Hey, I just replaced my monitor because it was cracked, all went well very easy 8 screws popped the LID off 2 places to connect to reconnect at and I FIGURED I was all finished and saved myself 300 dollars. Well i think i was wrong. Because when i jiggle the SCREEN and open and close the lid the back LIGHT just goes off. I open back up the lid make sure all the connectionss are tightly secured, nothing is loose...I seal it back up and the same problem occurs! Any ideas? Im working with a Toshiba Satellite M305D... Computer is only 2 months old so its not burned out from age. Did you use a service manual to assist you in opening the LCD screen?

nope didnt use a service manual, it was all very basicPerhaps a screw is short circuiting?

Or maybe the backlight isn't at fault, what type of monitor is this and have you checked for leaking CAPACITORS? May be the LCD inverter is bad or going bad...how do i check the lcd inverter and can you expand upon the screw causing a short? Thanks guysWhen you turn on the computer, can you see ANYTHING on the screen?
(Try holding it to the light, looking closely or from different angles)Quote from: banksrobbanks on December 19, 2008, 05:43:54 PM
