I haven’t used my laptop in about 4 years due to the screen being broken. I recently bought a screen to fix it and reinstalled it and it turns on , however the screen is very dim and i can only see if a flashlight is held up to it. Please help I don’t want to have to buy a new one i love this computer so much .
Keep this simple. Recheck the screen’s main connector. You may not have reconnected it properly or the connector needs cleaning. Does the laptop work with an external monitor connected? I presume you have tried tapping the “Brightness” Function key? Function Keys 1 Locate the function keys at the top of your screen. “F6” and “F7” control the brightness of the display. 2 Press “Fn-F6” repeatedly until the screen dims to an acceptable level. 3 Press “Fn-F7” to brighten the screen, which is useful if you dim it too much.
