    If the screen is matte it's 2CCFL and if is glossy (Truelife) it's RGBLED.

    If it's even slightly glossy then you have the RGB LED.

    Oops sorry....you might actually have an RGB LED matter on the m6400...somehow i thought you had a m4400 iso m6400....The m6400 with RGB LED can be both glossy and matte.

    Press Windowskey + X. This will open the mobility center. In the mobility center, pull the display brightness slider from the left to the right or vice versa as quick as you can. If this causes the color of the display to change temporarily, it must be RGBLED.

    all that does is make it go bright to dim.
