Did you go into the bios and try adjust the screen from there or can you did it manually with the the FN key?

Sorry been sick *snifle* when the laptop starts up there will be a line saying "press .... for setup" - could be F2,Del it depends on the laptop.

Go in and look for settings,this is only with some laptops there is a gammy looking slider and just adjust it if you can. If the bios is all grey its the screen and i reckon its shot or a lose connection.

yeah its plugged into mains, battery is completely shot on it, i tried pressing before F10 to get into setup but cant see the screen properly to be able to adjust anything, i'll have to give it another blast
