I have a less than a year old Dell Inspiron 15 (Inspiron 3542) laptop that's screen does not work. The computer powers up and the screen lights to a faint black (opposed to staying completely blank.) Initially I got a picture briefly after closing the lid and opening it up but it was flickering on and off for a half an hour and when I turned it off and restarted the next morning it was faint black again and has remained that way ever since.
I have hooked up an external monitor and everything works fine on there. And the computer is running fine. Is there something loose internally or am I missing something very basic here.
If it is a bad screen is something covered under warranty since it is less than a year old? It hasn't ever been dropped or on for any outrageous amount of time.
