Laptop screen is barely readable, cannot not determine location of cursor.

Screen back light or inverter gone - repair shop for this one

I've had a replacement screen come in from the vendor directly that was dim from the get go. We removed the casing on the screen and noticed that one of the cables wasnt seated correctly. We pushed it in, heard a click and powered up the laptop again, this time the screen was fine.

Of course if you are not comfortable with removing the screen plating I dont recogmend this, also if your laptop is in warranty your better off just sending it in for repairs.

i am having the same problem, my screen apears to be pretty nuch black until i have to tilt it up to be able to slightly read the dark screen.
