Are there any methods that I can use to backup the files in the laptop before I send it off to apple care? I have my completed homework assignments inside that are due Friday. I think it will take longer than that for apple to have the laptop fixed.

I tried connecting the MBP to an external monitor, but there is no signal.

Thanks in advance!
I would take out the HD and put it into an enclosure and clone it using a back-up utility like Carbon Copy Cloner onto a blank HD. The software is free. You'll just need another Mac to do it.
