I have 2 laptops here to look at which belong to a friend. 1 of them the screen has gone too dark to see anything, you can barely see the windows logon screen. The other works fine but has a line down the centre of it. Now they are both the same model laptop and he asked me if I could take the screen off the one that has gone dark and put it onto the other. Now I am wondering why the darkness has happened, maybe the backlight has gone or something? and could this be fixed. If I was to put the dark screen onto the other laptop it would still be dark I take it?

Is it possible to use the backlight or inverter from the other laptop screen?

I cant adjust the brightness because I cant see anything. I can barely see windows. I can see kindof The Windows letters but no more. Heres a pic https://www.dropbox.com/s/5oij69dpn38tokr/WP_20150418_001.jpg?dl=0 You might be able to see something in the middle on the right laptop screen. I can if I go close up.

Ok I will try the inverter from the working one first then and post back later, thanks mate.

changing the inverter hasnt worked, so it could be the bulbs i guess. Im now thinking maybe I could fix the screen thats already on the good laptop somehow. What is normally the cause for lines down the screen, please say its fixable.
