Satellite screen stopped working

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Hi all,
I don't know if this question has already been asked, but I don't how to search for it.
Was working on my toshiba satellite and closed it for a moment. When I opened it up, the screen was off, with only a slight white light at the bottom edge.
I had rebooted, and the problem persisted. When I plugged a monitor and rebooted, everything came up fine, so I assume its not the video card.
I figure it must the screen or possibly its connection to the motherboard.

Any ideas?


Thanx

2 possibilities, if the external monitor functions correctly:
. inverter - cheap and easy diy
. backlight - still cheap and easy-to-medium diy

or, pure luck, loose cable?

cheers ...
