My Lenovo gaming computer powers on and appears to be fully charged, but the display is completely black. I'm not sure of the exact model and I'm not very tech-savvy. I tried increasing the brightness, restarting the computer, and pressing Windows + Ctrl + Shift + B, but nothing changed. When I shine a flashlight at the screen, I can faintly see the desktop, so the picture is there but the screen is extremely dim. Should I have it repaired, or is it time to replace the computer?

If you can see the desktop faintly with a flashlight, the computer and graphics output are probably working. That usually points to a failed screen backlight, backlight cable, or display power circuit rather than a Windows setting. Try connecting it to an external monitor or TV; if that works normally, back up your files and have the laptop’s display repaired. You probably don’t need to replace the whole computer unless the repair quote is unusually high.
