my screen on my laptop has been going black, you can bearly see the information on the screen now. Nothing has changed on the computer, except the battery will no longer hold a charge. Is this something that can be fixed, it is not the setting on the computer.
 
A dead battery generally does not make a laptop stop working... as long as the laptop is connected to the AC outlet.

Is the screen very dim when using battery or AC outlet? Or only when using the battery?
