Hello all!
I have had my Dell XPS M1210 laptop for around 6 years now. I bought it new from Dell and even had Dell upgrade it right away. It has been working like a charm until about a month ago.
I was using it as normal. Shut it down. Went back later to use it again and it would only boot to a black screen. I tried a few more times and it finally booted normal again. I used it for about 30 min and the screen went dark again. :(
I tried booting to the BIOS and to Safe Mode, but there is no way for me to see the screen when doing so.
I have extensive experience with putting computers together and fixing issues, but this one is puzzling me so far. I thought the problem might be the backlight, although mine looks like it is in good shape. I am still thinking this may be the case.
I can tell the computer is still working based on the activity with the DVD and hard drive lights when booting it.
Any suggestions before I try replacing the backlight?
Thanks!
