ibook G4 14" - Mid 2005 Screen slightly dark

I obtained a iBook G4 14" - mid 2005, and the screen is slightly dark, even at it's brightest. Do I need to replace the panel or is the backlight separate in a unit this old. Also, might as well ask, is there an adapter, or series of adapters to go from what ever connector is used for this panel to eDP for a modern panel?

You can replace the CFL backlighting with same or LED conversion, however this requires some trial and error to get it just right - it's not a quick swap. Keep in mind LCD panels of this era are much dimmer compared to modern LCDs. Switching in a modern LCD isn't really feasible.
