Vaio screen problems

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 
Hey, I'm looking for some direction with my Sony Vaio VPCCW21FX. I had cracked the screen and ordered a new one. Being in a hurry at the time, I made a really dumb mistake and plugged the new screen in with the power on to the laptop. It went blank instantly. I powered it off and tried it again, still nothing. I powered it off again and tried the broken screen which would still light up and it had no light either. Is it the lcd inverter that blew?? Any ideas?? Thanks for any help!!

Plug in an external monitor to be sure that nothing else has been broken.

Thanks for the advice. I connected it to an ext monitor and all is good that way. Any other thoughts?

That's good new. I would concentrate next on the inverter and the cable that connects the LCD to the board.

Thanks again. I'm having trouble identifying the lcd inverter board in this Sony Vaio VPCCW21FX laptop. There are two small boards above the screen, one on the left and right but not sure if these are inverter(s). I located a board long narrow board that looks like pics I've seen but this has button controls on it. Would you have any ideas on how to properly identify the board??

Would you put up some pics for us? The inverter is usually at the bottom of the LCD

Vaio screen problems-Pics

Hey, here are some pics of the laptop with and without the screen and some close ups. Not sure where the inverter is on this one... I can certainly get more if needed. Thanks again.

This is what inverter looks like on Sony. See anything familiar? Pic#7?

I looked at it closer and the #7 pic is the webcam board. I wouldn't think the inverter would be on this board?? I think I'll take the laptop case apart and see if I can find it there...
