Could be the ribbon cable connecting the LCD to the laptop being ajar. Although, in my experience, fixing laptop LCD's, they are usually secured pretty damn good. If your machine boots up fine and then dies, it's either your graphics chip gone to shit or the ribbon cable.

I would clean it out with compressed air where you can. The dust could be overheating the machine. And if that doesn't work, look up a local laptop repair shop to get it fixed. I wouldn't take it to BB or FS. They will rape you.
