hi can anyone help?
when i boot up the computer (its a laptop) the screen is DARK and you can just about see it but it is very dark. I left it off for the last few DAYS but before this it was fine so I don't know whats happened to it?a bit vauge, but we can work around that,
what kind of laptop is it?
how OLD is the laptop?
is there any brightnes/contrast control on the laptop?
does EVERYTHING else work correctly, other than this?

when you answer those, we might be able to help you a bit more ^^

[size=14]Viper[/size]errm im really thick with these things..
it says IPC on it is that the make?
Its about 3 yrs old I think, cant find any brightness controls on it, I've never used them before.
Everything else is ok. If I really concentrate I can find the mouse and open programs on it.
Is it the backlight do you think? can this be replaced?My guess is the screen died on you I'm guessing the whole screen would have to be replaced, that might be spendy, I don't really know, you might have to wait for someone elses opinion on this. sorry I wasn't much help



ViperWait! question
are you very moblie with your laptop? if you arn't, there might be a VGA port on the back of your moniter, so you can hook up a regular moniter to the back of your laptop and still use , with out replcing the screen on it. I'll post a pic of a VGA port shorly if you don't know what one looks like.

there is a picture that might asist you on your search of the back of your laptop

Hope this helps,


Viperthe light in the back of the screen is burnt out. they give the students at the school i goto laptops for school assignments, we get to take them home, all that crap, and i see it happening all the time to the school lappies

EDIT: forgot to mention, its not cheap to replace, you have to take apart the whole lappy to fix ITCORRECT. It is not cheap and you need to know what you're doing or you will be out the cash and still have a non-working machine. With a no-name system it may be impossible to find the correct parts anyway.
