start the back up of data process.

This has happened MANY times to my staff. Rarely has there been an actual problem with the laptop. You didn't mention that this was something you tried, so I thought I would echo this idea. BOL. Can't wait to find out what happens. Ditto what the previous comment says. This has happened MANY times to my staff. Rarely has there been an actual problem with the laptop.

Something similar happened on my PbG4 shortly after I first got it and it turned out to be the little screen brightness controls in the function keyset. You've probably thought of that, but just in case you haven't ... did you try turning up the brightness manually with the function keys? Sometimes messing with the f10 (I think) key, the one for the backlit keyboard, has an effect as well. I have manuka honey for your mom, btw. Sorry to hear about your MBP, Alan.
