I have a hp pavillion dv2000. The screen went dim. You can still see the desktop if you hold a light to it. Every thing is fine except the dim screen. What should i do?

Your best plan of action is to plug in an external monitor and see if it runs. If it doesn't, then you have a graphics problem inside the laptop.

If it runs ok then your screen has a lighting unit and an inverter behind it. One or other has failed.

You should approach an HP service centre for its repair, or you could try to source the parts yourself but a certain degree of technical competence is required to dismantle and re-assemble a laptop screen.

Hope this helps.
