Okay, so my friend found an abandoned laptop at our college, gave it to me, and I'm trying to find out what's wrong with it. I can't see anything on it!! There is something seriously wrong with the back light on this thing. It is very, very faint, I can't even see the cursor move in some spots. I have to do everything with key commands. My questions anyway is: is there some sort of cable that I can use to make the display show up on a different system? Like one of my desktops that I have? I have no idea what they're called if they make them...
found a lap top :)

Don't call members newbie.
You need to reread his question.
They're called VGA cables. Just purchase one, and you can use a separate monitor to see what's on the notebook.

plug in the VGA and right click anything.
sometimes this will flick it on.
anyway, other thing, hit the back of the laptop, if this don't work, then simply go down to the hardware store, buy a shiny hammer, take it down with the laptop, 1v1 just you and the laptop, then this should teach it not to f**k with you when it comes to screens. Then buy a new laptop and if it appears to come out the same repeat what i said and do that hammer thing, its jolly good fun
