Sorry about your problems. You should always email yourself a copy of your papers every hour or so. Then you can get a copy on your room mates computer.
You should check your connections to the monitor and the video card, if this is a desktop.
The fastest method to get you files is to remove your hard drive and attach it to another computer. If the hard drive is OK the 2nd computer will be able to read the files.

Not much more work. You need to know if the hard drive is SATA or PATA (also called IDE). This we can tell from the laptop model. Then you buy an adapter that has an interface that turns your harddrive into a USB drive that you can plug into another computer. These adapters cost less than 40 US dollars. For 30 more you might get the computer store to remove the hard drive and install it in the adapters case.
Laptop video adapters are mounted on the motherboard and can't be removed and/or repaired. Your screen problems may also be caused by a failure of the "backlight" or "inverter" that powers the backlight.

No it can't be "cured" by moving the hard drive. That's just the fastest way to retrieve your school work.
If your laptop has a VGA monitor outlet on the back, you can attach an external CRT or LCD (like those that are used on a desktop PC) to test if the laptop still works. You will need to activate the VGA port after the laptop boots - most laptops use the Fn + F8 keys for this function. Press both keys at the same time. Good Luck.
