You have either missing or corrupt boot or system files. Run the Check Disk Utility. To run the check disk utility you will need a repair disc or
a operating system disc. Put the disc in the cd drive and boot from
it. You want to get to the Dos Command Prompt (Black screen with white
letters) and type the following command: chkdsk /r
Check disk will run well over an hour or two and you will notice the
percentages going from high to low, this is normal. Let it run to
completion. Then reboot machine.
If check disk fails to solve your problem you might have to reinstall windows.
Try doing a Repair Install that way you don't loose your data, documents,
music, pictures, videos or programs.
In windows xp you get to the dos command prompt by selecting R for repair when
the options appear.
In Vista and Windows 7 you want to get to the recovery
console and look down at the bottom of the window for the Dos Command.

It's easy to miss the point at which you hit Ctrl + F11. You need to hit Ctrl + F11 at the point you see the blue bar across the top of the screen, it will display www.dell.com. If this is still not working you can use the XP operating system CD to reinstall XP and the Dell drivers CD to reinstall the sound, video, network and other drivers. If Dell didn't send you the operating system CD, you should contact them.

I don't know about that particular laptop but it sounds like a loose connection between mainboard and screen plus a bad inverter (regulates and supplies voltage to the actual screen from the main power source). Laptops typically have the inverter hidden somewhere in the frame that surrounds the actual lcd screen. Sometimes this regulator is part of a small circuit board, sometimes it is not (I suppose it might be part of the actual lcd in some cases, but i've never seen that). I would investigate things further in that direction and just hope your lcd itself isnt bad.
