Not that unusual for older LCD screens and/or the video adaptors to fail.  If you 
start the machine and the screen stays black you either have a defective backlight 
bulb, and/or the screen electonics/video adaptor has failed.  That it went "red" 
on you is a symptom of the electronics going bad since it has gone black now, in 
my experience...  I don't think you will find that your AV did it..  Either way, 
I don't think it will be a Windows issue.  The hardware will have to be diagnosed 
first to see if it is functioning properly, or has failed.  If you can hook up an 
external monitor and it works, that indicates the video adaptor is functioning for 
output to an external screen, but the output for the LCD still could have failed.

In my experience, the LCD electronics have failed and since this is an all volunteer 
forum, I doubt anyone will want to spend a lot of their time on what will probably 
turn out to be a hardware issue, which is off-topic for this forum. Sorry....
