Whats broken on my Dell Laptop?
I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop that I bought about 3-4 years ago. Its a great laptop and I bought it with a few upgrades but now it just broke the other night. What happens is the light from the screen subltely flickers and then goes out completely after turning it on for a few minutes. The screen looks black, but if you look closely you can still see the things on the screen in the right light. its almost as if a bulb blew or something, but i know nothing about laptops. Also, when i plug in the power adapter to the laptop, it doesnt recharge the battery or acknowledge its connected.. this all happened out of nowhere. Does anyone know what needs to be repaired, whats worng, and how much it typically costs to fix? thanks
Hit it on the head there. It could definitly be the backlight. or a couple other things. When you close the screen there is a spot that it dims the light for you. Check and make sure that little button isnt pressed in stuck. Also it could be an inverter module for the screen. Most likely with the cost of anything to replace it on that laptop you are looking at getting a new system. The screens can be quiet expensive. You may check ebay if all else fails and see if you can find it cheap.
