Default Laptop LCD is dim

I have just repalced both the LCD and the inverter on an HP Pavilion dv2000 laptop. The original LCD got cracked when a user packed the laptop in his checked baggage at the airport. I installed a new LCD and a new inverter but the LCD remains dim. I have tried adjusting any possible BIOS settings, video card settings and repeatedly hit FN + F8. No change. If I hook up the laptop to an external monitor everything looks great but the LCD remains dim. Anybody got any ideas? I am at a loss.

Is the laptops LCD display dim when using battery power and AC? Also I know on my laptop I have a dimmer switch when I press the Fn key and the up or down arrow key. I know that sounds like a very basic step but sometimes basics are overlooked.

Have you considered it might be a power management issue? Vista has a few bugs in power management ie not switching from battery to wall plug settings properly.
