Understanding Backlight Problems
Laptop LCD screens use a delicate fluorescent light tube (backlight) paired with a reflective foil to evenly illuminate the display. Over time, these tubes can burn out—typically within 2–3 years—or may crack from impact or heat. A black screen or faint image often means the backlight has failed. In some cases, short circuits or power surges can damage multiple components at once.
Because the backlight contains mercury vapor, improper handling during repair can be hazardous. Our technicians are trained to safely and effectively replace faulty backlights, including associated components like the inverter and display cables.
Common Symptoms of Backlight Failure
- Dim or barely visible screen display
- Red, pink, or orange hue across the screen
- Screen flickering or unstable brightness
- Very faint images or text
- Hissing or buzzing sound from the screen
- Screen lights briefly before going dark again
