This is really a hardware problem, so if it's the wrong ng could someone
point me in the right direction, I could not see any more suitable ng.
The problem is to do with the screen and possibly the AC adapter. Some time
ago one of the four pins on the power supply plug snapped off - probably my
ham-fisted way of hammering it home into the laptop (figuratively
speaking!). Recently i noticed that the screen was not as bright as another
laptop I had hanging around. Not sure how long it had been dimmer, if indeed
it was, as you don't tend to notice gradual changes. Removing the power
supply out (and therefore running on battery power) did not make the screen
dimmer, as I was sure it had when I originally bought it. Am I completely
mistaken and is the Amilo screen naturally dimmer than most? If not, would
this be due to a loss of one of the pins on the AC adapter, or just the
screen getting old (5 years old now) ? I did not notice a drop in brightness
when the pin broke some while ago, only recently. Finally, if necessary, can
the screen be replaced or is it just not worth it?
Sorry to ramble on, all and any help gratefully received
