If the screen is just extremely dark, and you can still see the shapes
of windows and such, then its just the balast or bulbs. This is very
common in laptops. It's usually the balast. I'll buy this <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Dell-Inspiron-9200-9300-9400-lcd-inverter-LTN170W-B_W0QQitemZ120149508739QQihZ002QQcategoryZ42187QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">

For all you laptop enthusiasts out there:<br><br>I have a Dell Inspiron 9300 with the back light gone out. I have been quoted $350 for parts and $50 for labor. Would you guys think that this is a fair estimate?<br><br><br>
