Having problems with your Compaq Presario Notebook ?
Display dimming down to dark
\015 My Compaq Presario LT has a problem where the video brightness drops to such a level that you can't see what is on the display. It seems to be booting up ok but I can't see what is on the display most of the time now. I hear the startup wav and the exit wav sounds so everything else it working. It used to be that when it did come up with the display showing it would be just fine until I shut it down and started it again. Sometimes it would work and sometimes not. Now it is not working most of the time so the problem is getting worse.\015\012\015\012It sounds like a chip failing to me .... is there an actual module that can be replaced or is it built into the mothereboard?\015\012\015\012Any other things I might try ... I already reloaded the video drivers.\015\012\015\012Steve\015
