I would rather suggest that you replace the whole motherboard, which is a lot easier than replacing the graphics chip, though more expensive.

unplug it take out the battery pack. while the pack was out they had me hold the power button for thirty seconds. I put the battery back in plugged it to the ac adapter and unbelievably it came back to life!!!!!! I hope this helps others out! They said it had something to to do with static discharge. I don't care what it is I am just so glad it is working again!!

HEAVEN: 1

Two possibilities:
* malfunctioning video-adapter inside your computer;
* some of the "data" wires between the motherboard and the display are only working "intermittently".

If the latter, take the computer to a qualified technician, for disassembly and trouble-shooting and repair.

Hold the Fn key and press F6 to increase brightness and F7 to decrease.

A few reasons
1) backlight burnt out (or broken)
2) loose or broken cable AND backlight burnt out (or broken)
3) Failed GPU (probably integrated into the motherboard on that model)
4) failed motherboard (same issue above)

Check by plugging in an external monitor- if you get a signal, your LCD need a new backlight (or inverter, an easy fix under $15 USD)).

Cheapest solution is to simply replace the backlight, but you'll have to diassemble the entire laptop lid/cover AND the LCD to get to the backlight at the bottom. (this could be under $20 USD to do). Often similar sized LCD's with different part numbers will work fine in different laptops (meaning, a 14" LCD mady by samsung or LG will be compatible with almost any same 14" LCD made by either, especially if it comes WITH the inverter!)...

Reset ur CMOS and update driver and use reginout regcleaner to fix ur problem

Could you please let me know the problem? I can't assume myself. But the best solution is uninstall it and reinstall the program.
First of all, close the Skype if it's running somehow, go to Control panel, uninstall it, restart your computer and then reinstall it. That will definitely fix your problem. Since there's nothing we use to save for skype like contacts, chat session, etc.. we loose nothing in reinstalling.

If the problem persists, let me know with more details.

Good luck.

Thanks for using FixYa.
