After getting home from 10 hours of work that, thanks to the weather, felt like 12 I opened my netbook to look at my idle games & shoot the shit with you fine folks only to find that the screen won't turn on.

I won't lose anything because it's all backed up, but it will surely be a downer until I can get it a shop to find out if it can be repaired. With any luck it's something simple like a loose connection that can be gotten at with tools I don't have.

You can probably use an external screen.

HDMI to USB or some shit if it's available. If you're in luck, it might have an HDMI port.
I don't know shit about netbooks, though.

Double checking the ports was my first move. I found an old monitor, a VGA/HDMI adapter... No power cord. I might have one in my box of cables at the office. I'll check tomorrow.

You'll probably be able to pull it off.
