That should take care of the screen shutting down. As far as the orange light, I'm guessing that's the battery light, and it's time for a new battery.(It should be green and flashes orange when the battery no longer works properly)

backlight, inverter or loose screen connector into system board

Hi guys,this question is quite old, but perhaps the cause of the problem is still interesting. Have a closer look to your board. You should find a chip with the caption "ene" in the upper left corner. Left beside that chip is a crystal called X1. In my case this crystal was defective. So no reflow of the gpu or esd will help. :-(

Put Vista back as bad as it is.

Well for one it sounds like you may have used a monitor other than the laptops and selected this as the default monitor. When you boot the system go into your monitor settings and select the on-board graphics which came installed with your unit. also it could be that the screen has gone out. But if you have been playing with an external monitor this may be your problem. Open Control panel find your graphics and restore this back to default monitor settings.This can be set in BIOS settings as well back to on board graphics and display.
