    Question Laptop screen flickers and dims. What could be at fault?

    Hi, guys. I have an Acer Aspire ES 14. At first, the screen flickers then it dims. I can still read everything but it's too dark. Reading other post with the same problem, the fault could be either the video cable or the LED back light inverter. How can I check what's at fault? Thanks.
