my gateway mx8741 the screen decieded to black out now

it will show for a couple seconds then go black it does this when i turn it on or come out of like a power saver mode

i can maybe see things very dimly on screen but hardly(still black)

i put an external monitor on it and it works fine this way


is there a way to fix this, i am good at fixing laptops just havent run into this before

If you can still see things on the monitor, just very dim. Then it sounds like the backlight of the display has gone out.
Either way, it sound to me that its a failure on the internal display and it would need to be replaced.
You typically don't buy individual monitor parts. You'd buy just one whole new monitor which will come with everything.
