My lcd screen is not showing up (can't see any letters/numbers) help me?

try to unplug the LCD from Board and plug again, it will solve your problem. if persist that mean you need to buy new LCD, to learn how to open device search on you tube.com

1) Loose connection of the Video Cable TO the motherboard, and/or TO the back of the LCD screen.

Can easily happen when reassembling.
(If you can't reuse the sticky tape on the back of the LCD screen, that holds the Video Cable to it, use more tape )

2) Incompatible LCD screen.
MATCH up the manufacturer's numbers on the back of the old LCD screen, to the new one.

They MUST crossover, and match up, if they are two different LCD screen manufacturers.

The screen Inverter is MATCHED to the LCD screen, also.

Matching up the Model Number, (Product Number for HP), may not be all the info you need.
Matching the numbers off of the old screen, for the new one, is.

Under the red heading - Find Your Spare Parts - click on the blue Down Arrow to the right of the - Choose Model - box.
What Model is yours?

Write down the manufacturer and product ID number.
Now go to the far upper left of the page. In the box under - Part Number Search, type the letter/numbers for your old LCD screen.

On the page that comes up. Do they match?
Putting the letter/numbers in for the LCD screen you just purchased.
Do they match?

IF the old LCD screen works at all, reconnect it, and see if it works.
If so the LCD screen you purchased does not.

3) Make SURE the screen Inverter cables (Wires) are connected tightly.

[ Check the connection of the Video Cable to motherboard first.
Then the Inverters wires, then the Video Cable connection at the back of the LCD screen ]

Primer:
An LCD screen cannot produce light. It needs an additional light source.
A Backlight is the additional light source.

A Backlight can be a CCFL or a series of LED lights

The HP Mini 1000 series of Netbook PC's uses a CCFL.
Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp.

Similar to Fluorescent lighting used in homes, and businesses, but on a MUCH smaller scale.

OR a series of LED lights. Depends on the model. (8.9 inch LCD screen models usually use CCFL. 10.1 models usually use LED lights)

A screen Inverter (FL Inverter) is used to convert power from the laptop, for the Backlight, and LCD screen.

Make sure there is 6 Volts DC power going through the Inverter.

[ NOTE*
90 PERCENT OF THE TIME the fault is the Inverter ]

Laptops do not have as many keys as a normal keyboard so often they include the numbers over letter keys.
So, by mistake you pressed a ctrl or alt or [A] key that simply switches the keys from letters to numbers.
A light or indication must be ON on your laptop indicating that it's Numbers or Letters ON.

Find the key that changes the function and restore the function to letters.

Ok..........un plug the set and your cable or sat reciever.........plug back in to reboot both........be sure your set up shows captions and text "off"
Next step if this does not solve is to play a dvd and see if ok. this will separate the tv from your cable or sat reciever. If still continues your set may have corrupted data in the eeprom and need main board. Try the ez stuff first!!

Have you checked the dealer locator at the Babylock website?

Another option would be a Brother dealer as the machines are from the same "family".

replace the LCD...free from www.moultriefeeders.com

LCD screen is shot. if out of warrenty. Replace the units

keypad mat of your might have rust or deteriorated.
does your wet?

I think you have a lose connection caused by rotation of the flip up lcd screen. My MP520 does the same, but the characters display half way down when closing. I have not got round to opening it up to get to the guubings yet.
