Laptop Screen Problem.
Hi all. My laptop screen has gone really dark. I can just about see the background and if I press the windows button I can see the start menu in the corner but it is so faint, almost impossible to see.
Last night I pressed the little button that puts the laptop into standby when the lid closes and the screen flickerd a few times as it was before it went dark. Doesn't do it now, as I say the screen is really really faint.
Not seeing the screen clearly, is it possible to plug the laptop into my television so I can back stuff up before taking it to the shop to be repaired or is there another way of doing it?
I have a new laptop here so could it be possible to link them together and use this one to 'look' at my broken one if you know what i mean??????
Thanks.
