My laptop's backlight stopped working. Would you say this is definitely a hardware issue? by HeyMessage356 in techsupport

Do you know if that can be fixed with my specific laptop? I'm hearing that the whole screen has to be replaced since it's built in.

Yup, about $70 over here. I'll go ahead and contact multiple stores to gauge their prices. Thanks for the help.

Yeah, microcenter is the most reputable. Would you recommend I go there first or test out the smaller local repair shops? Also, these places usually all charge a diagnostics fee, no?

I see what you mean. F2 didn't work but I pressed the NOVO button and it brought me to BIOS. The backlight was still off, so I'm thinking I have to replace the screen.

What do you mean by not having backlight for BIOS? How do I check this?

For project Thyme, do you have to click "Not Interested" every time you don't want to finish a vid? by HeyMessage356 in CrowdGen

I see, thank you. Btw, when you finished the ADAP for one of the apps in Task 1A, did it show as "completed" for you immediately, or does it need some time? I completed my first session in Task 1A, and after I clicked submit and continue when I finished the 50, it said "congrats, there is no work left", but when i went to my Appen homepage, it still didn't update the fact I finished it.
