Ok I checked the monitor with another pc and it acually is the pc that is causing this all to look really dark. Now its prolly the vid card, but I will ask the hotel to reimburse my entire pc, at 900 originally I will have a higher amount to bargain with if they talk me lower. Is there anyway without alot of tools though to definately tell if its the GPU card or not? Also tested the vga cord and it was fine as well. They better give me alot for my cpu. Originally it did sound like the backligh went, alot of articles on the web sounded like my prob.
Never stay at a Marriott Courtyard, their wireless is alot slower and their lobby pc's are so bad. The above article was written three times, every 20 min the system logs you off so you need to reenter your name and room number. On so many occasions ive been logged off in the middle of a post. Ive so wanted to throw this lobby pc out the window. Thank you for your help.

rig msg::::I had my psu socket spark huge when i turned my pc on and it shut the power down in 2 rooms. So I moved to a new room, turned on the pc this time making sure everything was connected well and it boots and gets into windows fine but the screen is extremely dark, so dark i can see the highlights of some icons can see some of the cursor, and a few other bright parts to the screen. some white things are too dark to see. Is this the video card or the mb, or maybe the monitor?
I can get in windows without a hitch, barely see anything login and move around windows fine, except i cant see 90% of whats there. So i think the mobo can be ruled out, all my hds show up in explorer. The vid card is atleast showing something, not much but atleast its working. So could it be the monitor? I cant swap anything cause Im away on business, brought my desktop cause its mad boring on the road and dont have a laptop.
What could it be.
Also anyone have an idea on how to approach the hotel on a reimbursment. the company is paying my board costs but the hotel should pay me for a fix right????
