I have a laptop and I recently installed a new CD-ROM. My laptop screen has become flickering and went almost completely black. I can hardly use it right now because it's so dark. Does anybody know what I did and how it may be fixed?

According to me you have accidentally hit the screen settings. Also try closing and again opening the lid a few times maybe 10 or more times.
Try using some external monitor and if you're able to view the screen using an external monitor with no problems, then I suspect the video card or the display is faulty.
Make sure your power settings are not set to automatically turn down the brightness to a minimum level to save battery power.
It sounds like that it's a backlight problem. There are chances of either the screen is dead or faulty. Just get it repaired.
