Solved: Laptop LCD Screen Issues?? HELP???

Okay, here is my issue.... i have a dell inspiron 6000 (that is no longer under warranty) and the lcd has gone dim, and then would not boot. so i replaced the motherboard and the screen was still dim. i then replaced the lcd screen, and it is still dim???? i checked the lcd screen on the same model laptop, and the screen worked?? at this point i am completely stumped and i was hoping someone could give me some ideas?? i have already checked the hard drive, it is fine, battery is fine, boy do i need some help on this one? Thanks for any ideas in advance....

 

Check the ribbon cable connections for the screen and if you had the option for the add-in card check the card is seated properly.

 

It's the inverter...the thing at the bottom of the LCD panel on screens that come out of Dells. Check that

 

Thanks for the reply, but..... we have replaced that too??? any other ideas???

 

i will check the ribbons again though...

 

Wow this may sound completely stupid and I don't own a laptop but aren't there function keys that allow you to adjust the brightness and gamma? That would be the first thing I would check. And I'm sure you already have but just checking

Good luck
Josh

The Light had gone out on the new screen Thanks for everyones help!!!
