Recently purchased this nice gaming laptop for my son. Suddenly the screen has gone black but the laptop still powers on and the keyboard lights up. I hooked up an external monitor and that works fine. Is my screen corrupted or broken? After 5 months and this is the quality I can expect from HP? Please help......
