i have an acer aspire M5-481T and i was using it and it worked fin then i closed it and later came back and turned it on and the back light doesn't work i know its not the LCD because i can still just see the screen in the light when it on an angle i really need to fix this quickly because its my school laptop and it will probably take the it guys 2 weeks to fix it and i cant take it apart because its the schools and i am just paying for it and also they installed windows 8 -_- on the laptops and btw acer sucks :fou: HELP!!!!!
 
Well, it's very likely that the backlight is broken. You'll have to send it in or repair it yourself. Either way, you won't have it fixed by tomorrow.
