Sounds like the backlight has died. That will need a replacement and could be moderately expensive.

If you think the light is still working (see if it is readable in the dark, and if it gets brighter when you change from battery to mains power) have a look through the utilities and find the brightness control.

I assume it is a Toshiba?

On the keyboard, press the Fn key and one of the "F" keys with the sun and an upward arrow on it. Mine is the F7 key. Keeping the Fn key down, you keep pressing that "F" key till you get the brightness you want.

However, if you are running on battery power [sometimes I forget to turn the electric power switch on, and don't realise I'm actually using the battery] then the screen often goes darker so your battery will run longer. Naturally in this case you simply turn the electricity on.

Other than that I can't help, but others on the forum will be able to.
Good luck.
