screen on my gateway lt4010u netbook won't turn off even though the power is off

When i turn off my netbook the screen stays white and im guessing it's still on but everything else is off except the screen

It sounds like the screen's backlight isn't turning off with the rest of the system. You'll have to get it looked at (by someone who knows what they are doing, of course).
