Someone indicated earlier on this forum that that it is important to isolate the problem and I agree. To isolate the problem, I've connected en external monitor to see if the computer still functions properly (and it appear to work well with the external screen up). Now that I know it is the screen and not the computer - how can I isolate what part of the screen is the problem and needs replacing - is it the cable, is it the screen, is it the inverter etc. any help will be appreciated! Any idea of cost of doing it yourself and what is reasonable for repair by someone else (GeekSquad, etc) ? At one point there is a breakeven point where it makes better sense to buy a new computer (I think $400-$500 is that breakeven point) for a computer older than 2 years.
any help is appreciated.
