LCD Screen Problems


Well, this morning I woke up and found that my screen was far too dark to do anything with. I did a small search and found this (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=355735) link.

My problem is the exact same, except I don't believe that my bulb is dead. I think that the switch that controls turning screen on and off is malfunctioning, since if I tap it I can briefly get the backlight working.

Is there any way to test what's wrong with it, or bypass the switch?


edit: If it helps, the laptop is an HP >.> zx5000

Nevermind, the bulb is dead. I managed to make it so the toggle is set up always on, and at first the screen was bright, but quickly faded into half-fairly lit, half black.
