If it's not an adjustment that you can do from the keyboard you might have a back light that's bad or going bad. If it's so dim that you have to turn off the lights in the room to see it - your backlight is most definately bad. Probably not worth repair.

In case it's something else ... you could try connecting an external monitor screen and see if you get the same effect (dim screen.)

It sounds like the backliht has failed. These can be relapced but its often easier to but a complete screen.

The screen of my inspiron 6000 broke. where can fix it?

Any local PC shop can replace the screen. It is not a huge deal to do so and the screens are very common and are not that expensive. You can get a new screen for under $100.00 and it should not cost more that $75 to install it. In this economy shop around and see who needs the business. Go to Ebay and see for yourself what the screens are selling for.

Dark screen ,fn does not work

I would suggest connecting the laptop to an external monitor, just to make sure that it is all running correctly.

If you can see a very dim image on the screen then the backlight is out. This can be a light problem or the inverter that powers the backlight could be bad. The inverter is not real dificult to change and also is not very expensive. If it is the backlight tho, it is easier to just change out the entire screen.

Hope this helps

The make and model do not matter. Your backlight is going and will have to be replaced. A good computer shop will be able to do it.

You can also pick up the batteries less expensive than most computer places at batteries plus. And yes it sounds as though it is the batteries charge is getting low, especially if it runs fine when the battery is out and you have it plugged in.
