    Hello,

    When I turn on my lap top the screen goes dark. The laptop is still on, but I cant use it as the screen is dark. Have to turn it on and off about 5 times before it starts working properly again.

    Any idea whats causing this?

    Does it dim? Or does it completely go off?

    The new MacBook's have a feature that automatically adjusts the level of the screen depending on the ambient light. I find it rarely gets it right so I just turned that option off.
    Sounds like something more serious than that though.

    If it's under warranty you could get on to Apple. Their customer service is said to be pretty good.

    Need a bit more information. Is it plugged in or on the battery? Do you know what settings the laptop is using for how bright the screen is?

    Sounds like the Display Inverter has gone. You'll probably need a replacement.
