Computer Backlight.

Long story short.
Cause you don’t need to know most of it. Lol

My computer is playing up again.
It’s a Compaq Laptop and every time I jolt it a bit the screen turns off but it’s not turning completely off. Cause I can still see what’s going on in the background if I put heaps of light on it, like from the sun.
So I think it’s a backlight problem.
So then I have to like sleep the computer and turn it back on again. Which is quite annoying.
Could it be a connection or something to do with the screen?
