My dell d820 goes dark

[tomshardware_13]

The screen on my Dell d820 goes dark in seconds of startup. You can barely see the screen shot. Any suggestions?

Look here http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2007/01/31/replace-screen-inverter-fix-backlight/, may be a pretty cheap fix if you can do the work yourself.
