Dell Inspiron 1521 (dim/dark laptop screen)
Just checking my thoughts on this...
my daughter sprayed some windex onto the screen of the laptop... now the screen is very dark/dim. I can see icons (barely), I can see a buble in lower right (probably telling me about some unused icon or something) and I can see the start menu pop up when I hit the windows buttons, but everything is very dark/dim.
I found something that said that:
Most likely the water has broken the inverter panel.

Does this sound right to anyone?
Just want to know before I buy a $50 part and try to replace it myself."Sympathy means a lot, coming from Kulmar. I didn't think it was possible.

Sounds like the inverter if the screen is dim. Plug it in to an external monitor or TV just to make sure.
I just replaced an inverter and screen for a friend whose screen was smashed. https://www.screencountry.com/index.php

the inverter for the cfl is most likely bad. go on ebay and grab another for 30 bucks.... the next option up is a new lcd for 125.00
