Oh and when it went black in the beginning I could see the outline of boxes. (Like if the volume control box was open)

Oh man, I'm an expert at fixing this problem by now. helped my cousin who knows shit all about computers fix this on her netbook. So if it's what I think it is do this:
Shut down your laptop.
Unplug it if it's plugged in.
Remove the battery back.
Hold the power button on your laptop for like 15-30 seconds. This drains the power left in the laptop.
Put the battery back in and plug it in if that's what you normally do.
Turn on laptop.
Let me know if that fixes it. I'd say most of the time there are screen errors on a laptop or netbook static is the issue.
If it's still broken take it to a computer repair place and see if it's something to do with the connection between the inner workings and the screen. Could be a loose wire in the hinge.
