HP Pavilion ze2000 PC Notebook has a dim monitor. I can barely see the screen activity. I have attached a CRT monitor and it works fine. My cat slept on the keyboard last night, no moisture problem though (that would have been yecht!...).
Also, if I push the monitor lid closed switch nothing happens, no blanking of LCD or CRT. If I set it to go into standby when lid closes, -that works. So, if it were a switch problem would not the monitor be blank, not dim? AND, why would it work for standby?
So I figure it's an inverter problem or a backlight problem. I am about to open it up and check connections, etc. What is the difference between the inverter and the backlight?
Any help would be appreciated.
