I am assuming brightness may be low.

Press <Fn> and the up-arrow key to increase brightness.

Please provide me detail technical speicifications required to purchase invertor my laptop dell d630
Hope your function keys are working ??
For function key to work check following...
Click the Start button, then click Run.
In the Run window, next to Open, type MSCONFIG.
Press the ENTER key.
In the System Configuration Utility window, click the Startup tab.
On the Startup tab, under Startup Item, ensure that there is a check in the HKserv checkbox.NOTE: If HKserv is missing, reinstall the HotKey Utility application and the Sony Utilities Library.
Click the OK button.
In the System Configuration box, click the restart button."
Check your power settings to see if it is changing the display brightness:
Start >> Control Panel >> Click Power Settings >> Change power setting to Always on or Home/Office.
In that window you also change the screen brightness.
I am assuming you have Win XP, correct?
Also, is it good and bright when you see the "Dell" screen at BIOS? If the BIOS screen is bright at startup, but then Windows XP is dim when it loads up, then it is a software issue.
Lastly, you can go into BIOS and control screen brightness. You might try to find that setting in Bios.
Thanks!

Sounds like an inverter.
If it is the CCFL bulb it usually will give of a pink glow and get worse.
If you have an old (GOOD) inverter out of a differnt laptop or an old portable DVD player you can use a 9v battery to check the CCFL backlight so you know for sure.
Just put the positave from the 9v battery to the yellow wire on the inverter board and the black to the ground screw hole,
and plug that into the CCFL bulb you need to chek.
Most inverter get 12v from the mother board but I use a good 9v battery and it work well for a quick test of the ccfl bulb.

Visit the control panel, then select "display", select the tab "settings" and troubleshoot your screen.

You can buy the inverter at reasonably cheap price from ebay.

You can also order the part from Dell.
As suggested by Grant1842 you can use another inverter to test the CCFL if you are very sure what to do.
The fact that the laptop works fine on startup ..... i guess the inverter is OK.
I suspect that the CCFL may be about to die.
What I suggest is that you try to stop the PC from booting. Get to the system bios and leave it in that state for a while
see if the page gets dim. If yes, it will be confirm the inverter OR CCFL is on the verge of break down.
