Dell inspiron b130 laptop screen is dark if I use a flashlight I can see screen and operate computer. WHen starting computer Dell Logo is normal for about 3 seconds then screen is dark. Operates fine otherwise. Any ideas? Inverter or Backlight bulb, computer is about 5 years old and used daily? Thanks in advance

You need to install the drivers, compatable with the Operating System on your computer, for the wireless card to work.

Hello,
This could be a screen cable problem but it is normally a faulty screen even though it may look like a loose connection. Get a technician to check it for you.

All the best.

Dear,
This is a clear hard drive issue. Try reinstalling Operating System, If it fails again, probably you have to replace the hard drive

You could have a defective screen - a defective inverter or a CCFL lamp.
To determine if you have a LCD screen or video card problem, read this and follow the instructions.

Defective CCFL backlight, it may have the following symptom:

• Screen flashs on red/pink and off.
• Picture stays on in red and slowly be come normal.
• Picture flickering with dim display.
• Picture flickering on and off.

All these symptoms indicate that the LCD backlight lamp (CCFL Lamp) has reached the end of the life and all you need to do is replacing the CCFL lamp

Connect an external monitor to your laptop and power it up, if you see the normal Windows images then the video card and laptop is OK and the problem is definitely the backlight.

Dim image and/or dark display on the laptop's LCD screen indicates a faulty LCD backlight and it could be the inverter that supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp or it is the CCLF lamp is nearly burnt out or burnt out, most likely this is the case.
The inverter can be replaced easily but the CCLF lamp is more time consuming and requires soldering skills.
Check out www.lcdparts.net for parts, repair service and DIY info.

plz try to boot through safe mode, if you can then log in normally.
if you cant boot from safe mode then you have to reload or repair your os.

Connect an external monitor at the back of your laptop and see if the display is fine. If the display is fine with the external monitor, it means to say that there's something wrong with your LCD's backlight. You may have to contact Dell Technical Support to check if your system is still under warranty.

Thanks! :)

Connect an external monitor to the laptop and see if you can see what is happening on that.
It is a possibility that your inverter is faulty and will need to be replaced. They will normally power on for a few seconds, then cut out.
Remember to set the laptop to use the external monitor with the function keys.

Hi,
The easiest solution is remove the hinge cover and check if the LCD cable got cut.
