What to do if your laptop screen is very dim?
If your laptop screen is very dim or faint, it could mean 3 things:
- You mistakenly hit the the dim screen key combination
- Your screen light / bulb or screen itself is failing
- Your inverter board is failing
How do you fix it? For option 1, you can hold down the “Fn” key and tap the up arrow key until the screen is bright enough. For options 2 and 3, you’ll have to replace these parts. The screen costs anywhere from $300 - $500 and the inverter board costs $100 - $150. It is not easy to determine which part might have failed so it is recommended to take your dim laptop to a trusty computer repair technician.
