If the connector is not the culprit, then the two other obvious possibilities are 1. the lcd panel is faulty or 2. the inverter is faulty.

Here is a link to a panel and you can see the inverter below

Good Luck

 

Thanx for that risk hmm... strange how I missed that thread... Point taken i think its a job for local specialist as i'm confident taking apart desktops but not laptops. Will pass this on to friend this morning.

 

If you are comfortable dismantling desktops this should be no trouble whatsoever. Just follow the instructions in the thread.

Removing the laptop lcd screen bezel in order to check the connector on the back is fairly straight forward.

Good Luck
