A couple of days ago I switched on and the screen on my laptop appeared to be black. Fans, CD, HDD all functioned as normal. I suddenly realised that the screen wasn't black just very dark as if somebody had turned down brightness and contrast. If I shine a strong light on the screen I can see everything a bit better. After digging around I read that some LCDs are backlit. Is this likely to be my problem ???? If so, is it possible to replace the back light ????
I haven't yet tried plugging in an external monitor but I don't know if that would prove anything anyway.
Any advice please ????????
Whatever the outcome, does anybody know where I can buy cheapish replacement parts ?????
Is anybody breaking an Inspiron 5000e ??????
Dell part no. is 4889T.
Thank you in advance
