Pending that you have files on your D: Drive that you don't want to lose, DO NOT FORMAT YOUR DISK. Formatting will erase all information on the drive and set it back to RAW settings. If you aren't sure if you have BitLocker or not, if you didn't install it yourself, you don't have it. Recommended Actions as follows: 1) Open "My Computer" or "Computer" 2) Right Click on the D: Drive 3) Go to the bottom of the list & click "Properties" 4) Click on the "Security" tab 5) Click the "Edit" button between the two boxes A second window should open. It is set by default on "Authenticated Users" 6) Click the box beside "Full Control" If you wish, do the same for "Administrator"

1) Open Control Panel 2) Click 'System & Security' 3) In the Upper Right Hand corner in the Search Bar, type "System Restore" (Without the Quotations) 4) Choose Option "Restore system files and settings from a Restore Point" 5) Choose a restore point that was created before the time frame that you lost your configuration. This option will not only restore your system settings but your personal settings as well.

There's nothing switching the display. the back of the screen is usually a bank of white LEDs behind a diffuser or a white florescent flat tube. That is what you are seeing. In front of this is a layer with each pixel point represented by a blue red and green LCD cell. When current is applied the structure of the LCD becomes amorphous and the light shining from behind lights up the pixel through a polarising screen. If you can see the white backlight then some thing may have gone drastically wrong with the display. that's unusual because normally the display is all 'off' when the display is at rest (no current). So either your display/ video output is in serious trouble or it's another issue that I can't answer because there's not enough info. You may need to take it to a repair technician to assess the situation in person.
