The display hardware doesn't know if the machine is rebooting or not, so it should be dim all the time if that was the problem.Ī search of Dell's Knowledge Base came up empty. I'm leaning against it being a hardware issue because on reboot, the screen comes up bright. It's dim whether it's docked or not, plugged in or on batteries. I hooked a CRT up to the docking station, and that displays just fine, which tells me that the video card is all right. About the time you hit CTRL-ALT-DEL to login, it goes dim. If you reboot, it comes back up, bright as anything. However, it doesn't go dim for a minute or two on reboot. I can just barely make out shapes on the desktop. After I booted one more time the screen just went black.
I rebooted a couple of times with no change. Really, really dim - like, stick your nose up against the screen and you can just barely see the mouse pointer, dim. Booted up my laptop this morning and after about 10 minutes it began flickering to the point it was impossible to read. No big problems, just a reddish tinge in displayed white areas of the screen. A noticeble reddish tinge showed up a few months ago. An employee here has a Dell Latitude, Model No.
