Laptop screen lights up for a while after booting then goes dark Closed

Question

Hello, 
My old Dell Inspiron 1200 screen light comes on and the display functions normally for a while when booted, but then goes dark after about a minute. 
Even after it goes dark, however, the screen is still visible although only dimly, and the display functions normally. 
If I restart it, the same routine repeats. 
Pls advise. 
Thanks. 


Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 43.0.2357.65

You probably have a hardware problem with the screen "backlight".  A good PC tech can replace the backlight but it might cost more than to buy a new laptop.

Good Luck
