Hello.
My screen suddenly turned all dim. I can see a bit if i point a flashlight at the screen.
Works with external display. (HDMI and apple tv wireless).
Was told by my local repair shop that it would cost 500$ and 5 weeks to fix it, which did not sound like something i'd like to do............
Anything i can do myself to fix this. I have great experience with repairing iPhone and iPads.
Thank you.
Is this a good question?

Will most likely be either the screen pcb, screen cable, LCD connector, backlight fuse, backlight IC, backlight IC feedback trace, or a combination (maybe even none of these).
If you have experience microsoldering, and have the required equipment, grab a schematic and board view for your model. If not, send it somewhere.

Well... Yes & No ;-{
You may have blown a fuse link seen here marked in Red:
But there is a reason it blow if that is the case. I would recommend you investigate the root cause before replacing the fuse link. You'll need either a micro soldering iron or heat gun as well as get the correct replacement part.
The other possibility here is the Buck Controller which powers the backlight LEDs has blown. I often see this happen when something was spilled into the keyboard. The chip is on the backside of the logic board seen here marked in Blue:
If you don't have the tools I would recommend you let someone deal with this.
