Laptop screens have a back light, which improves visibility. If the back light doesn't work it makes the screen very difficult to read. Before attempting to replace the back light, check the switch to be sure it is working properly. It is not uncommon for one of the latches to get stuck in the closed position. In this case the computer will usually be on, but the back light will remain off.

Find your back light switch. These switches are usually very tiny and are located near the laptop hinges. Try opening and closing the laptop a few times to see if this releases the switch. If it doesn't work, try using a small pin to gently release the switch. This will usually do the trick.

One of the most common problem areas with a laptop is the power plug. Most laptops have a very poorly designed power plug which is made of a small plastic box attached to a circuit board by a few thin wires about the size of a staple. Over time these metal parts break or the power plug gets bent and the plastic box cracks. When this happens you will have connection problems and eventually the power plug will stop working.

Most companies will tell you that you need to buy a new power supply part or a whole new motherboard. This is not the case. It can be fixed. You simply need to rebuild the box by connecting the pins, then reinforce the area with plastic or rubber which will hold it all together and reduce the chance of this ever happening again.
