| 1189711 | 2011-03-26 23:53:00 | This laptop here is too old so not fixing ... The LCD has nothing but when you turn it on the screen does get a brighter black just no image. Inverter required? And if I shown a torch on it I don't think I can see anything either. Thanks. |

| 1189714 | 2011-03-27 20:18:00 | Out of interest, is the inverter or the bulb (backlight) design standardised? Or would I need a v specific one to each laptop. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1189715 | 2011-03-27 21:13:00 | They are standard in that they are all CCFL tubes (unless you have a new LCD with LED backlight) and that they are similar lengths for same sized screens (but could be a few mm different and you must get this right) Some are also thicker than others. Apart from that they are not standard, and nor are inverters. They will work on much the same electrical way but they will all be different designs and you must get the correct one. Replacing the backlight can also be a bit tricky as you often must actually disassemble the LCD panel to get at it. Not impossible, not as much risk as opening a hard drive, but not for the inexperienced either. |
