we can still use it but the screen is just not as bright as it usually is. Its been like it for a few days now. I thought it was my eyes as they have been playing up but dh complained about it. I can not hear a fan
have you tried just turning up the brightness?Quote:

If not, it could be a dodgy inverter or pinched inverter cable which would need service to fix
Yes same as when on batteryQuote:

Either way, they'll sort it out for youQuote:
