If I get what your saying, the bulb is getting dimmer as you use it. Almost all of the laptops I have worked on with what your describing it is an inverter or a bulb. If it has dark on the sides and then goes dark it may be the bulb going bad which can make the inverter go bad. Just like having bad bulbs in a flourecent light can make the ballast bad.
I would get an inverter from ebay and install it. Its really pretty easy to change (normally). I see you had this done under warranty before. If you dont know how to do this I can tell you how. Get the inverter first and a small screwdriver set then if you need help I posted a description to another persons question and told them how to change the bulb. You should be able to get the idea about the inverter swap from that post or contact me. Hope this helps... Dale

- Did you ever find a complete solution for your issue? Was it a problem with the light in the LCD going bad? I know its a long time after the last post. I was just wondering. I have also come across a couple more Toshibas with a similar problem in the last 8 months. I would check around on your specific model Number.
I hope you got your problem fixed and didnt have it happen again.
