Screen doesn't light up right
My Inspirion 2500 laptop has been having a problem. If I close the lid or start up my computer sometimes the screen doesn't light up. I can see the sign on faintly on the screen and can sign on but I have to close & open the screen several times and it finally will come on. What is wrong & what can I do to fix this problem? Any and all help is appreciated.

if that's the problem then you'll need a new backlight bulb.

So John,
Does this mean that my LCD is out or going out? I called the tech center and that is what they think. I can still read the what is happening in the background so long as I am looking at the screen at a certain angle or use a flashlight. If I turn it off & on enough or once I'm logged on, I open & close the lid enough, it usually comes back on. Dell said a new LCD would be about $700, in that case I need to just by a new one. Someone said something about a backlight, what is that? Your help is appreciated.
