782157 2009-06-14 06:34:00 I have just recently brought a Laptop of Trade Me and the screen works but is very dark. It said this in the auction and I brought it knowing this was the case. Now I was wondering whether you guys could give a look into it and possibly tell me what to fix/replace/tweak.

Cheers Guys

782158 2009-06-14 06:43:00 Try the Fn hotkeys to make the brightness more.

Or the backlight is dead

782159 2009-06-14 07:04:00 Thanks Blam. How could I fix a dead backlight? Njbb1995 (15002)
782160 2009-06-14 07:10:00 Take it to QMB if you are in Auckland.

www.qmb.co.nz

Or any PC repair shop near you.

If its a laptop under 400 I wouldn't bother, as the screen itself may be quick expensive.

782163 2009-06-15 08:13:00 Hard to say without seeing it, I'm not a repair tech and only one of them will be able to tell you once they have inspected it gary67 (56)
782164 2009-06-15 20:18:00 In this case your not gona be able to fix it.Try making half a laptop if you feel like. TechProX (14940)
782165 2009-06-15 21:24:00 IT would cost most of the price of a new laptop.
Use an external monitor.

Yep, your lappie's backlight and/or invertor is dead. Provided you can source another at a reasonable price they are relatively easy to fit yourself. Goto HERE (www.laptoprepair.co.uk)for instructions.
