Please log in for more thread options wonder if they are connected. First, the computer overheats and then turns itself off. Second, sometimes, when I close the lid, the screen would become dim but would work again when I turn the computer off and back on. About a year ago, I replaced the backlight inverter. Any suggestions for a possible cause of these problems? Any chance that the two problems are related? Thanks | ||||||||||||||||

It may be time to consider if you're throwing good money after bad. Is it better to get a new laptop then spend the time and money to fix the bad one?. If you're paying somone, the labor is a big part of the repair cost. I'm thinking that the backlight is getting ready to fail again. (dimming backlight) As to the overheating: have any of the fans failed? And is the heatsink making good contact with the CPU? You may just need to clean off the old thermal paste and apply a new layer. | ||||||||||||||||
