    I never have been able to get mine to work. With both the stock cable and the one I ordered from dell, the V whatever FHD cable, the screen comes on but the backlight does not. Any ideas before I give up chalk it up to a bad screen? Also, are the backlights on these things replaceable?

    I believe it is time for a new screen

    I do not think you can swap the LED lights on the Display
