my grandfather has this laptop form 2004 and the backlight died so its impossible to read anything

this is also why you shouldnt buy older monitors from goodwill since they most likely have the same problem

does your laptop have any other ports or is it one of those dodgy new ones that are ultra thin and can easily crack

You could also repair the port or swap it for a new one, i had to do that when something broke on one of my things

its supposed to be a gaming laptop but that isn't the case anymore since its broken for the most part

sure it takes a while to replace the port but if the laptop is expensive then id definitely do that
