After just dealing with this problem myself, I found out my Lcd laptop screen was only at 50% brightness, now its good.

Theres 2 things you can do assuming you mean an LCD screen. Sometimes maybe on a laptop you have to press FN key then hit the keys with sun picture on it etc, to dim and brighten.

BUT... IF that doesnt work, and you make it as bright as it will go and you still feel your laptop screen or lcd monitor just seems kinda ..dim..not as bright as used to be etc.

Then it means your CCFL (cold cathode lamp) in your lcd is starting to go, or its power inverter that runs the lamp. Laptops actually usually only have ONE of these stick type lamps. If you have a certain screen size you can tell what size lamp to order. If you don't know electronics or how to take apart laptop or screen without damaging it, and be realistic. May want to just take it in to have this done, its VERY common problem. And if you do it yourself, you can go on eBay and for under $20 or around there you can buy a new bright replacement. Or call around for cheapest service place, but this is something you can do yourself, if youre very delicate, unplug everything including battery.

OH, and actually theres prob a slew of online how to videos to replacing it. If this is indeed what you meant. But may help others too.
