Its possible the graphics controller has died in which case you will need a new motherboard. Get it diagnosed first and see what they say. Apple has a flat rate repair if you ship the laptop to Texas ~ $300-325. My buddy just had the graphics go out on his '07 MBP. About 18 months ago mine went out, but that was a bit different because nVIDIA had a recall on the graphics chip so Apple replaced the motherboard for free.
