A technician is troubleshooting an older laptop with a CCFL LCD display. The screen shows an image, but it is extremely dim, and adjusting the brightness controls does not affect the visibility. Which component is MOST likely at fault in this scenario?
The system's battery
A faulty HDMI port
The inverter
The power supply unit
When a CCFL LCD display shows an image that is visible but dim, and brightness controls do not work, the most likely cause is a failing inverter. The inverter is responsible for converting the laptop's DC power to AC power to light up the CCFL backlight. Without a functioning inverter, the screen would be dim because the backlight isn't receiving the proper voltage. Other answers, such as the battery, power supply, and HDMI port, do not directly affect the brightness of the screen's display.
