Whizz Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 reet geeks. Screen on my laptop is fooked. I can just about see what is on the screen but it's so dark I can't read anything or see the arrow to click on anything. Is it fooked or is there a simple solution? cheers. Quote

You've forgot to plug the power in, haven't you ? Quote
jazza Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 throw it against the wall a couple of times. If it isn't fucked now, it will be then but at least you'll know Quote

When you switch it off then switch it on again, does it illuminate for a short while then go dark again? Sounds like your backlight could have gone. I attached another screen, made sure I had backups of everything I needed (luckily only what I'd worked on that day) and then, as my laptop wasn't one that was easy to mend being 5 years old, took it down the road to someone who could sort it out. Cost me ?50 ish. Google your laptop model & backlight - see if you get any helpful results. Quote
Whizz Posted April 24, 2011 Author Posted April 24, 2011 nailed on that EG. Exactly the problem. I will Google it tomorrow from a mates. Might just get a new one though. This is 6 year old and has been slow for a while. Quote
