Aspire v7-481p screen stopped working

The screen on my laptop is staying black but i can faintly see my start-up page. I used it last night and it was almost dead when I turned it off (6%). I closed the lid before it was finished shutting down and then reopened it when I realised and then it finished shutting down. I went to bed and when I woke up, plugged my laptop in. A couple hours later, the charging light is still on and I try to turn the laptop on and I can hear it going but the screen stays blank. I restart a few times (by holding the power button), it still doesn't work but I notice I can vaguely see my start screen and if I press enter, I can type in my password and log in. But it's still too dark to really do anything. Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Hello Katie,
First you can try this:
1- [Fn]+[F6] - Display off: Turns the display screen backlight off to save power. Press any key to return.
2- [Fn]+[>] - Brightness up: Increases the screen brightness.
If it doesn't work, you could connect your laptop to an external monitor or LCD TV in using the VGA or HDMI ports.
[Fn]+[F5] - Display toggle: Switches display output between the display screen, external monitor (if connected) and both.

I have the same issues as Katie.
None of the suggestions worked.
The only thing I know is working is to turn on and off the keyboard backilighting.
The remote monitor did not work.
I seems that clicking the on button does not work at all.
FYI, the last time i shut the laptop down, it displayed windows shutting down for much longer than usual (more than 5 minutes). I closed the lid to put the laptop away and the display hasn't worked since.
(Hopeing for some ideas to restart the laptop, I had saved my work but not to an external device)
Thanks,

Hello papabx6,
Sorry for the delay.
If I understood correctly your issue, you don't see anything on your screen.
1- You can perform a reset power like this.
2- Your laptop is still under warranty?

I figured I should follow up with this in case others are having difficulties. My issue turned out to be a hardware issue and I had to have my laptop sent to Acer to be fixed. It is now resolved.
