Solution
Use an external monitor or another monitor to get your files backed up. It sounds like your display is having a backlight issue.

Please keep in mind that important files should always have a backup copy made as soon as possible. HDD's and SSD's can and do die without warning and 25 cent dvd's are a whole lot cheaper than sending a drive out for data recovery.
