G74SX - screen turns off when battery is not in?

I don't understand what happened. My G74SX was running just fine for awhile, and then out of nowhere one day the screen went black. I tried using the FN combination to maybe turn off the dim on the screen and it just didn't work, I turned off the laptop and then it wouldn't start. I put the battery in, and everything works just fine. But the moment I take the battery out (while plugged in of course), the screen goes black again and there is no recovering from it without turning the laptop off. When I say black, I mean that its not even lit up and appears to be off (although the laptop is clearly running and the power light is still on).

Happened out of nowhere. Any ideas?

Just an update, the problem hasn't come back since I posted this.
