Backlight probably went out, or you put your phone or finger or something over the little plunger that makes the backlight turn on and off (newer laptops don't have this though, it's built into the hinge).
If you bring it into a bright room (or grab a flashlight) and look REAAAAAAALLY close at the screen, do you still see icons/browser/etc?

Yes but it's still very dark. So what causes the backlight to go out?
Nothing to do with a flash drive being inside the laptop for 3 days?
Not at all. There isn't any correlation between the two. It happens to everyone, it is a fatigable item, just like a light bulb in your lamp.
