If anyone has any tips on making this diagnosis I would appreciate it. I've been using the computer with an external monitor since it became unusable. It got worse over a month or two until now when it gets turned on it stays lit for only a second or so before quitting. The screen would start out flickery, and then often go out. After a while it started going out more frequently, especially when the monitor had just been turned on after being off for a while. Once in a while the backlight would suddenly quit while the computer was on. Both parts are pretty cheap on ebay, but I'm not sure I'm up to the task of replacing the lamp myself if that turns out to be the problem (apparently it's a difficult fix), so I'm trying to figure out if there's some way to tell from the symptoms which part is to blame before I start ordering things or taking things apart, instead of just bringing it in somewhere. From what I've been able to find, this is a fairly common problem that can be caused either by the power inverter or the actual florescent lamp. The backlight on my laptop monitor isn't working. ![]()
