Dark Screen??

[Guest]

I am operating XP on a laptop, COMPAQ Evo N610C. When I log on...during the
boot process the screen goes dark. If I look real hard I can see my desktop
in the backgroud but not to the point where I can use. I have looked for a
button to adjust the screen lighting but can't find one. Anyone with an
idea? Thanks.

Is your screen ok after you have loggged on or is it permanently dark?. If
it is permanently dark I would suspect the inverter for the LCD screen has
failed and needs replacing.

When I log on it displays fine but within about 30 seconds it goes dark.
Unless you have another idea...is something like the inverter very expensive
to replace? Thanks for your time.
