Most likely will need to swap out the video card or run a bios flash.  Bios flashes are super simple with dell but make sure you know what you are doing as a flash to the bios, if done improperly, will brick the entire machine.

Link to instructions on how to do that (must be text/pictures. Videos will not be played due to ridiculously slow internet)

I googled images on how a laptop screen usually looks when the video card is dead or needs to run a bios flash. I don't think that's my prpblem, looks completely different ?

I just plugged the laptop in to my TV via HDMI and now I can use it. No idea what's wrong with my laptop screen, maybe broken ?

Maybe I honestly dont know and even if I saw a picture of the screen id likely be of not too much help. But maybe if you provided enough details and pictures you might get help from this forum. I solved my last issue posting on here: http://www.videohelp.com/
