I never had any problem with this machine for months. Today I wanted to buy a nice carry case for the notebook and checked with few bags. There wasn't any mishandling too.
Now I am home and turned the notebook ON....I could not see anything on the display. I gave it some time...still nothing. Then I looked at the display from an angle...I could see everything but very very dim....too dim to make out anything.
Now I tried everything with the display at an angle (so that I can make out what I am doing).
1: I tried the Brightness switch (Fn)+ F8 and Fn + F7.....no change.
2: I went to the SETUP Menu during boot....and changed the LCD Brightness to MaX, then Min, Then Auto.......with consecutive reboots.....no change. I tried all this with everything barely visible. Even the boot screen is very dim.
3: I tried to reinstall the OS.....I had to leave it before it started anything as I cannot' see what I am doing.
4: I connected the S-Video to a TV and tried to see it on the TV.....Everything was perfect. The LCD still has nothing. (I have tried the switching display function before (1)...to make sure the video is directed to the LCD.....it is and not working).
I am not sure if I want to open the display.
So, I come here to ask your experiences on the display thing.
UPDATE:
The notebook is open and still not working after 3 days. I haven't tried crimping the connection points yet. I will wait until I get another inverter and see if that is the problem. If it doesn't work, then I will try crimping the hard way. The last thing I am going to do, if it doesn't work, is to put in a new backlight.
If that too doesn't work, then I have a desktop....have to buy a monitor to work on that computer.
Thank you.
