Dell Inspiron E1505 / 6400 - screen works ... sometimes

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I've had my laptop for about a year and sometimes when I press power the screen works, and sometimes it doesnt.

It has done this since I got it (brand new). Its never really been a major problem because I just boot it up again until it works.. I'd say theres about a 50% chance of the screen working. THe lights will go on... I can hear it running.. but the screen stays off.

Once it does boot up properly (with the screen working), its fine, and the LCD works flawlessly until I turn it off.

Like I said, I never really paid too much attention to this problem because I'd just turn it off an on again, but now I may be passing my laptop on to a family member and would like to get this issue resolved if possible.

Anyone know what the problem could be? thanks in advance

unseated lcd ribbon?
definitely would complain to dell and get it fixed. or if you have an ounce of mechanical ability take off the hinge cover and reinstall the molex connector, and if that doesn't help, take apart your screen and re seat the ribbon there.
