(2) My screen for the dell smartstep 200n goes dark after about 15 minutes of use , however I can still see the images on screen in the background is it time for a new screen or display cable? Thanks

It may be the inverter tube though...considering the age.

Yes, but depending on the cost...you may be better off with a new notebook.
