Paula,
Dim LCD screen has become a common compaint, and there may be a
solution!
I have been repairing laptops recently, and they have a small
board along the boarder of the LCD screen called the 'inverter'.
It can cost as little as $20 in single quantity. According to
http://www.inventgeek.com/Projects/shorts/lcdfix.aspx you can
install it in as little as 20 minutes.
I first looked for one of these six months ago, and the one I
needed cost $95, but I searched for the same inverter last month,
and found several sources for under $30 and lots of models to
choose from! This would indicate that there is a growing market
for this type of repair!
Save that monitor from the junk heap!

Thank you Brian! I'll check this out and see if I"m capable of doing
the repair. Nothing lost except the price of the inverter if it
doesn't work , I guess, as the old monitor is going to be recycled
when I replace it.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather
to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body
thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a
ride!" Have a wonderful day!
