ibook, no display :(

Hey everyone!
I was just wondering if anyone could help me. My ibook has been working great and all of a sudden I have no display. It boots up fine, the eject button works, I can hear the volume if I turn it up or down. This is my second ibook and I really need this one to work!
Its only 4 years old 800mhz,256,30GB.
There are no apple repair places anywhere (other than the apple store) around here, so I'm not sure if theres something that I can do on my own?
If anyone has any advice please let me know

Sounds like the backlight went out or the inverter board went out.

easy fix? or no?
I also actually have my old ibook which I could probably just take the LCD screen and switch if I had to.

It's probably NOT the lcd that needs swapping.

Can you seen a wicked faint image if you hold it at just the right angle? Or does it look like an illuminated, but blank screen?

nope, its actually just totally black. no image, no illumination.
