How do you fix a laptop screen that is dark but you can still see very faintly the home screen?

To state the obvious, make sure the brightness is turned up. This is usually a function key on the keyboard (the icon is probably shaped like a sun). If this doesn't accomplish anything, then the backlight on the LCD may be damaged, or else there could be a problem with the inverter. (I had a very similar problem myself: the screen would appear incredibly dark when I turned it on/woke it up, and then openning and shutting it a bit or jiggling sometimes helped, at least for a while - this is NOT a solution, it's merely a quick fix, and it only works so many times.) The inverter is more likely to be the cause: the backlight is a CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) and such last longer than the inverter. You can purchase an inverter or backlight relatively cheaply on the internet - I would recommend checking the related links I've provided, they have more information on the possible problems and fixes, as well as instructions on how to replace the inverter or backlight.

∙ 13y agoI don't know if you're trying to say you laptop is brokwn or you see the laptop differently. But if you are trying to ask how to brighten up the screen press the [Fn] button (usually on the lower left corner) while also holding down the sun button (usually where the arrows are located on the lower right side) there are two, hold down one to figure out if it brightens the screen or darkens it that way you'll know which is which. hope this helped!

Why is your laptop screen dark?
It might be in sleep mode, hibernate, shutdown, or it could be simply out of battery and needs to be plugged in so it can resume.
Why is your monitor on your laptop so dark?
Could be because the display brightness is set to low. If you have a new laptop, see if it has a "Fn" button and a button with a sun with an arrow pointing up. Hold down the "Fn" button and tap the other button a couple of times.Remember that your screen contrast affects your screen brightness. Check the contrast settings and set them to >20, anything lower is hard to see.
Turn Down The Brightness To Save The Screen?
After you buy the best laptop under 1000 dollars, you need to take care of it. One thing that you can do is to turn down the brightness and the contrast on the screen. The sharp contrast between bright lights and dark colors is what can burn an image into the screen forever. If you turn the brightness down, you can keep the contrast from being so great. This will preserve your new screen.
If no image appears on laptop what is the problem?
1.Check your AC adapter. Your battery may be dead and your AC adapter may have come loose at one of two points. Make sure the adapter is properly and snugly plugged into the back of your laptop. Check the wall socket or surge protector where your adapter is plugged in. Make sure this connection is secure, and consider trying another wall socket in case the current socket is blown. 2. Consider your laptop battery. Your laptop LCD screen may be dark because the battery has deteriorated and can no longer hold a charge. Average laptop batteries last for 1,000 charges, after which point they start to go bad. Check the battery indicator light on your laptop (usually on the side or bottom) to see if the machine is receiving any power. If not, the battery needs to be replaced.3. Check your monitor brightness settings. This may explain why your laptop LCD screen is dark or unresponsive. At times, the monitor brightness settings have been accidentally turned all the way down, resulting in a dark screen. You can turn these settings back up via the brightness keys above the numeric keys on most laptops. 4. Check the LCD closed switch on your laptop. This switch acts as a sensor that is located right by the monitor hinges. Sometimes this switch gets stuck in the "closed" position, resulting in a dark screen even when the laptop is opened. Tap this switch a few times to jolt it back into the open position. The back-light on your screen should come back on. 5. Hook your laptop up to an external monitor as a test. This test will allow you to determine whether the fault lies with your display itself or with the motherboard. Find an external monitor and use a VGA cable to make the connection between the laptop and this monitor. Power on both the laptop and the external monitor and see if an image appears on the external monitor. If no image appears, your motherboard likely needs to be replaced, which is an expensive proposition. If the external monitor does display your laptop's desktop/information, however, the fault lies with the LCD screen itself and this needs to be replaced.

How do you get a dark spot off of your flat screen tv?
Many times a dark spot is simply a soiled screen. These can be removed with ammonia based cleaners. If the dark spot is a dead pixel, then it is rarely recoverable. This is caused by a failed transistor within the screen itself, and is not repairable.
