I’ve just installed Elementary on my laptop. After the installation was complete, it worked like a charm.
I made a reboot but after that, I have had a problem. The computer manage to boot the system, but the light turns off, when it comes to the login screen.
If I connect to a secondary screen, I can see everything (on the secondary screen of course). If I look carefully, I can still see the desktop on my laptop’s screen, but it is as if the light has turned off completely.

I’m very new to linux, so please tell me, if you need more information (and maybe how to find this information for you).
i would try to reinstall again, if not try another distro,there are many,some work on some machines some don't,the choice is great,
myself i never loose much time to solve an issue i take more time then if i reinstall from scratch,see, today i installed xubuntu 13.10 had a small bug then i installed Xubuntu beta 1 14.04 and soon i had a great ops working fine, if it doesn't, I'll try another flavoure till i'm satisfied.
but my favourite is always in the Ubuntu range, desktops Ubuntu Gmome Classic in xubuntu Xfce.
The next time you have a question, no matter what forum you go to, use their forum search tool. You may well find that someone else has had the same problem and found a solution to it. This will save a lot of time for you and to forum contributors.
Another thing it will do, if a solution found doesn't work for you, is give you information that you can put in your post. This will save someone from posting a possible solution that you have already tried.
I was lucky to have a lot of, mainly self inflicted, problems in the first month of my Linux adventure. Got a lot of hints on how to ask questions and so forth.
Forums are a great source for information and help. Using them takes a bit of time to get used to.
