The display does not work, yet the sound works fine. restarting the computer makes all the same sounds that usually happen but the screen doesnt display anything. any suggestions?
You should angle the screen towards the light to see if you have a faint image on it. If so, the problem is more than likely a failed inverter, or CCFL lamp on the LCD itself. Either in which would have to be replaced. The CCFL lamp unfoutunatly part of the LCD it self and cannot be replaced seperate the screen. The inverter can be replaced easy as it it right under the screen. Symtoms of a failing CCFL could be the white comes out as red on the screen for the 1st 10 sec or so of startup. This will put alot of stress on the inverter causing the inverter to overheat and shut off. I have one to where the CCFL failed and am trying to find a replacement. Good luck
