Screen Dim

[branston]

Hi all

New here and hoping one of you experts can help me:smileyhappy:
when i boot my vaio up the screen is very dim and i can barely see the vaio sign

Can anyone tell me what the problem is and how i go about repairing it.

Thanks in advance

Sounds like a bad inverter. I like it you pressed FN+F4?

Thanks for te reply. Some told me the backlight has gone and another person said a new screen is needed
How can i tell if it is the inverter??

Thanks

It could be the backlight, the inverter, or even the connections to and from them. There is no easy way to test the inverter or backlight - the only realistic option is to try a replacement.

It could also be the lid switch . . . .

Thanks Rob and Kee-lo you have at least pointed a very frustrated Vaio user in the right direction.

Cheers

Hope you can get it sorted
