But the screens work fine (can see the image with a light)<BR /><BR />Is there a problem with my laptop and not the screens?<BR /><BR />Of have this company sent me a dodgy screen? (it doesnt look brand new tbh the plastic cover has big bubbles and there is a bend on the bracket connecting the chip to the screen)<BR /><BR />Has anyone got any ideas?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 03 Jun 2009 15:07:36 GMT https://community.sony.fi/t5/pcs-accessories/sz-dim-screen-backlight-not-working/m-p/67795#M53024 Avi110 2009-06-03T15:07:36Z Re: SZ Dim Screen - backlight not working!! https://community.sony.fi/t5/pcs-accessories/sz-dim-screen-backlight-not-working/m-p/67796#M53025 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi Avi110 and welcome to the forum.<BR /><BR />A faulty inverter or bad wiring connection to the inverter would cause the symptoms you describe.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 03 Jun 2009 15:13:03 GMT https://community.sony.fi/t5/pcs-accessories/sz-dim-screen-backlight-not-working/m-p/67796#M53025 rich912 2009-06-03T15:13:03Z Re: SZ Dim Screen - backlight not working!! https://community.sony.fi/t5/pcs-accessories/sz-dim-screen-backlight-not-working/m-p/67797#M53026 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><PRE __jive_macro_name="quote" class="jive_text_macro jive_macro_quote">Hi Avi110 and welcome to the forum.<BR /><BR />A faulty inverter or bad wiring connection to the inverter would cause the symptoms you describe.<BR /></PRE><BR /><BR />Hi, yup the inverter is part of the screen right... this new screen still doesnt work so im guessing its not that unless i broke my inverter and they sent me a screen with a broken inverter all in 24h<BR /><BR />Any way i can diagnose the connection wire? (test the pins with a voltmeter or something?)<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 03 Jun 2009 15:50:36 GMT https://community.sony.fi/t5/pcs-accessories/sz-dim-screen-backlight-not-working/m-p/67797#M53026 Avi110 2009-06-03T15:50:36Z Re: SZ Dim Screen - backlight not working!! https://community.sony.fi/t5/pcs-accessories/sz-dim-screen-backlight-not-working/m-p/67798#M53027 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi<BR /><BR />Yes, the backlight inverter is usually housed within the lower part of the screen assembly.<BR /><BR />Did you purchase a full screen assembly or just the LCD?<BR /><BR />Have a look <A href="http://www.fonerbooks.com/test.htm" target="_blank">here</A> for details on how to test the inverter or Google for further info...<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 03 Jun 2009 17:15:34 GMT https://community.sony.fi/t5/pcs-accessories/sz-dim-screen-backlight-not-working/m-p/67798#M53027 rich912 2009-06-03T17:15:34Z Re: SZ Dim Screen - backlight not working!! https://community.sony.fi/t5/pcs-accessories/sz-dim-screen-backlight-not-working/m-p/67800#M53028 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>It's a whole new screen<BR /><BR />I have a feeling its not the screen and something on the laptop :S?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 03 Jun 2009 20:29:38 GMT https://community.sony.fi/t5/pcs-accessories/sz-dim-screen-backlight-not-working/m-p/67800#M53028 Avi110 2009-06-03T20:29:38Z Re: SZ Dim Screen - backlight not working!! https://community.sony.fi/t5/pcs-accessories/sz-dim-screen-backlight-not-working/m-p/67801#M53029 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I have sent you a PM...<BR /><BR />BTW have you tried attaching an external monitor?<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 04 Jun 2009 16:50:18 GMT https://community.sony.fi/t5/pcs-accessories/sz-dim-screen-backlight-not-working/m-p/67801#M53029 rich912 2009-06-04T16:50:18Z
