Compaq Presario V6000 Dim Screen Problem

[alex8525]

Hello,

I have a 6-7 years old Compaq Presario V6218TU (V6000 Series) laptop. Until now it was working fine. Since last few days I was getting some screen flickering problems. When i open the lid sometime the screen will come on or sometime it will go blank. But since yesterday this has become a constant problem. So when I lift the lid and turn on the laptop I will see screen image (windows logo) for a fraction of second and than screen goes too dim (complete black). But when I look at it at some angle I can see the screen image and windows booting up. If I close the lid again and open again I can see the lock screen for a second and than it will go blank again.

I can see laptop working perfectly when I attach an external monitor (my TV).

What might be a problem? How can I resolve it?

Thanks

You can try to change the inverter, it's the circuit who give the voltage to the screen for the CCFL bulb. But before, you can look if the connection for the inverter is good.

Hello,

I tried a new inverter, but it didn't work. Still the screen gets on for a split second and than gets off. What might be the problem? /is the screen a problem or something else? I want to make sure before ordering a new screen. And there is any website to get a screen for cheap?

Thanks
