Satellite A215-S7437 Screen flicker, then goes very,very dim

Only seconds after entering user password the screen begins to flicker and then goes black. Can actually still see the desktop under a very strong light .  Computer still seems to operate normally with the exception of the darkened screen. If lid is closed and reopened the screen comes back to life (but for only a minute or so). 

Any ideas??

Probably either the backlight or the inverter is going out.

Am having similar problem with my same model (Satellite A215-S7437) but while in the middle of working, the screen goes completely black.  The computer is still on, but can't see a thing.  Always requires a reboot.  Anyone else having this problem and if so, what was solution?
