It will be the back light then.
That happened on my wifes old HP DV6 laptop. She had to use the bedroom telly as a screen for like 6 months because she refused to get a new laptop lol.

It can be fixed though. There is a woman on ebay who fixes laptops and she said it was a simple fix.
We also used her to fix an old ibm where the keyboard was shot.

Edit:
Normally i'd try and fix it myself but laptops are quite annoying to work on because everything is conencted to something and there's a million tiny screws everywhere. If you miss one something will break when you pull stuff off lol.
It could just be a bad connection so if you're handy with that stuff yourself there's a few guides on Youtube on how to take laptops apart and fix various stuff.

Laptop screen are very dim without the backlight, so it does sound a lot like that.
