Hi, there. I have a T23 that I have had for several years. It has served me well until just recently.

I was greeted with the BSOD and I got an error message stating unmountable boot volume. Thankfully, a colleague was able to repair the corrupted boot sector and the hard drive data was intact. Time to back up again!

However, just the other day (one to two days after the boot sector was repaired) my screen went very very dark. I cannot increase brightness. If I hook up an external monitor, the external monitor is fine. It is only the laptop screen which is dark. I can only very faintly see what is on the screen.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions? Do backlights just die? Time for a new laptop?
