If you can see faint images on the LCD and you can connect an exrternal monitor and get a normal display, the issue is a failed LCD backlight

My Dell Inspiron 6400 is extremely dark. +brightness does nothing

Hi there.
Yes, if you can see a very faint image on the screen that indicates that the inverter or inverter coil has become defective and needs looking at or replacing.

Good luck and thanks for using Fixya!!

Dark screen on my laptop

It still could be the inverter or the lamp (CCFL). Even with a meter, you must likely won't know for sure. Plus it can have 1800v there at times. So that is pretty high. Sorry I don't have better news for you.

Dell inspiron 5150 dark screen, faint image in background

If it showed a pinkish tint on the screen before it went out it could be the backlite. If you can see a faint screen when you turn the room lights out it chuld be the inverter. Inverters are cheap ... a used one for around $8 on ebay. Try that first. Make sure that you buy the EXACT model that is presently in your laptop.
