You know, t you know, on the network a few pages of detailed instructions to replace fluorescent and LED backlighting. They will definitly help if your laptop's backlight continues.
I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite BE45T & i have a similar issue as posted in this forum.
Backlight dims sometimes to the point where it seems you cant read anything.
Should i try to change lcd as stated in this forum or get expert help from a center. The problem is there is no Toshiba centers nearby.
Is it easy to do this by oneself??
i have opened laptops before for cleaning, for changing keyboard panel etc..
Thanks in advance

If Toshiba is still having this problem, that's absolutely irresponsible of them. I sent mine in multiple times...they'd swap out the LCD but it would always go bad again. There's two things you can do: 1) let them fix it if its still under warranty, with the understanding that it'll break again, or 2) fix it yourself, even knowing that you're not a certified laptop repair person. Neither are good options, though.
I did already disable the automatic brightness adjusting setting. ... It is very similar to the flickering issue I had on my nexus 7. .... turns up, when displaying a mostly dark scene the backlight gets turned on) I can be watching movies and for daylight scenes, ... No more dimming or random brightness adjusting.
