So yesterday I was using my MBP normally, but I decided to restart the computer for some reason.
When it restarted, I didn't have any display on my screen, the backlight wasn't on, though I could hear the hdd spinning up, and then once OSX had loaded I could press the volume adjustment buttons and caps lock, and they were responsive. So pretty much OSX had loaded up okay, but there was no display.
So I tried connecting my external monitor, and theres no display on that one either.
The only way right now to access the computer, is to use screen sharing/vnc and the computer is running, but theres some strange things going on.
In the system profiler, it shows that I have a X3100, and 64mb of video card ram. I have no idea why it says this all of a sudden, and I have a 8600 with 128mb.
I thought if it was a drivers issue, I could boot into bootcamp, and it would work, but no in bootcamp I had no display either.
I've tried resetting the PRAM, NVRAM, Power Management, going into Target disk mode, Verbose mode, everything has no display.
Theres a thread in the apple discussion forums here, with other people havving this same problem, and it seems that its been going on since before 10.5.3.
and the only possible solution atm is a new logic board.
I'm out of ideas, but I was hoping that someone else might know whats going on, or a possible fix. Thanks a lot.

still under warranty? worth taking in as a possible hardware problem.

Yea I'll probably have to do that.
I'm getting the optical drive replaced this week, so if I can't get it to work before then I'll see if they can replace the logic board at the same time.
But that's pretty much my last resort (and posibly my only one)
No Display on MBP
