Oter times it just flickers.
It's plugged into the wall so the battery is always charging so it can't be that.
Any Ideas?

More than likely your problem lies in a physical connection between the screen components and the rest of the computer. The only real way to test that is by opening up the computer and testing the connections. If the connections between the screen and the motherboard check out end to end, you might be looking at a harder issue to deal with that might involve hard-to-replace components, specifically because it's a laptop.
If you feel like you can do it, try to do your physical checking first before you go pay money to have it looked at. If you're not comfortable doing that, there are instructional resources available on the web that can help.
There's also the possibility that your graphics card is failing, but you should get some kind of message on the screen alluding to the fact that there is no input, although I'm not sure if that's usually the case in laptops.
