         ; I have posted here before about a Gateway Laptop I am working on. If no one has any more information on this problem I understand. It has a very dim display but works fine on an external monitor. I have changed both the LCD inverter and display but the same problem still exists. Does this mean it is a motherboard problem or is there some other things I could try? If anyone has any suggestions about what I should do next would be greatly appreciated..

You should take this unit to someone who can properly diagnose the
problem. You have already spent way more than it would have cost to get
it repaired properly by someone who has the test equipment to determine
if the problem is the inverter, the backlight , the lid closure switch,
or some other problem on the motherboard. There is no way for any of us
to tell you what the problem is without running those tests. You are
wasting dollar after dollar trying to do this yourself.

Usually is the backlight. You might be able to change it by yourself. But check on google ow to replace a backlight. It's not hard, but also not very easy. good luck!!!
