    My Sager (laptop) np9261's screen seems to be darkening a slight amount on the left side... it's not really noticeable unless you look very carefully, but it's darker than it should be. Once this fails, do I take it into a computer repair shop? Or do I contact Sager and send it of?


    Thanks for any help!

    It's normal for screens to have some kind of "bleeding". So i guess you have to live with it.

    the backlight maybe starting to go on your lcd screen.

    There is only one way to know if its bleeding or not.
    go to the screensaver options and select blank screen. Hit preview, and a black screen will come up.
    Shut the lights in the room. Than look at the screen. If the screen is extremely bright on one side than the light is bleeding out, meaning their is either a hole in the mylar backing of the screen, or the ccfl bulb is acting up.

    If the bulb does burn out, you should be able to get a new bulb through the manufacturer. You can either send the system in for warranty stuff, or you can buy a replacement bulb online which you can install yourself.
