If you shine a light on the screen and are able to see something running barely , then there's no reason to replace the entire screen which is expensive , but with a little research you can figure out how to get the replacement parts for the backlight and inverter; there are also online guides for opening up the laptop and replacing these specific parts. But on the bright side, at least you'll have a spare hard drive, memory, and optical drive. And I could hear the fan going on but very low, not as loud as it usually is.
