The clip holding one of the keys has broken where do i find replacements? its a lg netbook x110

Well, the good news is you pretty much trouble shot the issue. If you plug it into the monitor and see your desktop without any issues, the video card in the notebook is still good. That's the good news. The bad news is your laptop display is bad. It sounds like your back light is failing. You can purchase another one; but it is much easier to replace the screen as several things can go wrong trying to replace just the back light. There are plenty of YouTube videos on how to replace the screen yourself if you're daring enough, or take it to a computer repair store and they can replace it for you.

Hi,
Do you have anything on the laptop you need to keep? have you done backed ups of any files etc?

To do a factory restore
Press the F11 key when you turn on the laptop (may have to tap it several times)
Then follow the guided prompts to do a factory restore.

Alternate option to do a factory restore:
Press F8 when you turn on the laptop (may have to tap repeatedly)
a menu should come up
choose repair your computer
then select factory recovery/lg recovery?

A password is required for access to the BIOS and I do not know the password. I have had this problem for quite some time now but luckily I've managed to get access to the BIOS now. I used lots of different programs to crack the password but I failed in vain. I removed the little battery that sat on the motherboard but nothing happened, I ran Hirens bootcd 15.1 and it did not help either. Eventually I got hold of a new system BIOS for my LG X110 and then flashed my BIOS. No password is needed now :) Download LG Notebook (X110/XD110) System BIOS here -> http://download.notebook-driver.com/driver/LG/X110/BIOS_Setup_X110.zip and run the program. That should solve your problem, because it did for me :)

You could have a faulty inverter or a CCFL lamp, To determine if you have a LCD screen, inverter or video card problem, read this and follow these instructions.
Defective CCFL backlight, it may have the following symptom: Screen flashs on red/pink and off. Picture stays on in red and slowly be come normal. Picture flickering with dim display or appear black. Picture flickering on and off. All these symptoms indicate that the LCD backlight lamp (CCFL Lamp) has reached the end of the life and all you need to do is replacing the CCFL lamp.
Connect an external monitor to your laptop and power the monitor up first then the laptop, if you see the normal Windows images then the video card and laptop is OK and the problem is definitely the backlight. Dim image and/or dark display on the laptop's LCD screen indicates a faulty LCD backlight and it could be the inverter that supplies high voltage to the CCFL lamp or it is the CCLF lamp is nearly burnt out or burnt out, most likely this is the case.
The inverter can be replaced easily but the CCLF lamp is more time consuming and requires soldering skills.
